Abstract
Kiwifruit ripening and senescence after harvesting are closely related to its economic value. Transcriptome analysis and biochemical parameters were used to investigate the differences in gene expression levels and the potential regulation of cell wall metabolism in kiwifruit treated with ozone, thereby regulating fruit softening and prolonging postharvest life. Compared to the control group, the activities of the cell wall modification enzyme were lower under ozone treatment, the content of polysaccharide in the cell wall of primary pectin and cellulose was higher, and the content of soluble pectin was lower. Meanwhile, ozone treatment delayed the degradation of the cell wall mesosphere during storage. A total of 20 pectinesterase (PE)-related genes were identified by sequencing analysis. The data analysis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction results confirmed that cell wall modifying enzyme genes played an important role in softening and senescence after harvesting, which may reduce or induce the expression of certain genes affecting cell wall metabolism. Ozone treatment not only regulates active genes such as xyloglucan endo glycosyltransferase/hydrolase, cellulose synthase, polygalacturonase, and PE to maintain the quality of fruit after harvest but also acts synergically with cell wall modifying enzymes to inhibit the degradation of cell wall, resulting in changes in the ultrastructure of cell wall, thereby reducing the hardness of kiwifruit. In addition, according to the results of cis-acting elements, cell wall degradation is also related to downstream hormone signaling, especially PE-related genes. These results provide a theoretical basis for studying the mechanism of firmness and cell wall metabolism difference of kiwifruit and also lay a good foundation for further research.

Abstract
Owing to its easy decomposition and residue-free properties, ozone has been used as an effective and environmentally friendly physical preservation method for maintaining the post-harvest quality of fruits. This study aimed to investigate the effects of ozone treatment on the levels of oxidative stress markers and the status of the antioxidant defense system in refrigerated kiwifruit. Additionally, the study aimed to identify the differences in gene expression levels and potential regulatory effects from the transcriptional level. The results showed that ozone treatment reduced the respiration rate, maintained the fruit hardness and storage quality, and inhibited the ripening and senescence of kiwifruit. Ozone treatment activated antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and catalase) and ascorbate-glutathione cycle to prevent the increase of reactive oxygen species levels (H2O2, O2-•) and malonaldehyde content, maintaining lower membrane lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation than the control treatment. Further analysis showed that the regulatory ability of ROS in kiwifruit treated with ozone was not only related to the synergistic effect of enzyme activity and gene expression related to the antioxidant oxidase system and the ascorbate-glutathione (ASA-GSH) cycle but also related to downstream hormone signaling. This study provides a foundation for understanding the potential effects of ozone treatment on the antioxidant cycle of kiwifruit and provides valuable insights into the molecular basis and related key genes involved in regulating ROS to delay aging in kiwifruit.

Abstract
Low-temperature storage is a widely used method for peach fruit storage. However, the impact of PpCBFs on pectin degradation during low-temperature storage is unclear. As such, in this study, we stored the melting-flesh peach cultivar "Fuli" at low temperature (LT, 6°C) and room temperature (RT, 25°C) to determine the effect of different temperatures on its physiological and biochemical changes. Low-temperature storage can inhibit the softening of "Fuli" peaches by maintaining the stability of the cell wall. It was found that the contents of water-soluble pectin and ionic-soluble pectin in peach fruit stored at RT were higher than those stored at LT. The enzyme activities of polygalacturonase (PG), pectate lyase (PL), and pectin methylesterase (PME) were all inhibited by LT. The expressions of PpPME3, PpPL2, and PpPG were closely related to fruit firmness, but PpCBF2 and PpCBF3 showed higher expression levels at LT than RT. The promoters of PpPL2 and PpPG contain the DER motif, which suggested that PpCBF2 and PpCBF3 might negatively regulate their expression by directly binding to their promoters. These results indicated that LT may maintain firmness by activating PpCBFs to repress pectin-degradation-related enzyme genes during storage.

