Abstract:Brassinolide (BR) is a natural plant hormone that enhances stress resistance, preserving the freshness and quality of postharvest fruits. This study investigated the effects of exogenous BR on chilling injury, physiological characteristics, and antioxidant capacity in sweet cherries (Prunus avium L. cv. Tieton) during cold storage. Cherries were treated with distilled water (Control, CK), 2 μmol·L−1 BR (CL1), and 10 μmol·L−1 BR (CL2) for 30 min, then stored at 2 ± 1 °C for 28 d. Sampling occurred every 7 d to … Show more
