“…1E). Likewise, lemon basil (Ocimum × citriodorum) and holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) leaves sprayed preharvest with 5mM salicylic acid, a growth regulator involved in biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, and stored at 7 °C for 4 or 8 days displayed more greenness (−a*) and higher chroma levels than the untreated control (Supapvanich et al 2015;Suamuang et al 2016).…”

Postharvest chilling injury is a physiological disorder detrimental to produce quality and shelf-life. Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is susceptible to postharvest chilling injury at temperatures below 12 °C, manifesting as leaf lesions and discoloration. Melatonin, a growth regulator, has reduced postharvest chilling injury severity in produce, but its effect on basil is unknown. Here, we evaluated the impact of an exogenous preharvest melatonin application at 400 μM on basil leaves stored at 3.5 °C for 12 days. Visual parameters, including objective color descriptors, chilling injury index, and damaged surface area, as well as biochemical (total soluble solids, malondialdehyde, and total polyphenol content) and physiological (electrolyte leakage and fresh weight loss) markers for cold stress, were assessed. Melatonin-treated leaves showed reduced symptoms (15–22%) relative to the untreated control after cold storage. The biochemical and physiological parameters displayed subtle changes between treatments after storage. However, melatonin induced alterations before storage (70–90%), suggesting it acted as a stressor.

“…Salicylic acid (SA), an endogenous plant hormone, plays a vital role in growth, photosynthetic activity, and pigment content and has crucial physiological and biological roles in normal and stressed plants' metabolism [3][4][5][6]. SA application improves CI tolerance in many fruit tree species, including apple [7], apricot [8], banana [9], citrus [10], guava [11], kiwifruit [12], loquat [13], mango [14], peach [15], cactus pear [16], plum [17], and pomegranate [18,19]. The vast majority of SA applications has the goal to alleviate CI to fruits during cold storage, and SA use to ease CI on fruit trees is very limited.…”

The Role of Salicylic Acid in Mitigating the Adverse Effects of Chilling Stress on “Seddik” Mango Transplants

Salicylic acid (SA) was sprayed on “Seddik” mango transplants at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mM. Then, the mango transplants were subjected to 72 h of chilling stress at 4 ± 1 °C, followed by a six-day recovery under greenhouse conditions. Untreated transplants exposed to chilling stress represented the positive control, while those not exposed were the negative control. SA-pretreated mango transplants were compared to the positive and negative controls, evaluating physiological and biochemical changes. The SA concentration of 1.5 mM L−1 was the most efficient in mitigating chilling injury (CI) in mango transplants by maintaining the integrity of the leaves’ cell membrane and minimizing electrolyte leakage (EL), specifically after six days of recovery. SA increased photosynthetic pigment content, total sugar content, and 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and decreased proline and total phenolic content in the “Seddik” mango transplants’ leaves. After exposure to chilling stress, the antioxidant enzymes’ internal activities in SA-pretreated chilled mango transplants improved, especially on the sixth day of recovery, compared to the negative control; the transplants nearly attained normal growth levels. Thus, SA can protect plants against the adverse effects of chilling stress.

“…Cao et al (2009) and Zhang et al (2015) reported that the loss of skin chlorophyll in cucumber fruit was delayed by SA treatment. Furthermore, exogenous SA application maintaining total chlorophyll concentration had been reported for kiwi fruit (Bal and Celik, 2010), asparagus (Wei et al, 2011) and lemon basil (Supapvanich et al, 2015).

“…Many previous works had reported beneficial effects of exogenous SA application on fruit and vegetables. SA could delay ripening process (Srivastava and Dwivedi, 2000), maintain firmness (Promyou and Supapvanich, 2016,), reduce the loss of chlorophyll content (Wei et al, 2011, Supapvanich et al, 2015, alleviate chilling injury (Yang et al, 2012), induce pathogenic resistance (Asghari and Aghdam, 2010) and improve nutritional value by enhancing bioactive compounds and antioxidants (Supapvanich and Promyou, 2013;Asghari and Aghdam, 2010). Thus, SA application might be an effective alternative improving postharvest storability and maintaining quality of guava fruit.…”

The aims of this work were to investigate the effect of salicylic acid (SA) immersion on the physicochemical quality maintenance and biologically active compounds enhancement of ’Kimju’ guava. The fruit were immersed in water (control) and 2 mM SA solution and stored at 12 ± 1 ºC, 90±2% RH. The observed factors were pigments, total sugars, total soluble solids (TSS), total acidity (TA), firmness and pectin components, bioactive compounds such as ascorbic acid (AsA), total phenols (TP), total flavonoids (TF) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes including peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT). The total chlorophylls chlorophyll a and b contents of the treated fruit were higher than those of the control. The SA immersion did not affect the total carotenoids concentration and TSS whilst it delayed the increase in total sugars and lowered TA content. The fruit softening was delayed by the SA immersion due to the control of soluble pectin increase and insoluble pectin decrease. The antioxidant activity and the concentrations of AsA, TP and TF were enhanced by the SA immersion. The SA immersion also stimulated POD activity but did not induced CAT activity. In conclusion, 2.0 mM SA immersion is an effective postharvest treatment maintaining quality and improving nutritional values of ‘Kimju’ guava.
