Abiotic stress potential has a significant impact on quality and nutritional status of fresh cut
fruits and vegetables. However, very little work has been directed to defining and …

The present review, an update of van Doorn (1997), covers topics such as the role of xylem
and phloem in providing water to flowers in intact plants, the artificial reduction of stomatal …

Current research indicates that both salicylic acid (SA), a likely signal in the response of
plants to stress, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC 4.3. 1.5), a key enzyme in …

Increasing evidence suggests that phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase (PAL, EC 4.3. 1.5) is
associated with low temperature stress in plant tissues. Banana fruit are highly susceptible …

BACKGROUND The production of high‐quality crops based on phytochemicals is a strategy
for accelerating the practical use of plant factories. Previous studies have demonstrated that …

A series of biochemical parameters, including the concentration of total ascorbic acid
(ASAtot) and the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase …

Many evidences had indicated that both salicylic acid (SA), a likely signal in resistance
responses of plants to stresses, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC 4.3. 1.5), a key …

This paper covers an exhaustive review on advances in minimal processing of fruits and
vegetables. The review includes an exclusive discussion on production chain of minimally …

In fresh-cut leafy vegetables, the operation of cutting may stimulate enzymatic browning, with
important commercial consequences. In this work, a number of physiological and …

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) serves as a reference dicot for investigation of defence
mechanisms in Asteraceae due to abundant secondary metabolites and high …
