The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Combinatorial approaches for controlling pericarp browning in Litchi (Litchi chinensis) fruit [PDF]

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2015
The availability of fruit like litchi has been limited by variability in yield, alternate bearing, seasonal differences and most commonly post harvest problems. The litchi fruit has a very short shelf-life during which red color turns brown which greatly affects the appeal to consumer although not the unique flavor.

Combination of EGCG and CPPU Treatment Alleviates Pericarp Browning by Boosting Antioxidant Activity and Inhibiting Chlorophyll Degradation in “Feizixiao” Litchi After Harvest

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
The combined treatment of EGCG and CPPU exhibits alleviating the reduction of phenolic content and antioxidant activity, thereby reducing MDA and H2O2 accumulation, as well as maintaining membrane integrity; and inhibiting chlorophyll degradation and the expression of related genes.

Understanding the dynamic nature of plant lipid anabolic and catabolic metabolism is key to sustainable oilseed engineering

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 2196-2214, March 2026.
Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Dielectric properties of litchi fruit (Litchi chinensis Sonn) at microwave frequencies

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2020
The dielectric properties of litchi fruit were determined using the open-ended coaxial probe method. The measurements were performed in the frequency range from 0.5 to 20 GHz during 3 days of storage at room temperature (~  24 °C). The dielectric properties increased with storage time.

Control of post-harvest pericarp browning of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn) [PDF]

Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2010
Pericarp browning is the major post-harvest problem of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn) fruit, resulting in reduced commercial value of the fruit. Control of post-harvest pericarp browning of fruit using 9 different post-harvest treatments were studied. The treated fruits were packed in transparent perforated (0.2% ventilation) low density polythene bags

Screening of Litchi (Litchi Chinensis Sonn.) Genotypes Against Sun Burn

Bangladesh Journal of Botany, 2022
Thirty genotypes were evaluated for incidence of sun burn and fruit cracking. Fourteen genotypes were affected by sun burn with maximum in genotype IC-0615602 (54.48%). Sixteen genotypes were free from sun burn which possessed maximum cuticle thickness ranging from 1.99 mm in IC-0615585 to 1.95 mm in IC-0615595 whereas susceptible genotypes possessed ...

Improved Longan Genome Assembly Reveals Insights Into Flowering Mechanisms

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1678-1696, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Longan is an exotic tropical fruit crop and exhibits off‐season flowering induced by potassium chlorate (KClO3), though the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We assembled a high‐quality, 441.5 Mb genome of variety ‘Shixia’, with a contig N50 at 28.1 Mb, 29, 325 protein‐coding genes, 26 telomeres and 15 centromeres.
