Tomato ACS4 is necessary for timely start of and progression through the climacteric phase of fruit ripening

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Climacteric fruit ripening, as it occurs in many fruit crops, depends on a rapid, autocatalytic increase in ethylene production. This agriculturally important process has been studied extensively, with tomato simultaneously acting both as a model species

Photocatalytically Activated Cu‐N1S3 Single‐Atom Nanozyme: Enhancing Enzyme Activities and Antibacterial Synergy for Highly Efficient Fruit Preservation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents S‐coordinated Cu single‐atom nanozymes (Cu/CNS) fabricated via mild photocatalytic self‐assembly strategy. The nanozyme exhibits exceptional multi‐enzyme activity and near‐perfect antimicrobial efficacy. Incorporated into chitosan‐gelatin film, it enables pH‐responsive, broad‐spectrum fruit preservation, more than doubling the shelf‐
