The regulatory mechanisms underlying fruit ripening, including hormone regulation, transcription factor activity, and epigenetic modifications, have been discussed extensively. Nonetheless, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in fruit ripening remains unclear. Here, we identified lncRNA1471 as a negative regulator of tomato fruit-ripening initiation.

Fruit softening directly impacts its storage life, transportability, and customer acceptance. Auxin plays a key role during fruit ripening, but the underlying mechanisms of how auxin regulates fruit softening remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the regulatory roles of auxin on berry cell wall degradation during grape ( L.

As fresh produce easily undergoes postharvest decay, eco-friendly and active packaging is an emerging technology for maintaining the safety and quality of fresh produce. This study focuses on the development of an active and biodegradable packaging foam made from sodium alginate (SA) incorporated with the natural antimicrobial vanillin (VAN) to enhance the shelf life and quality of fresh produce. The effects of VAN concentrations (0, 0.

Food loss and waste has a detrimental impact on the economy, food security and the environment, especially at a time when more than 700 million people around the world suffer from hunger. Fruit and vegetables are highly perishable products and, as a result significant amounts are wasted at various stages of the food supply chain. In addition to this, the hard truth is that a high percentage of fresh produce is wasted because it does not meet quality requirements, mainly in terms of aesthetics.

This study investigated endophytic fungi isolated from the medicinal plant Panax notoginseng. Among these, the endophytic fungus SQ3, identified as Chaetomium globosum, was capable of reducing silver ions to form metallic silver nanoparticles. The green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) presented a distinct surface plasmon resonance peak at 424 nm, with particle sizes between 2.
