Ultraviolet (UV-C), a no residual environmentally friendly physical treatment, plays an important role in delaying the senescence in fruit. In this study, 'Lingwu long' jujubes were treated with UV-C (5 kJ m) to investigate the impacts of cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) activities, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, and phenylpropanoid metabolism under storage at 4 ± 1 °C for 30 d. UV-C treatment reduced respiration rate and decay index. Treated fruit exhibited lower polygalacturonase (PG), pectinate lyases (PL), cellulase (Cel), and β-galactosidase (β-gal) activities which ultimately delayed the reduction of firmness. UV-C treatment increased hydrogen peroxide (HO), free radical scavenging ability, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, reduced superoxide anion (O) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content. In addition, ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) activities were activated by UV-C treatment, leading to glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid (AsA) increased. Besides, phenolic compounds of jujube fruit treated with UV-C were also increased, which might be due to the enhanced phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H), and 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) activities. In conclusion, UV-C was recommended for improving overall quality and alleviating senescence in jujube fruit.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different dietary supplementation levels with jujube fruit powder on the performance, biochemical parameters, and egg quality characteristics of laying quails. A total of 60 quails (45 days old) were randomly assigned to treatments with different levels of jujube fruit powder: a basal diet (control) and diets supplemented with 5 g/kg (T1), 10 g/kg (T2), with five replicates per treatment (20 quails/treatment and four quails/replicate). The differences between 1-15 and 16-30 days for feed intake (p<0.

Background: Fruit size is a crucial economic trait that impacts the quality of jujube (Ziziphus jujuba), however, research in this area remains limited. This study utilized two jujube cultivars with similar genetic backgrounds but differing fruit sizes to investigate the regulatory mechanisms affecting fruit size through cytological observations, transcriptome sequencing, and heterologous overexpression.
Results: The findings reveal that variations in mesocarp cell numbers during early fruit development significantly influence final fruit size.

Article Synopsis
- * A comparison of sour jujube 'Qingjiansuanzao' and cultivated jujube 'Junzao' revealed that sour jujube has higher PA levels that decrease as the fruit develops.
- * Research identified specific genes, ZjLAR and ZjANR, that promote PA production; overexpressing these genes in both jujube and other plants increased PA content, providing insights for improving jujube fruit quality.
