“…Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation could be the central links between the production of phytochemicals and multiple signaling molecules and transduction (Figure A), considering the decisive role of phosphorylation–dephosphorylation processes in regulating protein activities and biochemical processes. , Phosphorylation–dephosphorylation processes generally occur in plasma membrane proteins, as a downstream physiological process of plant receptors activation . For example, brassinosteroids (BR) signaling ubiquitously exists in environmentally stressed plants by regulating physiological processes to alleviate the deleterious effects induced by cold, heat, drought, etc.…”

Emerging evidence has confirmed the role of emerging nonthermal stressors (e.g., electromagnetic fields, ultrasonication, plasma) in accumulating bioactive metabolites in plant-based food. However, the signal decoding mechanisms behind NonTt-driven phytochemical production remain unclear, hindering postharvest bioactive component intensification. This study aims to summarize the association between signaling molecules and bioactive secondary metabolite production under nonthermal conditions, demonstrating the feasibility of enhancing phytochemical accumulation through signaling molecule crosstalk manipulation. Nonthermal elicitors were found to be capable of inducing stress metabolisms and activating various signaling molecules, similar to conventional abiotic stress. A simplified pathway model for nonthermally induced γ-aminobutyric acid accumulation was proposed with reactive oxygen species and calcium signaling being versatile pathways responsive to nonthermal elicitors. Manipulating signal molecules/pathways under nonthermal conditions can intensify phytochemical biosynthesis. Further research is needed to integrate signaling molecule responses and metabolic network shifts in nonthermally stressed plant-based matrices, balancing quality modifications and intensification of food functionality potential.

“…The rate of respiration and germination and consumption of reduced sugars decreases at low temperatures, and these reduced sugars accumulate in the gland and cause it to darken (Tadesse et al, 2018). However, some studies have shown that contrary to appearances, the reduction of sugar accumulation is more dependent on the plant cultivar than environmental processes (dos S Costa et al, 2021). De Freitas et al (2012) investigated the effect of storage temperature on three potato cultivars Asterix, SMINIA793101‐3, and Missaukee in both spring and autumn cultivation in Brazilian climatic conditions.…”

There is increasing interest in the application of natural plant extracts for the postharvest management of food crops. This study investigates the potential for hydrodistilled natural essential oils to inhibit the germination of potato tubers in storage.Four completely randomized design experiments were undertaken with extracts of seven medicinal plants [(Zataria multiflora L.), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare L.), summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.), cloves (Eugenia caryophylium L.), lavender (Lavandula officinalis L.), and black cumin (Bunium persicum L.)], at four concentrations (0, 150, 300, and 450 μl/L) and three replications. Tubers were treated with essential oil vapor and then stored for 6 months at 8°C in the dark. Peppermint and fennel essential oils, at a concentration of 300 μl/L, completely inhibited tuber germination. In pregermination experiments, the dimensional and mass weight of tubers before germination increased by 18.4% and 21.11%, respectively, in the control treatment compared with the treated tubers with a concentration of 150 μl/L. However, the highest rate for the mentioned parameters in postgermination experiments was observed at a concentration of 300 μl/L fennel treatments. Peppermint and fennel essential oil with a concentration of 300 μl/L completely inhibited germination and tubers had acceptable volume, mass, dry matter, protein, and potassium.Also, the highest concentration of sugar (44.44 mg/g) occurred in tubers treated with fennel (300 μl/L), but the starch levels were lower than in tubers treated with the other essential oils. From these results, peppermint essential oil was identified as the best treatment and it is recommended for use in commercial harvests.Novelty impact statement: Plant essential oils are safe substances for the environment and human health. Therefore, for the first time, these essential oils with different concentrations were evaluated for an Iranian potato cultivar. The innovation of this article was the use of a range of concentrations and diversity of important plant essential oils to provide a novel solution for Iranian farmers in controlling potato germination and storage conditions.

“…Cold storage (refrigeration) is used to extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. The following temperatures are recommended for storage: for tomatoes (8–10 °C and 13–21 °C for firm green and ripe green tomatoes, respectively), and for eggplants (8–12 °C) (Costa et al, 2022). However, cold storage alone is not effective in extending the shelf life of fruits and vegetables in most cases, and cold storage of fruits and vegetables with postharvest treatments is another important strategy for doing so.…”

The effects of postharvest applications of hot water (HWT) (45, 50, and 55°C), 1-MCP (1, 5, and 10 μL L−1), and CaCl2 (1, 2, and 3%) on polygalacturonase (PG), pectin methylesterase (PME), α-galactosidase ( α-Gal), β-galactosidase ( β-Gal) and β-1,4-glucanase ( β-1,4-Glu) activities, and the fruit firmness and cell wall composition of eggplant fruit were investigated. The results showed that the decrease in the eggplants firmness was delayed by HWT, 1-MCP, and CaCl2 treatments during storage compared with the control. However, HWTs were less effective than the 1-MCP and CaCl2 treatments. The results show that 1-MCP and CaCl2 treatments inhibited the depolymerization of water (WSP), CDTA (CSP), and sodium carbonate (SSP) soluble polyuronides. The results suggest that 1-MCP (5 and 10 μL L−1) and CaCl2 (1, 2, and 3%) could prevent eggplant softening by inhibiting hydrolase enzymes and reducing the disintegration of the polysaccharides. In addition, 1-MCP and CaCl2 were more effective than hot water treatment in extending postharvest storage life. There is a significantly high correlation between firmness, polyuronide content and cell wall enzyme activity.
