“…Fruits treated with only HBR showed higher fruit firmness of the flesh and stem resistance (Engin et al, 2016 ). At the straw-yellow stage applications of “Noir de Guben” cherries with 50, 100, and 150 ppm benzyladenine (BA) and BA combined with 12.5, 25, and 50 ppm gibberellins (GA 4+7 ) improved size and delayed skin color change (Canli et al, 2015a ). BA alone or in combination with GA 4+7 improved storability by maintaining firmness during 30 days in cold storage (4°C) (Canli et al, 2015b ).…”

Sweet cherries are attractive fruits due to their taste, color, nutritional value, and beneficial health effects. Sweet cherry is a highly perishable fruit and all quality attributes and the level of health promoting compounds are affected by growth conditions, picking, packing, transport, and storage. During production, the correct combination of scion × rootstock will produce fruits with higher firmness, weight, sugars, vitamins, and phenolic compounds that boost the fruit antioxidant activity. Orchard management, such as applying drip irrigation and summer pruning, will increase fruit sugar levels and total phenolic content, while application of growth regulators can result in improved storability, increased red coloring, increased fruit size, and reduced cracking. Salicylic acid, oxalic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, and methyl salicylate are promising growth regulators as they also increase total phenolics, anthocyanins, and induce higher activity of antioxidant enzymes. These growth regulators are now also applied as fruit coatings that improve shelf-life with higher antioxidant enzyme activities and total phenolics. Optimizing storage and transport conditions, such as hydro cooling with added CaCl2, chain temperature and relative humidity control, are crucial for slowing down decay of quality attributes and increasing the antioxidant capacity. Application of controlled atmosphere during storage is successful in delaying quality attributes, but lowers ascorbic acid levels. The combination of low temperature storage in combination with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is successful in reducing the incidence of fruit decay, while preserving taste attributes and stem color with a higher antioxidant capacity. A new trend in MAP is the use of biodegradable films such as micro-perforated polylactic acid film that combine significant retention of quality attributes, high consumer acceptability, and a reduced environmental footprint. Another trend is to replace MAP with fruit edible coatings. Edible coatings, such as various lipid composite coatings, have advantages in retaining quality attributes and increasing the antioxidant activity (chitosan) and are regarded as approved food additives, although studies regarding consumer acceptance are needed. The recent publication of the sweet cherry genome will likely increase the identification of more candidate genes involved in growing and maintaining health related compounds and quality attributes.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of cytokinin (BAP) and gibberellin (GA3) applications on the growth, physicochemical characteristics and production of ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango fruits. Mango plants were sprayed with five concentrations (0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 mg.L-1) of BAP and GA3 and BAP + GA3 (0, 75 + 75, 150 + 150, 225 + 225 and 300 + 300 mg.L-1) at 15, 30 and 45 days after anthesis (DAA), single applications of GA3 occurred at 60, 70 and 80 DAA. Fruits were evaluated weekly from 52 DAA for weight, diameter and length until harvest and characterized for soluble solids content and acidity. A higher peak of fruit growth occurred between 66 and 73 DAA. Application of 150 + 150 mg.L-1 (BAP + GA3) promoted at the end of the evaluation period higher fruit weight compared to the other treatments and the control. No significant differences were observed in fruit production, but also concentrations of 150 + 150 mg.L-1 BAP + GA3 led to more than 50% of fruits in the marketing standard type 8. Exogenous application of 150 + 150 mg.L-1 (BAP + GA3) at 15, 30 and 45 DAA increased the weight, diameter, length, acidity and the percentage of fruits type 8 of ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango, but it did not increase yield.

“…In addition to Serrano et al (2005) and Usenik et al (2008) reported that p-coumaroylquinic acid was principal phenolic on sweet cherry. Pre-harvest GA3 application has a significant effect on fruit quality of sweet cherry (Basak et al, 1998;Clayton et al, 2003;Lenahan et al, 2008;Zhang and Whiting, 2011;Einhorn et al, 2013;Canli et al, 2015). In the study, it was found that the application of GA3, which is applied before harvest, generally increases the content of individual phenolics in fruit.…”

“…Gibberellic acid (GA3), which plays significant role in breaking seed dormancy, promoting flower bud differentiation and stem elongation, and delaying the senescence of plant organs (Achard et al, 2009;Sun, 2010;Zaho et al, 2018), , has been used in commercial horticultural cultivation as a plant growth regulator to improve fruit size and quality (Khalil and Aly, 2013;Zang et al, 2016;Gundogdu et al, 2017), to delay ripening and to maintain fruit quality of postharvest crops (Steffens et al, 2011;Huang et al, 2014;Souza et al, 2016;Zaho et al, 2018). Basak et al (1998), Clayton et al (2003), Lenahan et al (2008), Zhang and Whiting (2011) Einhorn et al (2013) and Canli et al (2015), have reported that pre-harvest GA3 application has a significant effect on quality of sweet cherry fruit. GA3 have a significant effect on fruit coloration and anthocyanin synthesis capacity, and normal phenolic metabolism on sweet cherry (Li et al, 2019).…”

The fruit of sweet cherry are more sensitive against external factors than many fruit species so post harvest quality loss on sweet cherry is quite higher. For this reason, it is very significant to reduce the postharvest losses and to extend the storage period in sweet cherry, and this is one of the main objectives for producers and consumers. The aim of the study was to determine the effects of GA3, CaCl2 and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) applications on individual phenolics compounds in postharvest storage on sweet cherry. In the study, GA3 was applied at 30 mg L-1 concentration when fruit skin was yellow-straw, and CaCl2 was applied at 0.5% concentration 20 and 10 days before the estimated harvest date. The study consisted of 4 different spray (Control (water only), GA3, CaCl2, GA3+ CaCl2) and 2 packaging aplications (without and with MAP). MAP was applied to the fruit after the harvest. In our study, individual phenolics such as catechin, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, epicatechin, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid and protocatechuic acid were determined. It has been determined that pre-harvested GA3, and CaCl2 applications have increased the content of individual phenolics in fruit. The concentration of individual phenolics generally decreased with increasing cold storage time, whereas epicatechin and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid concentrations increased. 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and caffeic acid concentrations were higher CaCl2, and GA3 treatments than in control in all measured period. The MAP application had a positive effect on the losses of other phenolic compounds except catechin during cold storage.
