“…On the other hand, an increase in firmness was prevented in loquat treated with MeJA at 10 µmol l -1 for 24 h [11,16,50] or 16 µmol l -1 for 6 h [36]. A similar response was observed in loquat fruit dipped in ASA at 1000 µmol l -1 for 5 min [51].…”

“…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.…”

“…Reduced respiration rate was also observed in pomegranates dipped in acetyl salicylic acid (ASA -a close analogue of salicylic acid) at 100, 500 and 1000 µmol l -1 for 10 min, stored at 2 °C [13]. The positive effects were associated with either reduced chilling injury in MeJA treated loquat [16], SA treated plums [24] and pomegranates [13] or delayed ripening observed in SA treated banana [23] and custard apples [25].…”

These treatments can be applied either as a vapour, where the initial concentration of the solution (often spotted onto filter paper inside the container) is given and time allowing the methyl jasmonate/methyl salicylate to evaporate is specified [16][17][18]. They can also be used as dips [19,20] when prepared in aqueous solution, where dose equals to concentration x time of treatment.…”

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.

Cold storage of fruits is exploited to prolong postharvest life and marketing period by minimising their metabolic activity. However, exposure of fruits to nonfreezing low temperatures for prolonged periods of time may also lead to the development of cold‐inducible physiological disorders termed chilling injuries. Chilling injuries represent an economically relevant problem that may occur in an unpredictable way depending on the sensitivity of the fruits to low temperature. In this article, we consider the main aspects of cold stress signalling and responses taking place in fruits during storage and during the following period of warming at room temperature that often results in the further induction of chilling injury symptoms. A vast amount of research has contributed to the identification of several biochemical and molecular events underlying cold stress responses in fruits. Convincing evidence shows that ethylene plays a pivotal regulatory role, through a complex interplay with other hormones, but early inducing factors remain elusive. Recent studies based on system analyses of cold‐dependent trancriptomic and metabolomic changes have contributed to shed light on some early regulatory events which may contribute to determining the fruits' sensitivity to cold stress. A better understanding of these phenomena is essential to optimise cold storage conditions and for an efficient use of resources to deliver a more sustainable fruit supply chain.
