“…Spm or Spd treatment retarded softening of apple 37 and strawberry fruits 61 . Exogenously applied Put resulted in a reduction of mechanical damage and an increase in firmness of lemon 48 , apricot 49 and plum 59 . Polyamines added exogenously reduced or delayed browning, peroxide level and ethylene production, coupled with elevated levels of polyamines in litchi fruits stored at 5 o C 32 .…”

“…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.

“…Exogenously applied Put reduced fruit deterioration and increaseed shelf life of lemon (Citrus limon [L.] Burm. f., Martínez-Romero et al, 1999), apricot (Prunus armeniaca L., Martínez-Romero et al, 2002), sweet cherry (Prunus avium [L.] L., Bal, 2012), strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier, Khosroshahi et al, 2007), and plum (Prunus salicina Lindl., Perez-Vicente et al, 2002;Khan et al, 2008). Plums treated with 1 mM Put showed delayed and reduced ethylene production together with higher fruit firmness, lower soluble solutions and titratable acids, reduced weight loss, and delayed color change, which led to extended storage life Serrano et al, 2003).…”

“…The use of exogenous polyamines to inhibit ethylene production and delay fruit ripening has been attempted (Perez-Vicente et al, 2002;Torrigiani et al, 2004). Polyamines are thought to prevent senescence by inhibiting the formation of enzymes that are essential to ethylene synthesis (Roberts et al, 1986;Ke and Romani, 1988).…”

Peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch) is a perishable product and its storage period may be extended by using different postharvest methods. For this purpose, peaches harvested at the commercial ripening stage were treated with individual and combined effects of putrescine (1 mM) and ultrasonic treatment (32 kHz for 10 min); postharvest storage quality of peach fruit was evaluated during storage at 0-1 °C for 28 d. Quality characteristics such as weight loss, fruit firmness, respiration rate, total sugar, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity, chilling injury, and decay rate were determined at the beginning and during the storage period at 1-wk intervals. The result showed that individual and combined effects of putrescine and ultrasonic treatment, when compared to control fruits, could increase peach fruit postharvest life by inducing resistance to different diseases and chilling injury with no noticeable effect on fruit quality attributes such as weight loss, total soluble solids, and total sugar. At the same time, a combined putrescine and ultrasound treatment was found to be more effective than other treatments in decreasing respiration rate and maintaining firmness and acidity. Peach storability could be extended with a combined putrescine and ultrasound treatment because it delays the ripening processes.

“…Since polyamines have been described as anti-senescence agents and a higher endogenous level of polyamines is associated with delayed fruit ripening , many attempts have recently been made to explain the role of exogenous polyamines on fruit ripening. Pre-harvest and post-harvest applications of polyamines have been demonstrated to delay the fruit ripening and extend shelf life in mango, peach, plum, apple, and tomato (Law et al, 1991;Pérez-Vicente et al, 2002;Torrigiani et al, 2004). However, controversial results on the effect of exogenous polyamines on fruit ripening have also been obtained (Wang C.Y.…”

Abstract:Objective: High temperature adversely affects quality and yield of tomato fruit. Polyamine can alleviate heat injury in plants. This study is aimed to investigate the effects of polyamine and high temperature on transcriptional profiles in ripening tomato fruit. Methods: An Affymetrix tomato microarray was used to evaluate changes in gene expression in response to exogenous spermidine (Spd, 1 mmol/L) and high temperature (33/27 °C) treatments in tomato fruits at mature green stage. Results: Of the 10 101 tomato probe sets represented on the array, 127 loci were differentially expressed in high temperature-treated fruits, compared with those under normal conditions, functionally characterized by their involvement in signal transduction, defense responses, oxidation reduction, and hormone responses. However, only 34 genes were up-regulated in Spd-treated fruits as compared with non-treated fruits, which were involved in primary metabolism, signal transduction, hormone responses, transcription factors, and stress responses. Meanwhile, 55 genes involved in energy metabolism, cell wall metabolism, and photosynthesis were down-regulated in Spd-treated fruits. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that Spd might play an important role in regulation of tomato fruit response to high temperature during ripening stage.
