“…For the evaluation of the fruit quality, ten tomatoes (every harvest date) were randomly selected from each sector. We characterized tomato fruits by measuring their weight [66] and diameters [67], soluble solids content [65,66], core firmness [66], and dry matter content [65,66]. The instruments used were an electronic balance PB3002-L Delta Range ® (Mettler Toledo, SA, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain) with a measuring range of 0-600 kg and an accuracy of 0.1 g for weight measurement (W F ) and a digital gauge (Medid Precision, SA, Barcelona, Spain) with a measuring range of 0-150 mm and resolution of 0.010 mm for measuring the fruit equatorial diameter (D F ).…”

The efficient use of light is one of the most important factors for the development of greenhouse crops. It is increasingly necessary to use film covers that enhance transmittance and the proportion of diffuse light to generate a more homogeneous light distribution. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect that an experimental film cover with high transmittance and high light diffusivity produces on the microclimate and the growth and yield of tomato crops (Solanum lycopersicum L.), compared with a commercial thermal film cover. The trial was developed during a spring–summer growing cycle in a multispan greenhouse divided into two compartments (sectors) separated by a vertical polyethylene sheet. In the East sector, a commercial film was installed (transmittance of 85% and diffusivity of 60%) and in the West sector, an experimental film was used (transmittance of 90% and diffusivity of 55%). The results show an increase in the marketable yield of 0.25 kg·m−2 in the sector with the experimental film, which represents 3.2% growth with respect to the commercial film. The photosynthetic activity measured in tomato leaves was 21.5% higher in plants growing in the sector with the experimental film, with had the highest transmittance. The increase in radiation transmittance of 14% produced greater photosynthetic activity without generating a higher inside air temperature at the crop level (at the height of 2 m above the floor). However, the mean temperature of the soil surface was statistically higher on the side with the diffuse experimental cover film, as a logical consequence of the higher level of intercepted solar radiation.

“…Additionally, NO can implement the effect of other compounds. For example, the application of NO improves the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to extend the postharvest life in blueberry (Gergoff et al, 2017) and tomato (Steelhearta et al, 2019) fruits.…”

Nitric oxide (NO) is a short-life and free radical molecule involved in a wide range of cellular, physiological and stressful processes in higher plants. In recent years it has been observed that exogenous NO application can palliate adverse damages against abiotic and biotic stresses.Conversely, there is accumulating information indicating that endogenous NO participates significantly in the mechanism of modulation of the ripening in climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. Even more, when NO is exogenously applied, it can mediate beneficial effects during ripening and postharvest storage being one of the main effects the increase of antioxidant systems. Consequently, NO could be a promising biotechnological tool to improve crops through ameliorating nutritional indexes and to alleviate damages during fruit ripening and postharvest management. Thus, this approach should be complementary to previous strategies to allow preserving the quality and healthiness of fruits with a view of enhancing their added value. The present mini-review aims to provide an overview of NO biochemistry in plants and updated information on the relevance of NO in fruit ripening and postharvest stages with a view to its biotechnological applications.

“…The post‐harvest application of 1‐MCP significantly maintains textural and visual attributes (Cliff et al., 2009), alleviates rotting (Min, Dong, et al, 2018; Min, Li, et al, 2018; Su & Gubler, 2012), maintains higher bioactive compounds (Park et al., 2016), up‐regulates the activities of antioxidant enzymes (Steelheart et al., 2019), and delays ripening and ethylene production (Baldwin et al, 2011; Biswas et al., 2014; Mata et al., 2018; Poyesh et al., 2018; Sabir & Agar, 2011) in tomato. Nevertheless, it has not been found to influence on the aroma volatiles (Zou et al., 2018).…”

1‐Methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) application influences the post‐harvest ripening process in numerous horticultural crops by inhibiting the ethylene perception as it competes with ethylene for binding receptors and thereby retards the down regulation processes. Successful commercialization of 1‐MCP requires a balance between its concentration to be applied, exposure time and type of crop. This review article describes 1‐MCP application for maintaining the post‐harvest quality in selected horticultural crops. Practical applications This review article delivers key information as how 1‐MCP application significantly influenced the post‐harvest quality of selected horticultural crops in recent years. Furthermore, this review article would also address different factors influencing the response to 1‐MCP which would expand more knowledge among growers for its successful application.
