“…Currently information about the influence of NO on molecular processes regulating fruit ripening is largely restricted to post-harvest fruits stored in cold (Manjunatha et al, 2014). NO fumigation of cold-stored mango fruits increased the levels of tartaric acid and shikimic acids (Zaharah and Singh, 2011).…”

Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in growth and disease resistance in plants. It also acts as a secondary messenger in signaling pathways for several plant hormones. Despite its clear role in regulating plant development, its role in fruit development is not known. In an earlier study, we described a short root (shr) mutant of tomato, whose phenotype results from hyperaccumulation of NO. The molecular mapping localized shr locus in 2.5 Mb region of chromosome 9. The shr mutant showed sluggish growth, with smaller leaves, flowers and was less fertile than wild type. The shr mutant also showed reduced fruit size and slower ripening of the fruits post-mature green stage to the red ripe stage. Comparison of the metabolite profiles of shr fruits with wild-type fruits during ripening revealed a significant shift in the patterns. In shr fruits intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle were differentially regulated than WT indicating NO affected the regulation of TCA cycle. The accumulation of several amino acids, particularly tyrosine, was higher, whereas most fatty acids were downregulated in shr fruits. Among the plant hormones at one or more stages of ripening, ethylene, Indole-3-acetic acid and Indole-3-butyric acid increased in shr, whereas abscisic acid declined. Our analyses indicate that the retardation of fruit growth and ripening in shr mutant likely results from the influence of NO on central carbon metabolism and endogenous phytohormones levels.

“…Recently, NO was reported to play vital roles in delaying senescence and improving the quality of horticultural products. NO inhibited the production of ethylene by modulating the expressions of some genes and proteins during postharvest of horticulture plants [9]. NO, as a preservative solution to cut flowers, can extend the vase life of cut gerbera flowers by increasing water uptake and promoting antioxidant activity [10].…”

Our previous studies suggested that both hydrogen gas (H2) and nitric oxide (NO) could enhance the postharvest freshness of cut flowers. However, the crosstalk of H2 and NO during that process is unknown. Here, cut lilies (Lilium “Manissa”) were used to investigate the relationship between H2 and NO and to identify differentially accumulated proteins during postharvest freshness. The results revealed that 1% hydrogen-rich water (HRW) and 150 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP) significantly extended the vase life and quality, while NO inhibitors suppressed the positive effects of HRW. Proteomics analysis found 50 differentially accumulated proteins in lilies leaves which were classified into seven functional categories. Among them, ATP synthase CF1 alpha subunit (chloroplast) (AtpA) was up-regulated by HRW and down-regulated by NO inhibitor. The expression level of LlatpA gene was consistent with the result of proteomics analysis. The positive effect of HRW and SNP on ATP synthase activity was inhibited by NO inhibitor. Meanwhile, the physiological-level analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthetic parameters also agreed with the expression of AtpA regulated by HRW and SNP. Altogether, our results suggested that NO might be involved in H2-improved freshness of cut lilies, and AtpA protein may play important roles during that process.

“…Leshem and Haramaty [7] found that application of a NO donor to pea leaves under senescence-promoting conditions inhibited ethylene production. In recent years, some research reports have shown that NO at low concentrations can effectively extend the postharvest life of various fruits, such as strawberry [8], peach [9], longan [10,11], plum [12] and winter jujube [13], and a number of other horticultural crops [14,15].…”

Introduction. The effects of nitric oxide (NO) on postharvest ripening of persimmon were investigated. Materials and methods. Fruit were dipped for 30 min in 1.0 and 1.5 mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide donor, and stored at 1 • C and 90% relative humidity for 56 days. Changes in total antioxidant activity, total phenol compounds, color, firmness, soluble tannins and weight loss were evaluated. Results and discussion. The results showed that fruit ripening was significantly delayed by SNP. Application of 1.0 and 1.5 mM SNP delayed weight loss and retained greater total antioxidant activity, total phenolic compounds and firmness compared to the control treatments. No significant differences were observed between the two concentrations of SNP. Conclusion. These results demonstrated that postharvest NO application has potential to delay ripening and maintain quality of harvested persimmon fruit.Keywords: Iran / Diospyros kaki / phenolic compounds / antioxidant activity / refrigeration / postharvest management Résumé -Le traitement post-récolte du kaki (Diospyros kaki l.) à l'oxyde nitrique améliore la qualité des fruits au cours du stockage. Introduction. Les effets de l'oxyde nitrique (NO) sur la maturation post-récolte du kaki ont été étudiés. Matériel et méthodes. Les fruits ont été plongés pendant 30 minutes dans une solution à 1,0 ou 1,5 mM de nitroprussiate de sodium (SNP), un donneur d'oxyde nitrique, puis stockés à 1 • C et 90% d'humidité relative pendant 56 jours. Les changements observés dans l'activité anti-oxydante totale, les composés phénoliques totaux, la couleur, la fermeté, les tanins solubles et la perte de poids ont été étudiés. Résultats et discussion. La maturation des fruits a été considérablement retardée par les traitement au SNP. Les solutions de 1,0 ou 1,5 mM SNP ont retardé la perte de poids des fruits, ont maintenu leur fermeté et leur ont conservé une plus grande activité anti-oxydante et une plus forte teneur en composés phénoliques totaux, par rapport au contrôle. Aucune différence significative n'a été observée entre les deux concentrations de SNP. Conclusion. Ces résultats ont démontré que l'application post-récolte de NO pourrait être une méthode pratique permettant de retarder la maturation et de maintenir la qualité post-récolte des fruits du kaki.