Abstract
The most remarkable characteristic of European pears is extremely perishable and difficult to store after postharvest softening. Low-temperature storage is one of the most commonly used methods to prolong the shelf life of European pears. However, the regulatory mechanism of the low-temperature delay of the softening of European pears is still unclear. In this study, the fruit firmness, pectin polysaccharide content, pectin-degrading enzyme activity, and pectin degradation gene expression of 'Docteur Jules Guyot' pears under low temperature (LT) and room temperature (RT) were analyzed. It was found that water-soluble pectin (WSP) was significantly negatively correlated with fruit flesh firmness, and the activities of several pectin-degrading enzymes were inhibited under LT storage conditions. In addition, it was also found that the gene expression patterns of PcPME2, PcPME3, PcPG1, PcPG2, PcPL, PcGAL1, PcGAL2, PcGAL4, and PcARF1 were inhibited by LT. The C-repeat binding factors PcCBF1 and PcCBF2 were also inhibited by long-term LT storage. Correlation analysis showed that the expression of PcCBFs was positively correlated with pectin-degradation enzyme genes, and we found that the promoters of many pectin-degradation enzyme genes contain the CRT/DRE motif, which CBF can directly bind. Therefore, it is speculated that long-term low-temperature conditions inhibit pectin degradation through PcCBFs.

Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial players regulating many biological processes in plants. However, limited knowledge is available regarding their roles in kiwifruit ripening and softening. In this study, using lncRNA-seq technology, 591 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs (DELs) and 3107 DE genes (DEGs) were identified from kiwifruit stored at 4 °C for 1, 2, and 3 weeks in comparison with non-treated control fruits. Of note, 645 DEGs were predicted to be targets of DELs (DEGTLs), including some DE protein-coding genes (such as β-amylase and pectinesterase). DEGTL-based GO enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were significantly enriched in cell wall modification and pectinesterase activity in 1 W vs. CK and 3 W vs. CK, which might be closely related to the fruit softening during low-temperature storage. Moreover, KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that DEGTLs were significantly associated with starch and sucrose metabolism. Our study revealed that lncRNAs play critical regulatory roles in kiwifruit ripening and softening under low-temperature storage, mainly by mediating the expression of starch and sucrose metabolism and cell wall modification related genes.

Abstract
Rhyzopertha dominica is one of the most important stored grain pests that seriously damage rice and wheat. At present, the method of controlling stored grain pests mainly relies on insecticide fumigation. However, the excessive use of pesticides not only leaves pesticide residues, with harmful effects on human health and the environment, but also induces insect resistance. Ozone is a strong oxidant with the characteristics of easy decomposition and without residue. Although ozone has been widely used in the food industry in recent years, research on the control of stored grain pests is limited. In this research, we used ozone treatment to control R. dominica adults and explore the molecular mechanisms that affect them. Here, we found that ozone treatment on R. dominica adults could decrease life span and increase malondialdehyde (MDA) content, as well as reduce activity of total superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Using RNA-seq technology, we identified 641 genes that were differentially expressed between ozone-treated and control R. dominica adults [fold-change of ≥ 2 (q-value < 5%)]. When comparing ozone treatment with control R. dominica adults, 330 genes were significantly upregulated and 311 were downregulated. RT-qPCR confirmed that 11 genes were differentially expressed in ozone-treated and control R. dominica adults. These genes were involved in insect cuticle protein and antioxidant system. This research showed that ozone treatment could reduce the lifespan of R. dominica through antioxidant system. It is an environmentally benign method for the control of stored grain pests and has great development potential.

Abstract
Levels of ethylene, implicated in the induction of fruit ripening in a diverse array of plants, are influenced by genetic and environmental factors, such as other plant hormones. Among these, salicylic acid (SA) and its derivative, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), have been demonstrated to inhibit ethylene biosynthesis in fruit, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we showed that treatment with exogenous ASA dramatically reduced ethylene production, as well as activities of ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO), in kiwifruit tissues. Comparative transcriptome analysis indicated the differential expression of ethylene biosynthetic genes (AdACS1/2 and AdACO5). A screen of transcription factors indicated that AdERF105L and AdWRKY29 were ASA-responsive regulators of AdACS1/2 and AdACO5, respectively. In addition to these genes, AdACS3 and AdACO3 were abundantly expressed in both ASA-treated and control tissues. AdACS3 protein was phosphorylated and stabilized by AdMPK16, a mitogen-activated protein kinase, while AdACO3 activity was enhanced by AdAP, an aspartic peptidase. Exogenous ASA downregulated AdMPK16 and AdAP, thereby influencing ethylene biosynthesis at a post-transcriptional level. These findings led us to propose a multidimensional system for inhibition of ethylene biosynthesis by ASA, inducing differential expression of some ethylene biosynthesis genes, as well as differential effects on protein activity on other targets.

