Transcriptome analysis reveals key genes involved in luteolin-induced resistance against sour rot in navel orange fruit

Abstract Sour rot significantly contributes to postharvest decay in citrus fruit. Luteolin has been utilized as a preservative in fruit, but its effectiveness and mechanisms against sour rot in citrus fruit are not well understood. In this research, luteolin was utilized to inhib...

MeJA regulates aroma biosynthesis in kiwifruit during postharvest cold storage-to-shelf transition: An integrated volatilomics and transcriptomics analysis

This study aimed to clarify the regulatory effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on the postharvest quality of cold-stored kiwifruit during shelf life. Physiological analyses showed that MeJA treatment significantly delayed fruit softening, suppressed ethylene production and respirat...
