“…Because the functions of blueberry component have made it to be accepted by an increasing number of people as “super fruits” [ 6 ], global blueberry production has greatly grown 35% from 2004 to 2016 [ 7 ]. However, because of respiration, evaporation, pathogen infection and cell wall degradation, the blueberry fruits have a characteristic of high perishability [ 8 ]. How to maintain the quality of flesh blueberry fruit is an urgent problem.…”

“…Major thrusts of research on the blueberry fruit softening are in two ways. One is on the mechanism of fruit softening related to cell wall structure and some hydrolytic enzyme [ 9 , 10 ], the other one is to extend shelf life by external treatment like cold stage [ 11 ], high oxygen treatment [ 12 ], cuticular wax preservation [ 13 ], ethylene absorbent treatment [ 14 ], sodium nitroprusside treatment [ 15 ] and acibenzolar-S-methyl treatment [ 8 ]. The main theory of sodium nitroprusside treatment and acibenzolar-S-methyl treatment is to improve the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and CoA ligase (4CL) in lignin metabolism pathway and Peroxidase (POD) to catalyze the polymerization of precursors of phenolic substances into lignin phenols, so as to make the fruit lignified, strengthen the host cell wall and inhibit pathogen growth [ 16 ].…”

Background Caffeic acid O-methyltransferases (COMTs) play an important role in the diversification of natural products, especially in the phenylalanine metabolic pathway of plant. The content of COMT genes in blueberry and relationship between their expression patterns and the lignin content during fruit development have not clearly investigated by now. Results Ninety-two VcCOMTs were identified in Vaccinium corymbosum. According to phylogenetic analyses, the 92 VcCOMTs were divided into 2 groups. The gene structure and conserved motifs within groups were similar which supported the reliability of the phylogenetic structure groupings. Dispersed duplication (DSD) and whole-genome duplication (WGD) were determined to be the major forces in VcCOMTs evolution. The results showed that the results of qRT-PCR and lignin content for 22 VcCOMTs, VcCOMT40 and VcCOMT92 were related to lignin content at different stages of fruit development of blueberry. Conclusion We identified COMT gene family in blueberry, and performed comparative analyses of the phylogenetic relationships in the 15 species of land plant, and gene duplication patterns of COMT genes in 5 of the 15 species. We found 2 VcCOMTs were highly expressed and their relative contents were similar to the variation trend of lignin content during the development of blueberry fruit. These results provide a clue for further study on the roles of VcCOMTs in the development of blueberry fruit and could promisingly be foundations for breeding blueberry clutivals with higher fruit firmness and longer shelf life.

“… Rasool et al (2013) suggested that the AsA–GSH cycle comprises antioxidant enzymes and compounds, including SOD, catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), GSH reductase (GR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), AsA, and GSH. Research has demonstrated that increasing the activity and gene expression of enzymes involved in ROS metabolism increases the antioxidant capacity of blueberry ( Ge et al, 2019b ) and pear ( Li et al, 2020a ) fruit after harvest.…”

“…Many major antibacterial substances, such as lignin, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds are directly or indirectly generated by the phenylpropanoid pathway ( Ge et al, 2012 ). The buildup of phenylpropanoid pathway products can boost the antioxidant potential of muskmelons and blueberries ( Liu et al, 2014 ; Ge et al, 2015 , 2019b ). The effects of BTH treatment on the antioxidant capacity and phenylpropanoid pathway of R. roxburghii remain unclear.…”

Rosa roxburghii fruit were used as research objects to study the effects of different concentrations of benzothiazole (BTH) treatment on quality parameters, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, and the phenylpropanoid pathway during storage at 4°C for 14days. Results showed that BTH effectively delayed senescence with lower decay incidence, weight loss, and lipid peroxidation level and maintained the quality with higher contents of total soluble solid (TSS) content, titratable acidity (TA) in R. roxburghii fruit. Moreover, BTH increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content, superoxide anion (O2•−) production rate, and the activities and expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione (GSH) reductase (GR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and peroxidase (POD), and the contents of GSH and ascorbic acid (AsA), but reduced the oxidized GSH (GSSG) content. In addition, the activities and gene expression of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H), and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) and the concentrations of flavonoids, total phenols, and lignin were significantly elevated by BTH. These findings imply that BTH can delay senescence and maintain the quality of R. roxburghii fruit by modulating ROS metabolism and the phenylpropanoid pathway under low-temperature conditions.

“…In the search for forms of control of the phytopathogen, concomitantly with reduced use of agrochemicals and environmental problems, in addition to increasing food safety, the use of chemical products that demonstrate the capacity to induce the expression of systemic resistance acquired in the vegetable has gained evidence (AKKÖPRÜ, 2020). Among these products, acibenzolar-S-methyl is outstanding, because it does not have direct antimicrobial action, it interferes in the physiological and/or biochemical processes of the plants, activating the systemic resistance without any alteration in the genome of the plant (GE et al, 2019).…”

The resistance induction becomes an alternative to control microorganisms that attacks like plants. Little is known about the dose and its effect on the enzymatic activities associated with the induction of resistance of pepper plants under anthracnose attack. The objective of this study was to evaluate the severity and to estimate the enzymatic activity of Arcade F1 hybrid peppers infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and submitted to different doses of the abiotic acibenzolar-S-methyl inducer. The experimental design was completely randomized blocks with five treatments, four doses of acibenzolar-S-methyl (0.15, 0.30, 0.45 and 0.60 g.L-1), and the control with distilled water only. The evaluation of leaf severity and collection for enzymatic activity of β-1,3-glucanase, catalase, peroxidase, polyphenoloxidase and ascorbate peroxidase were performed on the 4th, 8th and 12th day after inoculation of the phytopathogen. The application of acibenzolar-S-methyl provided a reduction in anthracnose severity, with an increase in all the enzymatic activities evaluated, but there was no prevalence of a specific dose. However, all doses of the evaluated inducers were able to delay the development of the phytopathogen with elevated activity of one or more antioxidant enzyme. KEYWORDS: Antioxidant enzymes, phytopathogenic fungus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.
