“…No significant difference in H2O2 content was observed between control and MeJA treated Chinese bayberries [58] and loquat [16] during 8 and 14 days of storage at 1 °C, respectively. Substantial difference between the treatments, however, has been noticed by a number of authors when fresh produce was inoculated with fungal pathogens, i.e.…”

“…Postharvest treatments of fresh produce with jasmonates or salicylates have been found efficient in reducing decay in numerous products [18,22,24,28,37,49,50,52,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63] (Table 1). Significant reduction in decay was observed in grapefruit dipped in MeJA at 10-50 µmol l -1 for 30 s or treated with JA at 1-10 µmol l -1 and stored at 2 °C [19], whereas limited or no benefits, as indicated by only a slight reduction in lesion diameter, were observed in mandarins treated with MeJA at 10-200 µmol l -1 [64] and oranges treated with SA at 750-3000 µmol l -1 for 60 or 150 s [65], stored at 20 °C.…”

“…It is evident from the literature that fungal species differ in their sensitivity to these compounds. Furthermore, the results from in vitro studies often do not transfer directly to in vivo situation, highlighting the fact that the effect of the treatment is often not due to antimicrobial action of jasmonates and salicylates but is rather associated with their effects on plant-pathogen interaction, resulting in increased disease resistance [50,52,58].…”

The fresh produce industry is constantly growing, due to increasing consumer demand. The shelf-life of some fruit, however, is relatively short, limited by microbial contamination or visual, textural and nutritional quality loss. Thus, techniques for reducing undesired microbial contamination, spoilage and decay, as well as maintaining product's visual, textural and nutritional quality are in high demand at all steps within the supply chain. The postharvest use of signalling molecules, i.e. jasmonates and salicylates seems to have unexplored potential. The focus of this review is on the effects of treatment with jasmonates and salicylates on the fresh produce quality, defined by decay incidence and severity, chilling injury, maintenance of texture, visual quality, taste and aroma, and nutritional content. Postharvest treatments with jasmonates and salicylates have the ability to reduce decay by increasing fruit resistance to diseases and reducing chilling injury in numerous products.These treatments also possess the ability to improve other quality characteristics, i.e. appearance, texture maintenance and nutritional content. Furthermore, they can easily be combined with other treatments, e.g. heat treatment, ultrasound treatment. A good understanding of all the benefits and limitations related to the postharvest use of jasmonates and salicylates is needed, and relevant information has been reviewed in this paper.

BACKGROUNDThe effects of postharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment (50 μmol L–1) on the control of gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea in blueberry fruit were evaluated by analyzing (i) the levels of disease resistance signals; (ii) the activity of enzymes involved in antioxidant system, disease resistance and phenylpropanoid pathway, and (iii) the secondary metabolite content.RESULTSThe results indicated that MeJA treatment significantly restrained the development of gray mold decay in blueberries. The treatment induced a nitric oxide (NO) burst and increased the endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content in the earlier period of storage. The enhanced NO and H2O2 generation by MeJA treatment might serve as a signal to induce resistance against B. cinerea infection. Furthermore, in inoculated fruit, MeJA treatment significantly promoted antioxidant enzymes and defense‐related enzyme activity, which included superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, chitinase, and β‐1,3‐glucanase, and the degree of membrane lipid peroxidation was reduced. The MeJA treatment enhanced the phenylpropanoid pathway by provoking phenylalanine ammonialyase, cinnamate 4‐hydroxylase, and 4‐coumarate CoA ligase activity, which was accompanied by elevated levels of phenolics and flavonoids in blueberry fruit.CONCLUSIONThese results suggested that MeJA could induce the disease resistance of blueberries against B. cinerea by regulating the antioxidant enzymes, defense‐related enzymes, and the phenylpropanoid pathway through the activation of signaling molecules.