Abstract
Fruit is constantly challenged by wounding events, inducing accelerated ripening and irreversible metabolic changes. However, cognate mechanisms that regulate this process are little known. To expand our knowledge of ripening metabolism induced by wounding, an artificial-wound global transcriptome investigation combined with metabolite profiling study was conducted in postharvest kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa (A. Chev.) A. Chev. 'Hayward'). Wounding treatment promoted fruit ripening, as demonstrated by changes in fruit firmness, ethylene production and respiration activity determined periodically during a ripening period of 8 d at room temperature. Calcium imaging using fluorescent probe Fluo-3 AM revealed spatial dynamics of Ca2+ signaling in the wounding area following 8d ripening. Several sugars including fructose, glucose, and sucrose as well as organic acids such as citric, succinic and galacturonic acid were increased by wounding. Changes of various amino acids in wounded-treated fruit, especially 5-oxoproline and valine along with alternations of soluble alcohols, like myo-inositol were detected. Gene expression analysis of the wounded fruit showed increased expression of genes that are mainly involved in defense response (e.g., AdTLP.1-3, AdPP2C.1-2, AdMALD1), calcium ion binding (e.g., AdCbEFh, AdCLR, AdANX), TCA cycle (e.g., AdMDH.1, AdMDH.2, AdCS), sugars (e.g., AdSUSA.1, AdSPS4, AdABFr), secondary metabolism (e.g., AdPAL.1-3, AdCCR, AdHCT.1-2), lipid processing (e.g., AdGELP.1-4, AdGELP) and pectin degradation (e.g., AdPE.1-2, AdPAE.1-2, AdPG.1-2) as well as in ethylene (AdERF7, AdERF1B, AdACO.1-4) and auxin (AdICE, AdAEFc, AdASII) synthesis and perception. Moreover, genes related to aquaporins, such as AdAQP2, AdAQP4 and AdAQP7 were down-regulated in fruit exposed to wounding. These results demonstrate multiple metabolic points of wounding regulatory control during kiwifruit ripening and provide insights into the molecular basis of wounding-mediated ripening.

Abstract
Actinidia arguta (A. arguta) is a kind of climacteric fruit that quickly softens and limits fruit shelf-life and commercial value. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop kiwifruit genotypes with an extended shelf-life of fruit. However, the ripening and softening mechanisms remain unclear in A. arguta. Here, we demonstrated that a key polygalacturonase (PG)-encoding gene AaPG18 was involved in A. arguta ripening through the degradation of the cell wall. Fruits were harvested at three developmental stages (S1, S2, and S3) for high-throughput transcriptome sequencing, based on which two candidate transcripts c109562_g1 and c111961_g1 were screened. The genome-wide identification of the PG gene family assigned c109562_g1 and c111961_g1 to correspond to AaPG4 and AaPG18, respectively. The expression profiles of candidate genes at six preharvest stages of fruit showed significantly higher expression levels of AaPG18 than AaPG4, indicating AaPG18 might be a key gene during fruit ripening processes. The subcellular localization displayed AaPG18 was located at the cytoplasmic membrane. The transient overexpression of AaPG18 in strawberry and the following morphological observation suggested AaPG18 played a key role in maintaining the stability of cell morphology. The homologous transient transformation in A. arguta “RB-4” proved the crucial function of AaPG18 in fruit ripening processes by causing the rapid redness of the fruit, which was an indicator of fruit maturity. All in all, our results identified AaPG18 as a key candidate gene involved in cell wall degeneration, which provides a basis for the subsequent exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying the ripening and softening of A. arguta fruit.

