Article Abstract

In the process of growing, harvesting, and storage, fruits are vulnerable to mechanical damage, microbial infections, and other types of damage, which not only reduce the quality of fruits, increase the risk of fungal infections, in turn greatly affect food safety, but also sharply reduce economic benefits. Hence, it is essential to identify damaged fruits in time. Rapid and nondestructive detection of fruits damage is in great demand. In this paper, the latest research progresses on the detection of fruits damage by nondestructive techniques, including visible/near-infrared spectroscopy, chlorophyll fluorescence techniques, computer vision, multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, structured-illumination reflectance imaging, laser-induced backscattering imaging, optical coherence tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance and imaging, X-ray imaging, electronic nose, thermography, and acoustic methods, are summarized. We briefly introduce the principles of these techniques, summarize their applicability. The challenges and future trends are also proposed to provide beneficial reference for future researches and real-world applications.

Electronic address:

SnRK1 (SNF1-related kinase 1), a member of the SNF1 protein kinase superfamily, has been demonstrated to play a role in plant growth and development, as well as in stress responses. In this experiment, the leaf senescence of 'Xintaimici' cucumber was simulated by dark treatment and studied using SnRK1 activator/inhibitor and transient transformation technology. The effects of SnRK1 on cucumber leaf senescence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, chloroplast structure, and photosynthetic characteristics were studied.

Salinity stress disrupts water uptake and nutrient absorption, causing reduced photosynthesis, stunted growth, and decreased crop yields in plants. The use of indole acetic acid (IAA), arginine (AN), and mango fruit waste biochar (MFWB) can be effective methods to overcome this problem. Indole acetic acid (IAA) is a natural auxin hormone that aids cell elongation and division, thereby increasing plant height and branching.
