SlMsrB5-SlGRAS4 involved in methyl jasmonate-mediated ripening and quality of postharvest tomato fruit Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-04 Xiaodong Fu, Fujun Li, Maratab Ali, Yanan Song, Jun Ding, Xiangrong Kong, Jing Shang, Xiuming Zhao, Xiaoan Li, Xinhua Zhang
Methionine (Met) sulfoxide reductase (Msr) is a protein that converts free or protein-bound Met sulfoxide (MetSO) to Met in horticultural crops, thereby facilitating protein repair. In our previous study, we identified as a significant up-regulated gene in response to methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment. Many studies have shown that MeJA not only induces ethylene production and promotes ripening but

Efficient estimation of gas exchange and respiration kinetics in apple using pathlength-resolved GASMAS Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Manju Joseph, Hui Xiao, Annelies Postelmans, Maarten Hertog, Pieter Verboven, Bart Nicolaï, Wouter Saeys
Optimization of controlled atmosphere (CA) storage of pome fruit crucially depends on understanding of respiratory gas exchange. Different fruit properties are involved in describing gas transfer and respiration kinetics, which can vary between cultivars, fruit batches and individual fruit. Determination of these properties currently requires a combination of different time-consuming techniques and

Tomato NAC transcription factor NOR-like1 positively regulates tomato fruit softening Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Zhen-Zhen Peng, Hong-Li Li, Gang-Shuai Liu, Xiao Su, Xiaodan Zhao, Donald Grierson, Lan-Ting Xiang, Jian-Lin He, Gui-Qin Qu, Hong-Liang Zhu, Ben-Zhong Zhu, Yun-Bo Luo, Da-Qi Fu
Softening is a key factor affecting the quality and shelf life of fleshy fruits and is regulated by transcription factors (TFs). Our previous studies have shown that knockout of the gene, a NAC transcription factor, can affect fruit ripening and firmness, but the molecular of NOR-like1 regulating fruit softening is not fully understand. Here, we firstly generate the over-expressing lines (OE-NOR-like1)

Evaluating the microstructure and physicochemical properties of ‘Korla’ fragrant pear disease caused by Alternaria alternata: Vis-NIR hyperspectral microscope imaging coupled with convolutional neural network Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-04-03 Sicong You, Yiting Li, Jin Song, Xiaobo Yu, Kang Tu, Weijie Lan, Leiqing Pan
This work explored the possibility of using hyperspectral microscope imaging (HMI) technique coupled with advanced chemometric methods to evaluate the cell wall microstructure and physiochemical properties of ‘Korla’ fragrant pear disease caused by . The physicochemical characteristics such as SSC, firmness and value of pears undergo successive decreases and the microstructure of the cell wall breaks