Abstract
The mango is an important tropical fruit in the world, but it is easily perishable after harvest. In order to investigate the effect of the compound preservation technology on the physiology and quality of mangoes during transportation and storage, mangoes were treated with different packaging and preservation methods. All mangoes were subjected to simulated transportation by a vibration table for 24 h (180 r/min, 13 °C), and stored at 13 °C. The changes in the color, physicochemical characteristics, quality, and antioxidant-related enzymes of the mangoes were measured. The results show that the shelf life of inflatable bag packing (CK) was only 24 d, while the other treatments could be 30 d. The inflatable bag packing with modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) treatment (HPM) had the lowest yellowing degree (12.5%), disease index (34.4%), and mass loss (2.95%), at 30 d. Compared with the CK, the compound treatment containing MAP prolonged the peak respiration of the mangoes by 6 d and suppressed the increase in the total soluble solids and relative conductivity. Meanwhile, the HPM could effectively maintain moisture content, firmness, titratable acid, vitamin C, and the peroxidase and superoxide dismutase content, indicating that the treatment could maintain the better quality and antioxidation ability of mangoes. In summary, the MAP compound treatment better maintained the commercial characteristics of the mangoes, followed by the edible coating compound treatment. The results provide a theoretical reference for mango cushioning packaging and postharvest storage technology.

Abstract
Ethylene acts as an important hormone to trigger the ripening and senescence of fruits and vegetables (F&V). Thus, it is essential to eliminate trace ethylene and prevent F&V losses effectively. There are several technologies currently applying to control the ethylene concentration in the storage and transportation environment, including adsorption, gene modification, oxidation, etc. These protocols will be compared, and special attention will be paid to the low-temperature catalytic oxidation that has already been applied to practical production in this review. The active sites, supports, and reaction and deactivation mechanism of the catalysts for the low-temperature ethylene oxidation will be discussed and evaluated systematically to provide new insights for the development of effective catalysts, along with the suggestion of some perspectives for future research on this important catalytic system for F&V preservation.

Abstract
Fresh fruits and vegetables are highly perishable and are subject to large postharvest losses due to physiological (senescence), pathologic (decay), and physical (mechanical damage) factors. In addition, contamination of fresh produce with foodborne human pathogens has become a concern. Gaseous ozone has multiple benefits including destruction of ethylene, inactivation of foodborne and spoilage microorganisms, and degradation of chemical residues. This article reviews the beneficial effects of gaseous ozone, its influence on quality and biochemical changes, foodborne human pathogens, and spoilage microorganisms, and discusses research needs with an emphasis on fruits. Ozone may induce synthesis of a number of antioxidants and bioactive compounds by activating secondary metabolisms involving a wide range of enzymes. Disparities exist in the literature regarding the impact of gaseous ozone on quality and physiological processes of fresh produce, such as weight loss, ascorbic acid, and fruit ripening. The disparities are complicated by incomplete reporting of the necessary information, such as relative humidity and temperatures at which ozone measurement and treatment were performed, which is needed for accurate comparison of results among studies. In order to fully realize the benefits of gaseous ozone, research is needed to evaluate the molecular mechanisms of gaseous ozone in inhibiting ripening, influence of relative humidity on the antimicrobial efficacy, interaction between ozone and the cuticle of fresh produce, ozone signaling pathways in the cells and tissues, and so forth. Possible adverse effects of gaseous ozone on quality of fresh produce also need to be carefully evaluated for the purpose of enhancing microbial and chemical safety of fresh produce.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effects of Penicillium expansum (P. expansum) infection on the quality and flavor of Jinmi (JM) and Jinyan (JY) kiwifruit. Kiwifruit were inoculated with P. expansum and stored at 0 ± 1°C, and the changes in quality indicators and volatile substances (VCs) at different stages of disease were determined. Results showed that in wound-inoculated kiwifruit, the soluble solid content (SSC) increased. Conversely, their titratable acidity and vitamin C (VC) content, firmness, lightness, and saturation decreased. The taste-related parameters and nutritional value of kiwifruit declined after infection. VCs such as ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, and 2-methylisoborneol were detected only in the diseased fruit and gradually increased as the disease aggravated, suggesting that they may be the main sources of odor during P. expansum infection. Therefore, VCs detection can be used to determine possible P. expansum infection, as well as the degree of infection in kiwifruit. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In practical application, we can use the results of this study to determine possible Penicillium expansum infection, as well as the degree of infection in kiwifruit according to the indicators such as volatile substances. Kiwifruit enterprises can use the nondestructive detection model established in this study to screen out the kiwifruit infected with P. expansum more efficiently, quickly, and accurately, in order to prevent harm to the health of consumers.

