The extension of commercial life and the reduction of postharvest losses of perishable fruits
is mainly based on storage at low temperatures alone or in combination with modified …

Abstract In horticulture, Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) are applied during cultivation in the
field to control and regulate different processes with positive effects on stress responses and …

We studied the effects of ethylene on softening and sucrose metabolism in postharvest
blueberry fruit by examining the responses of fruit firmness, cell wall polysaccharides, cell …

Background Fruit quality depends on a series of biochemical events that modify
appearance, flavour and texture throughout fruit development and ripening. Cell wall …

The potential of ethylene absorbent (EA) to delay softening of 'Lanfeng'blueberry (Vaccinium
spp.) fruit in conjunction with cold storage was evaluated. The fruit quality was evaluated …

Although grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is generally classified as a non-climacteric fruit, the
regulatory mechanisms of ethylene in the ripening of non-climacteric fruit are still poorly …

This study examined the effects of postharvest storage conditions on the fruit quality of a new
red-fleshed apple cultivar ('Meihong'). Mature 'Meihong'and 'Golden delicious' apples were …

Ethylene plays a key regulatory role in the ripening of climacteric fruit. In addition to
ethylene, jasmonates (JAs) have also been demonstrated to play a role in the regulation of …

The property of apple fruit (Malus× domestica Borkh.) of being able to retain their
postharvest firmness to some extent, is an important aspect in many breeding programs. A …

β-galactosidase (β-Gal), one of the cell wall modifying enzymes, plays an important role in
fruit ripening and softening. However, its role in apple fruit texture remains unclear. In this …
