“…In this study, electrolyte leakage and MDA overall increased along with CI development in papaya fruit during refrigeration, while GB treatment suppressed the increase in both parameters, indicating that GB treatment might reduce oxidative damage of membrane and ameliorate CI in papaya fruit. Similar result was also observed in GB-treated sweet peppers and hawthorns (Razavi et al, 2018;Wang, Ding, Zuo, Gao, & Fan, 2016).…”

“Zhongbai” papaya fruit were treated with 15 mmol/L glycine betaine ( GB ) and then refrigerated at 6°C for 40 days to study the influence of GB on chilling injury (CI) and possible mechanism associated with energy metabolism. The results exhibited that GB treatment remarkably reduced the CI severity as indicated by lower CI index during storage. GB treatment lowered electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content, which accounted for maintenance of membrane integrity and reduced lipid peroxidation. Moreover, GB treatment improved the energy status as revealed by increased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level, energy charge, and activities of energy metabolism‐related enzymes including mitochondrial membrane H + ‐adenosine triphosphatase (H + ‐ ATP ase) and Ca 2+ ‐adenosine triphosphatase (Ca 2+ ‐ ATP ase), succinate dehydrogenase ( SDH ), and cytochrome C oxidase ( CCO ). The results indicate that enhanced chilling tolerance in papaya fruit by GB treatment during cold storage might be ascribed to improved energy status in association with increased activities of energy metabolism‐related enzymes.

“…In our research, the content of

O_{2}^{-}

and H 2 O 2 (Figure ) was reduced and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, POD, CAT and SOD enhanced significantly, which fully explains the reason for exogenous calcium to alleviate cold injury (Figure ). Some studies have also found that these enzymes were regulated by different treatments in many fruits, such as low temperature intermittent warming in bell peppers (Liu et al, ), Ca in “Nanguo” pears (Wang, Zhou, Zhou, Liu, et al, ), glycine betaine in sweet peppers (Wang, Ding, Zuo, Gao, & Shi, ), and sodium para‐aminosalicylate in litchis (Li et al, ).…”

The postharvest senescence of Chinese winter jujube fruit can be effectively delayed by refrigerated storage. However, chilling injury often occurs in jujube fruit during cold storage. In this study, Chinese winter jujubes were sprayed with CaCl2 (4%) 3 times at intervals of 2 hr on the day of refrigeration. The results presented that maximum difference of 2.7 N firmness, 3.42% TAC, and 0.8 OD280/g polyphenol content were detected in calcium‐treated fruit during cold storage, but the levels of O2-, MDA, hydrogen peroxide, browning rate, electrolyte leakage, and weight loss rate were significantly inhibited (p < .05). The maximum difference of enzymes activity of CAT, POD, SOD was 2.1, 10.8, and 40.6 mol h–1 kg–1 respectively, but 21.1 mol h–1 kg–1 PPO was restrained in the treated group. In conclusion, the results provided a reliable method for inhibiting cold injury and explained the internal molecular mechanism of the fruit regulated by calcium. Practical applications Refrigerated storage is an important method for extending the storage time of Chinese winter jujube fruit. However, cold damage may occur when the jujubes are stored at low temperature for long‐term. It is, therefore, of great significance to find a new method and reveal the molecular mechanism. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because it provides an effective method of maintaining higher quality and mechanistic insights into the resistance against the chilling stress of jujubes.

“…GB accumulation can enhance PS II activity, protect D1 proteins, and strengthen assimilation of CO 2 under salt stress (Chen & Murata, ). Moreover, GB is involved in membrane protection under salt stress (Tian et al, ) and can alleviate lipid peroxidation under stress (Wang, Ding, Zuo, Gao, & Fan, ). GB plays critical roles in stabilising protein quaternary structure and a highly ordered membrane state (Sakamoto & Murata, ).…”

Choline may affect salt tolerance by regulating lipid and glycine betaine (GB) metabolism. This study was conducted to determine whether alteration of lipid profiles and GB metabolism may contribute to choline regulation and genotypic variations in salt tolerance in a halophytic grass, seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum). Plants of Adalayd and Sea Isle 2000 were subjected to salt stress (200‐mM NaCl) with or without foliar application of choline chloride (1 mM). Genotypic variations in salt tolerance and promotive effects of choline application on salt tolerance were associated with both the up‐regulation of lipid metabolism and GB synthesis. The genotypic variations in salt tolerance associated with lipid metabolism were reflected by the differential accumulation of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine between Adalayd and Sea Isle 2000. Choline‐induced salt tolerance was associated with of the increase in digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG) content including DGDG (36:4 and 36:6) in both cultivars of seashore paspalum and enhanced synthesis of phosphatidylinositol (34:2, 36:5, and 36:2) and phosphatidic acid (34:2, 34:1, and 36:5), as well as increases in the ratio of digalactosyl diacylglycerol: monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG:MGDG) in salt‐tolerant Sea Isle 2000. Choline regulation of salt tolerance may be due to the alteration in lipid metabolism in this halophytic grass species.
