Harvest and Postharvest Factors Affecting Bruise Damage of Fresh Fruits

Zaharan Hussein, Olaniyi Amos Fawole, Umezuruike Linus Opara · 4 Sep 2019

Fresh fruits are susceptible to bruising, a common type of mechanical damage during harvest and at all stages of postharvest handling. In quest of developing and adoption of strategies to reduce bruise damage, it is of utmost importance to understand major factors influencing bruise susceptibility of fresh produce at these stages. This review presents a…

Plant Polyploidy: Origin, Evolution, and Its Influence on Crop Domestication

Kang Zhang, Xiaowu Wang, Feng Cheng · 1 Nov 2019

The prevalence and recurrence of polyploidization in plant species make it one of the most important evolutionary events in plants, and as a result, polyploidization is an extensively investigated research field. Due to the rapid development of sequencing technologies, there is increased evidence to support that polyploidization plays an important role in the diversification of…

Exogenous Melatonin Improves Physiological Characteristics and Promotes Growth of Strawberry Seedlings Under Cadmium Stress

Shuqing Wu, Yao Wang, Yao Wang et al. · 9 Jun 2020

Melatonin, as a plant growth regulator, is involved in plant stress resistance. We studied the effects of different concentrations (0, 10, 50, 100, 150, and 200 µmol · L−1) of melatonin on the growth and physiological characteristics of strawberry under cadmium (Cd) stress. The results represented that the growth of strawberry seedlings was inhibited under…

Light regulation of horticultural crop nutrient uptake and utilization

Jin Xu, Zhixin Guo, Xiaochun Jiang et al. · 23 Jan 2021

Plants demonstrate dynamic changes in molecular structures under fluctuating light conditions. Accumulating evidence suggests that light plays a vital role in plant growth and morphogenesis. In particular, light has a role in the absorption and utilization of nutrients in plants. Despite significant progress in understanding the mechanism of nutrient acquisition and assimilation, how light affects…

Carotenoid Pigment Accumulation in Horticultural Plants

Anna Hermanns, Xuesong Zhou, Qiang Xu et al. · 28 Oct 2020

Carotenoids are a group of widely distributed natural pigments. They give many horticultural plants the bright red, orange, and yellow colors, as well as the aroma and flavor. Carotenoids enhance the health value and represent an essential quality trait of horticultural products. Significant efforts have been made to correlate specific carotenoid production with pathway gene…
