“…For the autumn-winter season in 2017, aeration had a slight and positive impact on tomato fruit quality, and the increasing rate of total soluble solids, lycopene, vitamin C, soluble sugar, organic acid, and sugar-acid ratio was 4.7%, 9.4%, 5.5%, 14.3%, 8.5%, and 6.8% than the control, respectively (Table 3), which was similar to previous results [6,37]. Moreover, high irrigation level decreased tomato fruit quality compared to low irrigation level, and the difference was significant for lycopene (p < 0.05, Table 3).…”

To balance multiple objectives of high yield by farmers, high quality by customers, and high irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) for sustainable development of agriculture, a two-growing-season study was performed to test the effect of aeration at three irrigation levels (60%, 80%, and 100% of full irrigation) on crop growth, nutrient uptake, yield, IWUE, and fruit quality of tomato. The results showed that compared to the control, aeration significantly increased total dry weight at harvest, total N and K accumulation, which increased tomato yield by 23% and IWUE by 23% (p < 0.05). Yield and IWUE were significantly affected by irrigation with the increasing rate of 20.5% and 14.3% for yield, and with the decreasing rate of 27.7% and 8.6% for IWUE under 100% of full irrigation than that under 60% and 80% of full irrigation, respectively. Aeration positively impacted fruit quality while irrigation had a negative impact (p > 0.05). Based on these indicators, full irrigation with aeration could be an appropriate schedule for greenhouse tomato cultivations by the entropy evaluation method with the comprehensive score of 0.879 and 0.77 for the spring-summer and autumn-winter season, respectively. The result is of great significance to the farmers’ or researchers’ management of aerated irrigation in greenhouse tomatoes.

“…Upon harvesting, three fruits per treatment were sampled for measurements among the marked fruits. After weighing, the fruit sample was measured for longitudinal and transverse diameter (cm) using a Vernier calliper (Li et al ., ). The fruit shape index was analysed by longitudinal/transverse diameter.…”

SummaryFruit ripening and quality are common botanical phenomena that are closely linked and strictly regulated by transcription factors. It was previously discovered that a banana MADS‐box protein named MuMADS1 interacted with an ovate family protein named MaOFP1 to regulate banana fruit ripening. To further investigate the role of MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 in the regulation of fruit quality, a combination of genetic transformation and transcriptional characterization was used. The results indicated that the co‐expression of MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 in the ovate mutant could compensate for fruit shape and inferior qualities relating to fruit firmness, soluble solids and sugar content. The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was 1395 in WT vs. ovate, with 883 up‐regulated and 512 down‐regulated genes, while the numbers of DEGs gradually decreased with the transformation of MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 into ovate. ‘Starch and sucrose metabolism’ constituted the primary metabolic pathway, and the gene numbers in this pathway were obviously different when MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 were integrated into ovate. A series of metabolic genes involved in cell wall biosynthesis were up‐regulated in the WT vs. ovate, which probably resulted in the firmer texture and lower sugar contents in the ovate fruit. These results demonstrate that MuMADS1 and MaOFP1 are coregulators of fruit quality, facilitating the dissection of the molecular mechanisms underlying fruit quality formation.

“…Recent report on oxygenation irrigation experiments confirmed that using of oxygenated SDI water could increase crop yields, water use efficiency and salinity tolerance, the effect was more significant on heavy clay soils (Abuarab et al, 2013;Bhattarai et al, 2006Bhattarai et al, , 2008Ityel et al, 2014). Li et al (2016b) showed that soil aeration enhanced greenhouse tomato plant growth, yield fruit shape, and nutritional quality. Research on capsicum showed that increased oxygen concentration in the root zone by 5% by allowing roots to penetrate into the capillary barrier gravel layer and improved biomass and fruit yield by 16% and 18%, respectively (Ityel et al, 2014).…”

Aeration through subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) can promote plant growth and increase crop yield; however, more research is focused on annual crops, and there are few studies on perennial crops. We have studied a new type of SDI (SDI with tanks) suitable for cultivation and production of perennial fruit trees and photovoltaic aeration device in greenhouse. The results showed that aeration irrigation promoted the growth of new leaves, fine roots, and new branches of grape, regulated O 2 /CO 2 content in rhizosphere soil, and accelerated air exchange in rhizosphere soil. This study showed that aeration irrigation did not change the structure of bacteria and fungi but significantly increased the abundance of aerobic bacteria, such as Nitrospira and Cytophagia. Moreover, it promoted the increase of Pseudomonas and Aspergillus related to phosphate solubilization, that of Bacillus related to potassium solubilization, and that of Fusarium related to organic matter (OM) decomposition. This study shows that aeration irrigation through SDI with tanks can promote grape growth, which may be related to the ability of aeration irrigation to change the gas composition of rhizosphere soil, optimize the structure of rhizosphere soil microorganism.
