“…The appearance and color of banana peel are the major factors that determine the changes in visual quality ( Chen et al, 2022 ). The color of banana peel generally turns brown under chilling stress due to the degradation of Chl contents and the accumulation of brown pigments such as soluble quinones ( Pongprasert et al, 2011 ; Tian et al, 2022 ). The peel Chl contents degrade probably owing to the increased activity of chlorophyll catabolism-associated enzymes ( Pongprasert et al, 2011 ) and oxidation of phenolics under the action of PPO and POD ( Nguyen et al, 2003 ; Kim et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Furthermore, the application of GABA efficiently reduced the overproduction of ROS, along with noticeably higher APX, CAT, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme activity. In the same way, exogenous application of progesterone ( Hao et al, 2019 ), melatonin ( Wang et al, 2021 ), glycine betaine ( Chen et al, 2021 ), astragalus polysaccharides ( Tian et al, 2022 ), phytosulfokine α ( Wang et al, 2022 ), and ethylene ( Zhou et al, 2022 ) have also been used for CI amelioration in banana fruits. However, some potential anti-chilling agents are needed for the mitigation of CI in low-temperature stored bananas.…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of hydrogen sulfide on chilling injury (CI) of banana (Musa spp.) during cold storage (7°C). It was observed that hydrogen sulfide application (2 mmol L–1) markedly reduced the CI index and showed significantly higher chlorophyll contents, along with suppressed chlorophyll peroxidase and chlorophyllase enzyme activity. The treated banana fruits exhibited substantially higher peel lightness (L*), along with significantly a lower browning degree and soluble quinone content. The treated bananas had substantially a higher endogenous hydrogen sulfide content and higher activity of its biosynthesis-associated enzymes such as D-cysteine desulfhydrase (DCD) and L-cysteine desulfhydrase (LCD), along with significantly lower ion leakage, lipid peroxidation, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide anion concentrations. Hydrogen sulfide-treated banana fruits showed an increased proline content and proline metabolism-associated enzymes including ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS), and proline dehydrogenase (PDH). In the same way, hydrogen sulfide-fumigated banana fruits accumulated higher endogenous γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) due to enhanced activity of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and GABA transaminase (GABA-T) enzymes. The hydrogen sulfide-treated fruits exhibited higher total phenolics owing to lower polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activity and stimulated phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). The treated banana exhibited higher ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, along with higher glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid (AsA) concentrations and a significantly lower dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) content. In conclusion, hydrogen sulfide treatment could be utilized for CI alleviation of banana fruits during cold storage.

“…The phase change of membrane lipid will increase the permeability of cell membrane, and make the molecule of membrane binding enzyme likely to be compressed and its activity will be reduced, even the conformation will change, which will lead to its failure to perform normal physiological functions, and finally cause physiological metabolism disorder ( Hou et al, 2022 ). Under low temperature, the normal function of mitochondria is damaged due to the phase change of membrane lipid, resulting in the shortage of ATP in cells, the inability to synthesize proteins, and the inability to actively absorb ions, which leads to the decomposition of certain proteins and the leakage of cell ions ( Yan et al, 2022 , Tian et al, 2022 , Wang et al, 2022 ). After membrane lipid phase transition, aerobic respiration is inhibited and anaerobic respiration is enhanced.…”

“…Loss of membrane integrity due to low-temperature-induced membrane lipid phase transitions and physiological dysfunctions are the fundamental biochemical causes of CI (Bhattacharya and Bhattacharya, 2022). The high concentration of high melting phospholipids, membrane retailoring, increased fluidity at low temperatures, direct or indirect impact on intrinsic enzymes due to membrane perturbations, and redistribution of cellular Ca (which acts as a secondary messenger of many cellular functions) may also be considered as primary transducer of CI (Parkin et al, 1989;Chen and Ko, 2021;Tian et al, 2022;Olmedo et al, 2023). Maintenance of membrane integrity enables the electron transport chain system and oxidative phosphorylation to produce ATP and supports the normal functioning of pathways like TCA cycle, glycolysis, b-oxidation, etc (Parkin et al, 1989;Darras, 2020), but disruption of membrane structure impacts the entire physiology.…”

Aesthetic attributes and easy-to-grow nature of tropical cut flowers (TCFs) have contributedto their potential for increased production. The dearth of information regarding agronomic practices and lack of planting materials are the key hindrances against their fast expansion. Unconventional high-temperature storage requirements and the anatomy of the peduncle contribute topoor vase life performance, while troublesome packaging and transport due to unusual size and structureprimarily cause post-harvest quality deterioration. Nonetheless, the exotic floral structuresconsequently increase market demand, particularly in temperate countries. This boosts studies aimed at overcoming post-harvest hindrances. While a few TCFs (Anthurium, Strelitzia, Alpinia, and a few orchids) are under the spotlight, many others remain behind the veil. Heliconia, an emerging specialty TCF (False Bird-of-Paradise, family Heliconiaceae), is one of them. The structural uniquenessand dazzling hues of Heliconia genotypes facilitate shifting its position from the back to the forefrontof the world floriculture trade. The unsatisfactory state-of-the-art of Heliconia research and the absence of any review exclusively on it are the key impetus for structuring this review. In addition to the aforementioned setbacks, impaired water uptake capacity after harvest, high chilling sensitivity, and the proneness of xylem ducts to microbial occlusion may be counted as a few additional factors that hinder its commercialization. This review demonstrates the state-of-the-art of post-harvest research while also conceptualizing the implementation of advanced biotechnological aid to alleviate the challenges, primarily focusing on Heliconia (the model crop here) along with some relevant literature on its other allied members. Standard harvesting indices, grading, and packaging are also part of the entire post-harvest operational chain, but since these phases are barely considered in Heliconia and the majority of tropical ornamentals except a few, a comprehensive account of these aspects has also been given. The hypothesized cues to nip chilling injury, resorting to different bio-chemical treatments, nano-based technology, and advanced packaging techniques, may help overcome preservation difficulties and propel its transition from niche to the commercial flower market. In a nutshell, readers will gain a comprehensive overview of how optimum post-harvest handling practices can rewardingly characterize this unique group of TCFs as the most remunerative component.
