Integrated omics reveal the mechanisms underlying softening and aroma changes in pear during postharvest storage and the role of melatonin

BMC Plant Biology
Background Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim. are rich in nutrients, with a pleasant aroma and postharvest softening properties. Postharvest softening influences shelf life of fruit and fruit quality.

The Role of Ethylene and Cold Temperature in the Regulation of the Apple POLYGALACTURONASE1 Gene and Fruit Softening

, 2010
Fruit softening in apple (Malus 3 domestica) is associated with an increase in the ripening hormone ethylene. Here, we show that in cv Royal Gala apples that have the ethylene biosynthetic gene ACC OXIDASE1 suppressed, a cold treatment preconditions the ...

Advancing Fruit Bioimpedance Monitoring With Sustainable, Soft, And Bio‐Based Electrodes Beyond ECG

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Electrical impedance spectroscopy enables non‐destructive fruit quality monitoring, but conventional ECG and needle electrodes compromise signal stability, fruit physiology, and sustainability. This perspective highlights the transition toward soft, biocompatible, and biodegradable electrode interfaces based on natural substrates, bio‐derived ...

Kiwifruit size influences softening rate during storage

California Agriculture, 1999
Large (~101 grams), medium (~93 grams) and small (~81 grams) 'Hayward' kiwifruits were stored in either ethylene-free air or in a controlled atmosphere (CA) of 5% carbon dioxide (CO2) and 2% oxygen (O2) at 32°F for 16 weeks.

Ethylene promotes pectin degradation and fruit softening by negatively regulating PavSPL7 in sweet cherry (Prunus avium)

Horticulture Advances
Fruit softening significantly impacts the shelf-life and economic value of fruits. Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) are particularly prone to damage during transportation due to softening.

Access to Finance and Innovation in the Canadian Food Processing

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Innovation is a presumed channel through which finance affects productivity, yet there is limited research testing the relationship between finance and innovation in the food manufacturing sector. The purpose of the paper is to explore the determinants (e.g., financing, R&D, firm size, expenditure on innovation) of the adoption of innovation ...

Characterization of expression and enzyme activity of lipoxygenases during fruit softening and superficial scald development in ‘Wujiuxiang’ pear

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2016
Lipoxygenases (LOXs; EC 1.13.11.12) have been implicated in fruit ripening and senescence; however, little is known regarding the specific LOX genes involved in fruit softening and scald develop- ment in pear.

Spatio-temporal postharvest changes in texture and fatty acid profiles in avocado fruit from different origins [PDF]

, 2008
The degree of ripeness of many climacteric fruits, such as avocado, can be correlated with fleshfirmness and other rheological properties. However, there remains a paucity of information on not only thepostharvest changes in texture of avocado fruit ...

Exogenous spermidine treatment delays the softening of postharvest blueberry fruit by inhibiting the accumulation of abscisic acid

Future Postharvest and Food
Fruit softening is one of the main reasons for the loss of fresh blueberry; spermidine (Spd) delays fruit softening to some extent. However, the specific mechanism by which Spd delays fruit softening is not clear.
