“…However, the effects of the three treatments on each kind of flavonoid and the same treatment on different flavonoids were not consistent. It is reported that the application of benzoic acid [ 14 ], chlorine dioxide [ 38 ] and 1-MCP [ 52 ] could increase the total flavonoids contents in some crops. After 20 d of storage, the concentration of hesperetin in the chlorine dioxide treatment was higher than that in the control, while the concentration of hesperetin in benzoic acid and 1-MCP treatments was lower than that in the control, and the concentration of hesperetin in the benzoic acid treatment was the lowest.…”

“…This finding was in agreement with other reports showing that treatment with chlorine dioxide enhanced the postharvest synthesis of flavonoids and nonflavonoids, an effect opposite to that of 1-MCP [ 38 ]. Chlorine dioxide might delay the degradation of flavonoids by increasing the activity of the PAL and promoting the metabolism of phenylpropane, while 1-MCP might present the opposite [ 38 , 52 , 53 ].…”

Flowering Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen et Lee) is one of the most popular vegetables in China. However, the loss of the functional ingredients in postharvest flowering Chinese cabbage during storage is still serious, owing to the unclear causes of the metabolic shifts. Herein, benzoic acid, chlorine dioxide, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) could maintain the quality of postharvest flowering Chinese cabbage, and 1-MCP showed the best effect. Furthermore, transcript-metabolite profiling of the treatments revealed a transcript-metabolite correlation network of the flavonoid biosynthesis pathways with a range of 3 to 3662 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and a range of 23 to 37 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs). Surprisingly, 1-MCP had the best effect on shelf life among the treatments, although chlorine dioxide could stimulate the expression of four critical differential genes (Bra007142, Bra008792, Bra009358, and Bra027457) involved in delaying flavonoid degradation (hesperetin, chalcone, rutin, baicalein). As a result, our findings will help to improve our understanding of the regulation of flavonoid production in relation to the quality of postharvest flowering Chinese cabbage during storage.

“…Moreover, sweet potato decays easily during storage due to its high water content ( Sugri et al, 2017 ). Even at appropriate storage temperatures, crops still undergo deteriorative changes resulting from the activity of internal factors, such as ROS, a key contributor to postharvest senescence ( Wang et al, 2019 ; Guo et al, 2021 ). ROS can be produced in plants during many metabolic reactions, but particularly in chloroplasts and mitochondria during senescence.…”

Sweet potato decays easily due to its high respiration rate and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation during postharvest storage. In this study, we explored the relationship between antioxidant capacity in leaves and storage properties in different sweet potato cultivars, the tuberous roots of 10 sweet potato cultivars were used as the experimental materials to analyze the storage property during storage at 11–15°C. According to the decay percentage after 290 days of storage, Xu 32 was defined as a storage-tolerant cultivar (rot percentage less than 25%); Xu 55-2, Z 15-1, Shangshu 19, Yushu, and Zhezi 3 as above-moderate storage-tolerant cultivars (rot percentage ranging from 25 to 50%); Sushu 16, Yanshu 5, and Hanzi as medium-storable cultivars (rot percentage 50–75%); and Yan 25 as a storage-sensitive cultivar (rot percentage greater than 75%). Meanwhile, analysis of the α-amylase activity in root tubers of the 10 sweet potato cultivars during storage indicated that α-amylase activity was lowest in the storage-tolerant cultivar Xu 32 and highest in the storage-sensitive cultivar Yan 25. Evaluation of antioxidant enzyme activities and ROS content in the leaves of these 10 cultivars demonstrated that cultivar Xu 32, which showed the best storage property, had higher antioxidant enzyme activity [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and peroxidase (POD)] but lower lipoxygenase (LOX) activity, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, and superoxide anion radical (O2⋅–) production rates compared with those of the storage-sensitive cultivar Yan 25 and the medium-storability cultivars Hanzi, Yanshu 5, and Sushu 16. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that sweet potato cultivars with different storage properties were clustered separately. Correlation and heat map analysis further indicated that CAT, APX, POD, and SOD activities were negatively correlated with α-amylase activity, while LOX activity and MDA and H2O2 contents were negatively correlated with the storage property of sweet potato. Combined, our findings revealed that storage property is highly correlated with antioxidant capacity in sweet potato leaves and negatively correlated with α-amylase activity in tuberous roots, which provides a convenient means for the screening of storage-tolerant sweet potato cultivars.

“…On the other hand, dipping in calcium chloride and then applying 1-MCP was a successful strategy to improve fresh-cut strawberries and watermelon quality during storage [ 26 , 27 ]. Other natural origin compounds as carvacrol [ 28 ] or elicitors as methyl salicylate [ 29 ] and melatonin [ 30 ] have increased shelf-life delaying ripening when these treatments were applied in combination with 1-MCP in red pitaya, tomato fruit, and apricot respectively. However, none of these studies have evaluated the chilling tolerance provided by a combined effect of the previous mentioned strategies.…”

Zucchini fruit are highly sensitive to low temperatures leading to significant peel depressions, increasing weight loss and making them impossible to be commercialized. In this study the effect on the reduction of chilling injury (CI) assaying different postharvest treatments to cv. Cronos was evaluated. We have compared the application of substances such as 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) with the application of a natural origin compound as melatonin (MT), both with demonstrated activity against CI in different vegetal products. The effects of MT (1 mM) by dipping treatment of 1 h and 1-MCP (2400 ppb) have been evaluated on zucchini fruit during 15 days of storage at 4 °C plus 2 days at 20 °C. Treatments applied independently improved some fruit quality parameters in comparison with control fruit but were not able to manage CI even though they mitigated the impact on several parameters. However, when these two separated strategies were combined, zucchini cold tolerance increased with a synergic trend. This synergic effect affected in general all parameters but specially CI, being also the only lot in which zucchini fruit were most effectively preserved. This is the first evidence in which a clear positive effect on zucchini chilling tolerance has been obtained combining these two different strategies. In this sense, the combined effect of 1-MCP and MT could be a suitable tool to reach high quality standards and increasing shelf life under suboptimal temperatures.
