Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the plant cuticle's importance in maintaining postharvest quality and shelf life of horticultural crops, particularly addressing the quality issues of passion fruit caused by peel wrinkling after harvest.
- - Treatment with tea polyphenols (TPs) significantly reduces weight loss, keeps firmness, and lowers cell membrane permeability in passion fruit during cold storage, thereby enhancing cuticle thickness and structural integrity.
- - Metabolomics analysis shows that TPs treatment boosts levels of certain fatty acids and alcohols in the fruit's peel cuticle, suggesting TPs could be an effective method for improving preservation and preventing quality degradation of passion fruit postharvest.
Passion fruits are highly perishable during postharvest storage and transportation, prompting the exploration of natural preservatives. This study investigates the synergistic effects of Aloe vera (ALV) and tea polyphenols (TP) coatings on quality retention, ripening modulation, and associated regulatory mechanisms in stored "golden" passion fruit (Passiflora spp.) at 10 °C.

Currently, peel coloration of mango fruit in response to exogenous ethylene and the underlying molecular mechanism remain largely unknown. The role of MiMYB8 on suppressing peel coloration in postharvest 'Guifei' mango was investigated by physiology detection, RNA-seq, qRT-PCR, bioinformatics analysis, yeast one-hybrid, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and transient overexpression.

In this study, a pathogenesis test was performed between and cultivars against grape white rot disease (). was found to be resistant against this disease.

The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors play an essential role in regulatory networks that control many processes associated with physiological, abiotic and biotic stress responses in fruits.
