“…Methyl salicylate (MeSA) vapors increased epicatechin, PAL, chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase activity and reduced anthracnose of avocado significantly [186]. Pre-and postharvest SA treatment increased the shelf life of pomegranate, mango, jujube, and strawberries by inhibiting decay [187][188][189][190]. Salicylic acid maintained the content of total phenol, total antioxidant, and activity of CAT, SOD, and POD and reduced papaya rot [191].…”

Sustainable agriculture requires factors to directly stimulate plant growth and induce the plant’s innate immune system to protect against stresses. Protection of plants is one of the main approaches to the supply of food resource. Furthermore, improved techniques for plant disease management must be environmentally sustainable, reliable, acceptable by society, and chemical-free to ensure sustainable food security. Although it is not possible to accurately determine postharvest losses due to diseases and physiological disorders, the use of proper harvesting and transportation methods that minimize damage to the product, along with optimal storage conditions that prevent the development of diseases, will be effective in reducing these postharvest losses. Since handling and storage conditions are potential threats for postharvest spoilage, it is necessary to identify environmentally friendly approaches and their precision mechanisms for postharvest disease management. Recently, biological control, non-chemical, and eco-friendly techniques have been investigated for this purpose.

“…In addition to these, Ca is also important for fruit physiology as it participates in the signaling pathway of ethylene, abscisic acid and auxin and in this way Ca delays the ripening and senescence of fruit (Hocking et al, 2016). It was stated that exegenous Ca applications effectively maintained fruit quality and retarded ripening in many fruit such as grape (Yu et al, 2020), jujube (Zeraatgar et al, 2019), pear (Zhang et al, 2019) and sweet cherry (Michailidis et al, 2017). Furthermore,it was reported that Ca applications extended storage life and delayed quality losses of sweet cherries by suppressing respiration rate and increasing tissue strength, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of fruit (Wang et al, 2014; Michailidis et al, 2017; Wang and Long, 2015).…”

The effects of pre- and postharvest calcium gluconate (Ca-Glu) treatments on some physicochemical characteristics and bioactive compounds of sweet cherry cv. Sweetheart during cold storage were investigated. For preharvest treatments, the Ca-Glu (1%) solution was applied to the cherry trees two times at 21 and 35 days after full bloom stage. Control trees were sprayed with distilled water at the same days. Sweet cherries, sprayed with and without Ca-Glu, were dipped into cold water (4°C) containing calcium gluconate (1%) for 30 s and only in cold water (4°C) as control, after harvest Following each treatment, cherries were placed in plastic boxes and stored at 1 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 5% relative humidity for 3 weeks. The weight losses of cherries increased over time but calcium (Ca) treatments, especially pre-and postharvest combination, limited these increases compared to control groups. The best result for suppressing the respiration rate of cherries was also obtained from combined treatment. Moreover, combined treatment delayed the losses of titratable acidity, fruit firmness, decay rate and sensory quality in sweet cherries during storage comparison with the pre or postharvest application of Ca-Glu alone. The effect of Ca-Clu treatments on stem chlorophyll content and antioxidant activity was not significant. Preharvest and combined treatments retarded the loss of ascorbic acid content of cherries compared to postharvest and control treatments. The total phenolic and anthocyanin content increased regularly throughout storage, regardless of treatment; however, Ca treatments delayed the accumulation of these compounds. As a result, the combined Ca-Glu treatment could be a promising method for maintaining some physicochemical characteristics and bioactive compounds in sweet cherries during cold storage.
