Osmolytes and CsAQP expression jointly influence water physiology in the peel and pulp of orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) fruit during postharvest water loss

Frontiers in Plant Science
Water loss is a serious issue affecting the quality of postharvest horticultural products. Aquaporins (AQPs) regulate the transport of water across biological membranes, along the gradient of water potential, and may play a role in water loss.

Obstruction of Water Uptake in cut Chrysanthemum Stems after Dry Storage: Role of Wound-induced Increase in Enzyme Activities and Air Emboli [PDF]

, 2009
Hydraulic conductance of cut chrysanthemum stems was lowered by the aspiration of air as well as by a wound-induced plant response. By measuring the hydraulic conductance of stem segments in which air could be introduced into and/or removed from the ...

Quality of Postharvest Degreened Citrus Fruit

, 2023
External color is a key factor that defines external citrus fruit quality. Degreening with exogenous ethylene exposure is a widely used postharvest treatment applied to promote external citrus fruit color development, mainly with those cultivars that reach internal maturity while their external peel color is still green.

Preharvest and Postharvest Factors Affecting the Quality and Shelf Life of Harvested Tomatoes: A Mini Review

International Journal of Agronomy, 2015
Tomato production can serve as a source of income for most rural and periurban producers in most developing countries of the world. However, postharvest losses make its production unprofitable in these parts of the world.
