Abstract
Black rot is a serious disease caused by Alternaria tenuissima (A. tenuissima) that affects winter jujubes. This study explored the effects of MeJA and MeSA on disease resistance in winter jujubes by regulating membrane lipid and reactive oxygen metabolism in response to A. tenuissima infection. MeJA and MeSA significantly reduced the disease severity in winter jujube, enhanced the activity and gene expression of antioxidant-related enzymes, inhibited the activity and gene expression of membrane lipid oxidation-related enzymes, delayed the decomposition of ascorbic acid, glutathione, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylinositol, inhibited the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, phosphatidic acid, and malondialdehyde, the production rate of superoxide anion and a rise in relative electrical conductivity, and maintained winter jujube cell membrane unsaturation (U/S). Compared with the sterile water treatment, the regulation of membrane lipid metabolism and ROS metabolism in winter jujube fruits by MeJA and MeSA could be a contributing factor to their enhanced resistance against A. tenuissima. The membrane lipid oxidation degree in the MeJA group was lower, indicating that MeJA had better application prospects in disease resistance and storing and preserving winter jujube than MeSA.
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.
