“…β-glucosidase ( bglX ) was up-regulated to promote glucose accumulation. On the other hand, glgC and glgA genes involved in starch synthesis were down-regulated, while the AMY gene related to starch degradation was up-regulated in expression, potentially facilitating the breakdown of starch to glucose [ 61 ]. However, the expression of β-amylase and treA (associated with starch degradation) was up-regulated in FY fruits.…”

Adequate yield and fruit quality are required in commercial plum production. The pollen source has been shown to influence fruit set and fruit characteristics. In this study, ‘Siyueli’, ‘Fenghuangli’and ‘Yinhongli’ were used as pollinizers of ‘Fengtangli’ plum. Additionally, self-pollination, mixed pollination, and open pollination were performed. We characterized the differences in pollen tube growth, fruit set and fruit quality among pollination combinations. ‘Fengtangli’ flowers pollinated by ‘Fenghuangli’ had more pistils with pollen tubes penetrating the ovary and the highest fruit set rate, while the lowest fruit set rate was obtained from self-pollination. In self-pollinated flowers, 33% of pistils had at least one pollen tube reaching the ovary, implying that ‘Fengtangli’ is partially self-compatible. Pollen sources affected ‘Fengtangli’ fruit size, weight, pulp thickness, soluble solids, and sugar content. Transcriptome analysis of ‘Siyueli’-pollinated and ‘Yinhongli’-pollinated fruits revealed 2762 and 1018 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in the response to different pollen sources. DEGs were enriched in plant hormone signal transduction, starch and sucrose metabolism, and MAPK signaling pathways. Our findings provide a reference for the selection of suitable pollinizers for ‘Fengtangli’ plum and promote future research on the metaxenia effect at the molecular level.

“…Enzymes such as pectinesterase (PE; EC 3.1.11) and polygalacturonase (PG; EC 3.2.1.6.9) and related factors directly participate in fruit cell wall degradation ( Deytieux-Belleau et al., 2008 ). Zhang et al. (2021) demonstrated that cold storage can delay the softening of melon fruit by regulating the transcript abundance of PE and PG genes.…”

“…Cold storage is a widely used postharvest technology to maintain the quality and prolong the shelf life of fruit and vegetables. Although cold storage slows the decline in melon firmness, the fruit taste, especially sweetness, is negatively affected by long-term cold storage ( Wang et al., 2020 ; Zhang et al., 2021 ). Furthermore, Hami melon, a cold-sensitive fruit, is susceptible to chilling injury when stored at low temperatures.…”

“…Typical symptoms of chilling injury in Hami melons include discoloration, surface pitting, brown spots, and decay development ( Bi et al., 2003 ; Fogelman et al., 2011 ). The development of chilling injury seriously reduces melon quality such as appearance, texture, flavor and nutrition ( Zhang et al., 2017 ; Zhang et al., 2021 ). Therefore, novel practical methods alleviating chilling injury in melon are urgently needed.…”

“…Starch and sucrose metabolism not only affect fruit quality and sweetness but also are closely related to chilling tolerance during cold storage ( Yu et al., 2017 ; Zhang et al., 2021 ). Sucrose, apart from being an energy source, also functions as an osmoregulator, cryoprotectant, reactive oxygen scavenger, and signaling molecule, contributing to cell membrane balance and antioxidant systems ( Wang et al., 2019 ).…”

Cold-stored Hami melon is susceptible to chilling injury, resulting in quality deterioration and reduced sales. Pre-storage treatment with chitosan reduces fruit softening and chilling injury in melon; however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, Gold Queen Hami melons were treated with 1.5% chitosan solution for 10 min before cold storage at 3°C and then the effect of chitosan was examined on fruit firmness, weight loss, chilling injury, soluble solid content (SSC), pectin, and soluble sugar contents of melon fruit. Also, the enzyme activities and gene expressions related to fruit softening and starch and sucrose metabolism were investigated. Chitosan treatment reduced the fruit softening and chilling injury, maintained the high levels of starch and sucrose contents, and regulated the enzyme activities and gene expressions related to starch and sucrose metabolism. Fruit firmness was significantly positively correlated with sucrose and starch contents. Altogether, we uncovered the potential mechanism of chitosan coating mitigating melon softening and chilling injury through the regulation of starch and sucrose metabolism.
