Methyl jasmonate alleviates chilling injury and regulates fruit quality in ‘Midknight’ Valencia orange

Methyl jasmonate alleviates chilling injury and keeps intact pericarp structure of pomegranate during low temperature storage

“…The results showed that MeJA could inhibit the degradation of membrane lipids and the growth of cell membrane permeability caused by cold stimulation, thus slowing down the extravasation of K + , Ca 2+ , sugar, and other substances, and maintaining the stability of intracellular environment. Similar effects have been founded in bell pepper (Wang et al., 2019), oranges (Rehman et al., 2018), lemons (Siboza et al., 2017), and tomatoes (Wang et al., 2015).…”

“…Methyl jasmonate (MeJA), an endogenous signaling molecule, widely exists in numerous higher plants and can induce the expression of gene related to stress resistance and is closely related to plant stress resistance (Guo et al., 2014; Wang et al., 2015). Recent studies have shown that MeJA can effectively delay the occurrence and development of CI symptoms of a number of horticultural crops, including bell pepper (Wang et al., 2019), oranges (Rehman et al., 2018), tomatoes (Wang et al., 2015), lemons (Siboza et al., 2017), loquat (Cao et al., 2009), mango (González-Aguilar et al., 2000), guava (González-Aguilar et al., 2004), etc.…”

Exogenous polyamines alleviate chilling injury of jujube fruit ( Zizyphus jujuba Mill)

“…Previously various approaches have widely been attempted to alleviate CI development in CI-sensitive fruit, such as salicylic acid, oxalic acid, methyl jasmonate, polyamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, controlled atmosphere, and heat treatment (Babalar et al, 2018;Hao, Li, Xu, Huo, & Yang, 2019;Sayyari, Babalar, Kalantari, Serrano, & Valero, 2009;Shadmani, Ahmad, Saari, Ding, & Tajidin, 2015;Valencia, Rehman, Singh, & Khurshid, 2018). Polyamine compounds, such as Put, Spd, and spermine, have been evident to reduce CI with reduced electrolyte leakage and decreased CI symptoms, thus, increasing the CI tolerance (Mart, 2002).…”

Effects of methyl jasmonate on quality properties and phytochemical compounds of kiwifruit (Actinidiadeliciosa cv. ‘Hayward’) during cold storage and shelf life

“…In the present study, MeJA might have exhibited a similar effect to the aforementioned literature. Contrarily, increasing flesh softening was reported with MeJA treatments in loquat fruits (Jin et al, 2014) and MeJA treatments yielded similar firmness values with the control in oranges (Rehman et al, 2018). Such conflicting outcomes indicated that effects of MeJA might vary with the species and cultivars (Rohwer and Erwin, 2008).…”
