“…Choudhary et al [2012] found that 3-and 3.5-fold increase in total phenolics were observed in BRtreated Raphanus sativus seedlings subjected to Cu stress compared with Cu stress alone. The increase in total phenolics compounds, and antioxidant activity reported in the present study are also consistent with reports in peach [Liu et al 2005, Ge et al 2016, pear [Cao and Jiang 2006], muskmelon [Liu et al 2014] and mango fruit [Zhu et al 2008].…”

“…Also, Wu and Yang [2016] showed that the asparagus spears treated with brassinolide had a significantly lower weight loss during storage. Epibrassinolide declined fruit weight loss by retarding the respiration rate and physiological metabolisms during postharvest life of peach and jujube fruit [Zhu et al 2010, Ge et al 2016. Harindra Champa et al [2015] recognized that in the grape cold storage, EBR-treated clusters resulted in a significantly lower weight loss, which was attributed to the respiration of cluster stem.…”

“…Zhu et al [2015] revealed that brassinolide treatment could delay the decrease of titratable acidity. It has been also shown that BR treated jujube and peach fruit had a significantly higher level of TA during storage compared to control fruit [Zhu et al 2010, Ge et al 2016. Reduced TA and organic acids in untreated sweet cherry fruit, because of the increase in respiration would be due to the ethylene production and fruit senescence [Ahmadipoor Raghoghabadi and Pakkish 2014].…”

Effects of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) treatments on chlorophyll (Chl) degradation and postharvest quality of two lime ('Persian lime' and 'Tahiti') cultivars during chilling-induced storage were studied in this work. EBR at 0, 2.5, 5 and 10 µM were applied to fruit by vacuum infiltration at 30.63 kPa for 7 min and afterward stored at 4°C for 60 days. Postharvest EBR application effectively maintained greater fruit firmness and lessened weight loss during cold storage. The results displayed that EBR treatments efficiently delayed the reduction of the Chl a contents and hue values. EBR treatments significantly increased ascorbic acid content, total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and titratable acidity (TA). On the other hand, the treatments reduced soluble solids concentration (SSC), pH, and SSC/TA ratios during cold storage. Overall, EBR application by vacuum infiltration could be an effective and simple method for maintaining postharvest quality of limes during cold storage.

“…Methyl jasmonate, also causes accumulation of plant defensive proteins against pathogens in some cases (Wang et al, 2003). Ge et al (2015) reported that Peach treatments with brassinolide, due to its effect on increasing resistance proteins such as superoxide dismutase and peroxidase enzymes, reduced the decay caused by the P. expansum Link which is consistent with the findings of this study. In jujube, EBR stimulated the activity of defense-related enzymes (CAT, SOD etc.)…”

Pathogenic agents are one of the causes of post-harvest citrus fruit loss. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of post-harvest treatments with jasmonic acid (ja), epibrassinolide (epiBL), chitosan (chi) and cinnamon essential oil (cin) on induction of resistance to the citrus green mold (Penicillium digitatum (Pers.) Sacc.) and reduction of fungal growth by improving the activity of some antioxidant enzymes in ‘Thomson-Navel’orange. For this purpose, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design. Treatments included positive and negative control, jasmonic acid (5, 10, 20 and 40 μl l-1), epibrassinolide (1, 4, 7 and 10 μmol l-1), chitosan (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 g l-1) and cinnamon essential oil (250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm). Characteristics such as lesion diameter and activities of antioxidant enzymes including SOD, APX, CAT and POD were evaluated for a period of 96 hours with 24 hour intervals. The results indicated that all treatments significantly decreased the lesion diameter of fruits. Consequently, chitosan treatments (7.5 and 10 g l-1) and cinnamon essential oil (750 and 1000 ppm) inhibited the spread of fungal infection better than other treatments, and therefore reduced the growth of green mold. Also, different concentrations of (ja) and (chi) increased the activity of SOD and APX enzymes, while different concentrations of (epiBR) and (cin) stimulated the activity of POD and CAT enzymes. Finally, the present study proposes using natural products as an appropriate alternative to fungicides in order to reduce the citrus green mold rot

“…In peach fruit, BR treatment reduced fruit decay caused by Penicillium expansum associated with the induction of antioxidant activity. BR also delayed fruit senescence via reducing the decrease in flesh hardness, content of soluble solids (SSC), and titratable acid (TA) in peach fruit (Ge et al, 2016). Recent work showed that eBR treatment delay apple and pear fruit ripening by suppressing ethylene biosynthesis.…”

Brassinosteroids act by delaying fruit ripening. The effects of different concentrations of 2,4-epibrassinolide (eBL) treatments on carambola fruit ripening were investigated. The results show that treatment of 2.8 mg L–1, eBL with 10 min effectively delays ripening and maintains the quality of carambola fruit. This is achieved by retarding color changes and firmness losses while maintaining high level of soluble protein content and vitamin C, and low organic acid content. eBL-delayed senescence may be due to the inhibition of respiration rate and enhanced antioxidant system. It is noteworthy that eBL treatment markedly reduces the content of fructose-6-phosphate (6-P-F) and enhances the activity of cytochrome oxidase (CCO), and the total activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and 6-phosphate gluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH). eBL treatment induces the IAA and GA contents but reduces that of ABA. In general, senescence retardation and quality improvement by eBL treatment may be due to the enhanced antioxidant capacity and altered respiratory pathways.
