The objective of this study was to identify the effects of 100 μM melatonin (MT), 1 μL/L 1-
methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), and their combination treatments on the postharvest …

Pectin-derived bioactive molecules have been used as elicitors of defense response and
other physiological processes in plants, including harvested fruit. In the present study, the …

Harvested fruit undergo carbon and energy deprivation. However, the events underlying this
energy-related stress in detached fruit and their involvement in cell damage have not yet …

Cold storage is one of the main postharvest technologies for fruit preservation, however,
cold-sensitive citrus fruits develop peel physiological alterations affecting external quality …

Oligosaccharides are important functional active components of Lycium barbarum
L.(LBL,“Goji”) fruits, but their metabolic mechanisms are not yet clear. In this study, we firstly …
