The role of postharvest application of putrescine (PUT) alone or in combination with chitosan (CH) on maintaining quality of fresh table grapes (Vitis vinifera) cultivar “Shahroudi” was investigated. The clusters were dipped in an aqueous solution containing different concentrations of PUT (0, 1 and 2 mM). Following PUT treatments, some fruits were coated with 1% w/v CH. After treatment, fruits were stored at 0 ± 1C and 90 ± 5% relative humidity for 60 days and 5 additional days in evaluation room. The general appearance of rachis and berries and some physiological characters were estimated. The combination of 1 mM PUT and 1% CH reduced the weight loss, decay incidence, browning, and berry shattering and cracking. Postharvest PUT‐treated berries (1 and 2 mM) exhibited higher total phenolic content, catechin, total quercetin and antioxidant activity and the lower quercetin 3‐galactoside as compared with other treatments. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS Table grape is a nonclimacteric fruit with a low physiological activity, but is subject to serious physiological disorders, water loss and fungal deterioration during postharvest handling. Stem browning and gray mold infection caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea are the two main factors which reduce table grape postharvest quality. Recently, biologically active natural products have started to become an effective alternative to synthetic fungicides in maintaining fruit quality during storage. Chitosan coating has been reported to enhance disease resistance against many fungal diseases, when applied as either a preharvest or postharvest treatment. Polyamines (PAs) are also biological compounds with low molecular weight that are ubiquitous in living organisms. PAs have been reported as anti‐senescence agents, the main effects in fruits being retarded color changes, increased fruit firmness, delayed ethylene and respiration rate emissions, induced mechanical resistance.

“…So far, exogenously applied polyamine has been reported to be effective for increasing fruit set and yield of apple 9,16 , pear 17,18 , litchi 51 , and olive 71 , fruit set and retention of mango 76 , and improving embryo development of grape 62 . In addition, since polyamines (especially Spd and Spm) share the same precursor, SAM, with ethylene, polyamines have demonstrated their functions for delaying maturing and ripening in apricot 55 and grape 62 , inhibiting abscission and reduced fruit drop 5,55 , delaying flesh softening or increasing firmness in peach 10 , strawberry 61 and nectarine 83 . However, it should be noted that the effect is pertinent to the polyamine type, time of application and concentration 5,10,83 .…”

“…In this regard, it is proposed that they have different effects on regulation of fruit ripening, ethylene being stimulatory and polyamine inhibitory. Therefore, it is possible to regulate and control ethylene evolution by exogenous application of polyamine, which has been tried in apple 1 , peach 10 , litchi 32 , apricot 49,55 , plum 59 , Tradescantia 79 , nectarine 83 , and avocado 91 . Exogenous application of polyamine delayed softening of peach 10 and apple 37 fruits on the tree as well.…”

Polyamines, including putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm), are polycationic compounds of low molecular weight that are widely distributed in living organisms. They are implicated in a variety of plant processes, such as floral and fruit development. In addition, correlation between polyamines and flower gender or fertility is reported in some plant species. Since polyamines, especially Spd and Spm share a common precursor, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), with ethylene, they demonstrated competitive effects on functions in fruit development and ripening in many plants. Exogenous polyamines have been employed to regulate floral and fruit development and ripening in a lot of plants. Besides, polyamines have shown their potential for postharvest fruit management. Therefore, in this review, we focused on the involvement of polyamines in floral and fruit development along with perspectives of polyamine research.

“…The transgenic manipulation of the metabolism of PA in poplar has become a valuable tool for studying their physiological role in ligneous plants (Bhatnagar et al, 2001(Bhatnagar et al, , 2002. In other research, the application of PA inhibited ethylene production in a variety of fruits including apricot or peach (Paksasorn et al, 1995;Bregoli et al, 2002).…”
