Light spectra significantly influence plant metabolism, growth and development. Here, we
review the effects of monochromatic blue, red and green light compared to those of …

Physical treatments have gained great interest in recent years to control many postharvest
diseases in fruits and vegetables because the total absence of residues in the treated …

We investigated the effect of exogenous glutathione (GSH) on chilling injury (CI) in
postharvest bell pepper fruits stored at low temperature and explored the mechanism of this …

Increasing loss of conventional fungicides due to pathogen resistance and general
unacceptability in terms of public and environmental risk have favoured the introduction of …

There is an abundant literature about the biological and physiological effects of UV-B light
and the signaling and metabolic pathways it triggers and influences. Much less is known …

It has been suggested that accumulation of flavonoids could be a key step in development of
plant tolerance to different environmental stresses. Moreover, it has been recognized that …

Peppers (Capsicum annum L. cv. Zafiro), having 90% red color, were treated with UV-C light
(7kJm− 2) and stored at 10° C for 18 days. The UV-C treatment reduced decay. UV-C …

The use of UV-C radiation treatments to inhibit the microbial growth and extend the shelf-life
of minimally processed 'Red Oak Leaf'lettuce was investigated. Initially, UV-C resistance of …

The effects of UV‐C (4.1 kJ m− 2) and heat treatment (45° C, 3 h in air) either separately or
combined on the quality of strawberries (Fragaria× ananassa cv Seascape) at the 75 or 50 …
