The function of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in the regulation of quality and antioxidative system of mango fruit was investigated during storage at ambient temperature. Changes in fruit quality, colour, ethylene production, respiration rate, fruit softening enzyme activities, and antioxidative enzyme activities were studied in this study. The results demonstrated that 1-MCP was beneficial for maintaining quality. 1-MCP treatment retarded the decline of firmness, weight, total soluble solid, and titratable acidity, which served as significant parameters for assessing fruit quality in the process of storage. Compared with the fruit of the control group, the treatment with 1-MCP dramatically delayed the colour change of both the pulp and peel and suppressed climacteric peaks of ethylene generation and respiration speed. The significant inducement of peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities were followed by 1-MCP treatment. The fruit treated with 1-MCP displayed significantly inhibited activation of enzymes on the cell wall, i.e., pectin esterase (PE), endo-1,4-β-d-glucanase (EGase), exopolygalacturonase (exo-PG), and endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG), during storage. The results suggested that 1-MCP imposed underlying impact on the maintenance of the softening and extension of postharvest life of mango fruit.

“…In general, ethylene is closely related to ripening, senescence and seed decay, and low ethylene production is beneficial for delaying the ripening and senescence of seeds . The variation tendency of ethylene production was similar to that of respiration, and both CH and CH–GSEE treatments could significantly slow down the rates of ethylene production compared with that of CK ( P < 0.05) in the later period of storage, although no statistically significant difference between the treated seeds ( P > 0.05) was observed (Fig.…”

Background The effects of Ginkgo biloba seed exopleura extract (GSEE) and chitosan (CH) coating on the preservation of ginkgo seeds were investigated. Results Results showed that CH could alleviate the decay rate, and that CH combined with GSEE (CH–GSEE) treatment further inhibited the development of seed decay due to the additional antifungal activity of GSEE. The nutrient contents, including water, starch and soluble protein, were maintained by both CH–GSEE and CH treatments. CH–GSEE treatment led to better restriction on oxidative stress by decreasing superoxide anion production rate, membrane permeability, malondialdehyde content, respiration rate and ethylene production rate. The antioxidant enzyme activities of peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase in ginkgo seeds were maintained by treatment with CH–GSEE at a higher level. These results were consistent with the enhanced visual appearance, qualities and storability of the CH–GSEE‐treated seeds. Principal component analysis provided a global view of the internal relations of the ginkgo seeds with different treatments. Conclusions The postharvest qualities of CH–GSEE‐treated seeds were better than those of other treatment groups. Therefore, CH–GSEE is an effective and alternative way for inhibiting decay, maintaining quality and extending the postharvest life of ginkgo seeds. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

“…The activities of PLD and LOX not only have impacts on cellular membrane structure and stability but also play pivotal roles in regulating many critical cellular functions, including cellular signal transduction, vesicle trafficking, cell proliferation, hormone action, cellular backbone formation, seed germination, senescence, and defense responses [9,30]. A direct correlation was found between lipid peroxidation and phospholipid hydrolysis [3].…”

Banana fruits are susceptible to mechanical damage. The present study was to investigate the responses of phospholipase D (PLD) and antioxidant system to mechanical wounding in postharvest banana fruits. During 16 d storage at 25 ∘ C and 90% relative humidity, PLD activity in wounded fruits was significantly higher than that in control (without artificial wounding fruits). The higher value of PLD mRNA was found in wounded fruits than in control. PLD mRNA expression reached the highest peak on day 4 in both groups, but it was 2.67 times in wounded fruits compared to control at that time, indicating that PLD gene expression was activated in response to wounding stress. In response to wounding stress, the higher lipoxygenase (LOX) activity was observed and malondialdehyde (MDA) production was accelerated. The activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in wounded fruits were significantly higher than those in control. The concentrations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide anion (O 2•− ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) in fruits increased under mechanical wounding. The above results provided a basis for further investigating the mechanism of postharvest banana fruits adapting to environmental stress.
