Abstract
Fumigation with terpinen-4-ol (4OL) could enhance blueberry quality during postharvest storage in advance study. This work investigated the response of blueberry fruits to 4OL treatment based on transcriptomics. VcSPS2 was noticed not only by significant up-regulation but also due to its relation to sucrose metabolic pathways. Following this clue, the enzymes and genes related to sucrose metabolism pathway were tested on blueberry fruits after 4OL fumigation. The result showed that sucrose content 28 % improved, the sucrose synthesis genes expression up-regulated and enzymes activity increased, the sucrose degradation genes expression down-regulated and enzymes activity suppressed. Meanwhile, VcGLU3 associated with cell wall degradation was observed significantly down-regulated in transcriptomics. Moreover, the enzymes and genes related to cell wall degradation were verified and blueberry firmness were checked. The result indicated that firmness maintained well and the cell wall degradation genes expression down-regulated and enzymes activity suppressed. It indicated that 4OL could be a novel preservative in quality enhancement and retardation blueberry postharvest softening.
期刊介绍:
The journal is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research. This includes the areas of postharvest storage, treatments and underpinning mechanisms, quality evaluation, packaging, handling and distribution of fresh horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, flowers and nuts, but excluding grains, seeds and forages.
Papers reporting novel insights from fundamental and interdisciplinary research will be particularly encouraged. These disciplines include systems biology, bioinformatics, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, (bio)chemistry, engineering, modelling, and technologies for nondestructive testing.
Manuscripts on fresh food crops that will be further processed after postharvest storage, or on food processes beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will not be considered.
