Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) plays a key role in the postharvest pericarp browning of litchi fruit, but its underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we cloned the litchi PPO gene (LcPPO, JF926153), and described its expression patterns. The LcPPO

Divergence of gene regulation through chromosomal rearrangements [PDF]
Background The molecular mechanisms that modify genome structures to give birth and death to alleles are still not well understood. To investigate the causative chromosomal rearrangements, we took advantage of the allelic diversity of the duplicated p1 ...

Regulation of pericarp browning in cold-stored litchi fruit using methyl jasmonate
Abstract Postharvest litchi fruit is highly perishable and vulnerable to pericarp browning (PB), which affects marketability. In this study, the effect of vacuum infiltrated methyl jasmonate (0, 1, or 2 mM) on the quality of fresh cold stored (7 ± 1 °C and RH 85–90%) litchi.

Combinational effect of chemical treatments on quality of litchi (Litchi chinensis) during storage
Attractive red-coloured pericarp is one of the most important factors in the consumer decision to purchase litchi(Litchi chinensis Sonn.). Red colour of the pericarp turns brown within 2-3 days after harvest which reduces themarketability and commercial ...

Anthocyanins and anthocyanin-degrading enzymes in Kwai May and Wai Chee cultivars of litchis grown in Reunion Island and Spain [PDF]
Introduction. Après récolte, les fruits du litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) perdent rapidement la couleur rouge lumineuse de leur peau. Le brunissement du litchi récolté a été en grande partie attribué à la dégradation rapide, dans la peau, des colorants ...

Effect of Pectin Coatings Containing Trans-cinnamaldehyde on the Postharvest Quality of Rambutan
Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) (Sapinadeae) fruit, a nutritional staple in Hawaii, exhibits desiccation and physiological browning soon after harvest, and methods to prolong shelf life may be commercially advantageous. In this study, freshly harvested

Transcriptome profiling for pericarp browning during long-term storage of intact lotus root (Nelumbo nucifera) [PDF]
Abstract Lotus root ( Nelumbo nucifera ) is an edible rhizome that the consumption/production has continuously increased as more consumers demand convenient and ready-to-eat foods. However, the processing, storage, and transportation of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables promotes physiological deterioration, such as browning, which leads to a ...

Use of low-pressure storage to improve the quality of tomatoes [PDF]
Freshly harvested vine-ripened tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum cv. Neang Pich) were stored at low pressure (4 kPa) at 10°C for 11 days with 100% RH. Fruit quality was examined upon removal and after being transferred to normal atmosphere (101 kPa) at 20°C
