“…Regarding irrigation treatment, several reports indicate that fruit drop can be increased by adverse conditions such as suboptimal irrigation, as confirmed by previous research on P. granatum [ 52 ], Prunus armeniaca [ 53 ], and Prunus salicina [ 54 ]. The efficacy of foliar applications of SA in improving fruit retention has been also reported in Citrus reculata [ 55 ] and Mangifera indica [ 56 ], as SA treatment probably inhibits ethylene synthesis and starch–sugar conversion [ 57 ].…”

Salicylic acid (SA) application is a promising agronomic tool. However, studies under field conditions are required, to confirm the potential benefits of SA. Thus, SA application was evaluated under field conditions for its effect on abscisic acid levels, antioxidant related-parameters, fruit quality, and yield in Aristotelia chilensis subjected to different levels of irrigation. During two growing seasons, three-year-old plants under field conditions were subjected to full irrigation (FI: 100% of reference evapotranspiration (ETo), and deficit irrigation (DI: 60% ETo). During each growth season, a single application of 0.5 mM SA was performed at fruit color change by spraying fruits and leaves of both irrigation treatments. The results showed that DI plants experienced moderate water stress (−1.3 MPa), which increased ABA levels and oxidative stress in the leaves. The SA application facilitated the recovery of all physiological parameters under the DI condition, increasing fruit fresh weight by 44%, with a 27% increase in fruit dry weight, a 1 mm increase in equatorial diameter, a 27% improvement in yield per plant and a 27% increase in total yield, with lesser oxidative stress and tissue ABA levels in leaves. Also, SA application significantly increased (by about 10%) the values of fruit trait variables such as soluble solids, total phenols, and antioxidant activity, with the exceptions of titratable acidity and total anthocyanins, which did not vary. The results demonstrated that SA application might be used as an agronomic strategy to improve fruit yield and quality, representing a saving of 40% regarding water use.

“…At a cold temperature, higher SSC values in 'Colorpple' and lower SSC values in 'Manhong' were observed in the untreated fruits compared to the treated fruits at four months of storage. Changes in the SSC in fruits are related to the starch-sugar conversion during ripening, which is influenced by ethylene (Doerflinger et al, 2015;Yuan et al, 2023). Zhang et al (2020) reported that SSC was less affected by 1-MCP and its response to a 1-MCP treatment differed depending on the apple cultivar, although 1-MCP inhibited ethylene (Win et al, 2019).…”

Methods by which to realize the postharvest preservation of the new apple cultivars 'Colorpple' and 'Manhong' are unknown. Hence, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the postharvest physiological characteristics and storage quality of 'Colorpple' and 'Manhong' apples. Harvested apples were treated with 1-MCP (1 µL•L -1 ) and stored for 40 days under warm temperature (20 ± 1°C) and for eight months under cold (0 ± 1 °C) temperature conditions. Untreated fruits were used as control groups. Ethylene production and respiration rates were lower in all treated fruits stored at a warm temperature. However, 1-MCP had minimal effects on flesh firmness, weight loss, or the soluble solid content (SSC), affecting only the titratable acidity (TA) at 40 days. Higher L* (20 and 30 days) and lower a* (30 and 40 days) values were observed only in the fruit skins of untreated 'Colorpple' apples. Additionally, skin greasiness increased in the untreated 'Colorpple' (30 and 40 days) and 'Manhong' (20 days) apples. Slight levels of fruit decay were observed in 'Colorpple' (30 days) and 'Manhong' (30 and 40 days). At a cold temperature, 1-MCP induced lower ethylene production and respiration rates and higher flesh firmness and TA in both cultivars, while weight losses as well as skin color and SSC changes were not detected. A lower SSC/TA ratio was observed in treated fruits after 6-8 months of storage. Moderate to severe skin greasiness was observed in both untreated apple types. Overall, this study suggests that a 1-MCP treatment improves the postharvest physiological characteristics and fruit quality of 'Colorpple' and 'Manhong' apples; 1-MCP is more effective for long-term storage of these cultivars at cold temperatures but is less effective at ambient temperatures.

Currently, several studies have demonstrated that cold stress can cause the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in fruit. However, little is known about the roles of gibberellic acid (GA3) on the antioxidant system in the mitochondria of fruit. To explore the molecular basis of GA3 interference with the chilling tolerance of fruit, ‘Jinqiuhongmi’ peach fruit was treated with 0.1 mmol L−1 GA3 after harvest. Exogenous GA3 treatment relieved the chilling injury of postharvest peach fruit with a lower cold injury index and higher antioxidant level. In addition, GA3 delayed the senescence of peaches by reducing the firmness, respiratory action, and ethylene production. The antioxidant enzyme activities were elevated, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Moreover, GA3-treated peaches exhibited lower hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in comparison with the control. These results showed that the application of 0.1 mmol L−1 of GA3 enhanced the chilling resistance of peach fruit by regulating the antioxidant system.
