Most postharvest fruits are highly perishable, which directly impairs fruit taste and causes an
economic loss of fresh products. Thus, it is necessary to find effective techniques to alleviate …

Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a gaseous signalling molecule and is considered to be a key
regulator in the postharvest storage of fruits. Postharvest senescence is one of the most …

Soluble sugar metabolism affects the quality and chilling resistance of postharvest peach
fruit. Although hot air (HA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatments are often effective in …

Melatonin (MT) modulates a wide range of physiological functions with pleiotropic effects in
plants. In this study, we studied the effect of exogenous applications of MT to pear trees on …

In order to elucidate the metabolism of soluble carbohydrates related to chilling injury (CI) in
peach fruit (Prunus persica L. Batsch cv. Yulu) exposed to cold storage, we systematically …

Background Fruit taste is largely affected by the concentration of soluble sugars and organic
acids and non-negligibly by fructose concentration, which is the sweetest-tasting sugar. To …

Quality loss of apples during storage is a worldwide problem. In this study,'Fuji'apples were
treated with 1.0 mmol L− 1 sodium nitroprusside (SNP) to investigate its effects on storage …

Apricot is highly susceptible to chilling injury during low temperature storage, while methyl
salicylate (MeSA) can alleviate chilling injury and enhance the postharvest quality of fruit …

Enhancement of chilling tolerance has been observed in fruits treated with oxalic acid (OA).
To learn how OA may play a role in modulating chilling injury in apricot, the fruit were treated …

The present study evaluated the growth response and sugar accumulation of lettuce
exposed to different lighting modes of red and blue LED light based on the same daily light …