Abstract
Ozone treatment was found to delay the postharvest cantaloupe melon decay and improve its intrinsic quality during the cold storage. The transcriptomes of cantaloupe peel and pulp in response to ozone treatment were investigated to reveal the mechanisms using a high-throughput RNA sequencing approach. Results showed that 570 and 313 differentially expressed genes were identified in peel and pulp, respectively. According to these identified genes, the gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the ozone treatment could maintain the firmness of the cantaloupe by changing pectin metabolites and reduction of the ethylene production by regulating relevant genes especially in the peel. The total flavonoid content changes in peel and pulp related to the regulation of phenylalanine ammonia lyase, 4-coumarate-CoA ligase and P450 family genes which further leading to the inhibition of phenylalanine metabolic pathway in peel but promotion of secondary metabolism in pulp. The qRT-PCR results were in accordance with our RNA sequencing results which validated the conclusions. The present study for the first time reveals the mechanism of cantaloupe in response to ozone treatment at a transcriptome level which is of importance for cantaloupe storage.

Abstract
Strawberries are highly popular around the world because of their juicy flesh and unique taste. However, they are delicate and extremely susceptible to peroxidation of their membrane lipids during storage, which induces water loss and rotting of the fruit. This study investigated the effects of ozone treatment on the physiological traits, active oxygen metabolism, and the antioxidant properties of postharvest strawberry. The results revealed that the weight loss (WL) and respiration rate (RR) of strawberry were inhibited by ozone treatment (OT), while the decline of firmness (FIR) and total soluble solids (TSS) were delayed. Ozone also reduced the generation rate of superoxide radical anions , and the content of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) enhanced the activity of superoxidase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), as well as promoted the accumulation of ascorbic acid (ASA), glutathione (GSH), and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP). In addition, a total of 29 antioxidant-related proteins were changed between the OT group and control (CK) group as detected by label-free proteomics during the storage time, and the abundance associated with ASA–GSH cycle was higher in the OT group at the later stage of storage, and the qRT-PCR results were consistent with those of proteomics. The improvement of the antioxidant capacity of postharvest strawberry treated with ozone may be achieved by enhancing the activity of the antioxidant enzymes and increasing the expression of the antioxidant proteins related to the ascorbic acid–glutathione (ASA–GSH) cycle. Strawberries are highly popular around the world because of their juicy flesh and unique taste.![]()

Abstract
The phytohormone ethylene is the main cause of postharvest spoilage of fruit and vegetables (F&V). To address the global challenge of reducing postharvest losses of F&V, effective management of ethylene is of great importance. This review summarizes the various ethylene scavengers/inhibitors and emerging technologies recently developed for the effective removal of ethylene released, paying particular attention to the ethylene scavenger/inhibitors containing catalysts to promote the in-situ oxidation of ethylene without inducing further pollution. Packing ethylene scavengers, such as zeolite, titanium dioxide and transition metals, in a small sachet has been practically used and widely reported. However, incorporating ethylene scavenger into food packaging materials or films along with the in-situ oxidation of ethylene has been rarely reviewed. The current review fills up this gap, covering the latest research progress on ethylene scavengers/inhibitors and discussion on the mechanisms of ethylene elimination and oxidation associated with F&V packaging.

Abstract
Ascorbate in leaf apoplast (ASCapo ) reacts with ozone (O3 ) and thereby reduces O3 flux reaching plasmalemma (Fpl ). Some studies have shown significant protection of cells from O3 by ASCapo , while others have questioned its efficacy. Hypothesizing that the protection by ASCapo depends on other variables, we quantified determinants of O3 detoxification with a model of O3 transport and reaction in apoplast. The model determines ascorbic acid concentration in apoplast (AAapo ) using measured values of O3 concentration (co ), leaf tissue ascorbic acid concentration (AAleaf ), cell wall thickness (L3 ), apoplastic pH (pHapo ), and stomatal conductance (Gsw ). We compared the measured and model-estimated AAapo in leaves of peach (Prunus persica) grown in open-top chambers under non-filtered air (NF) and elevated (EO3 : NF + 80 ppb) O3 concentrations. The estimated AAapo in individual leaves agreed well with the measured values (R2 = .91). Analyses of the simulation results yielded the following findings: (a) The efficacy of O3 reduction with ASCapo as quantified by fractional reduction (ϕ3 ) of O3 flux at the surface of plasmalemma (Fpl ) was lowered from 70% in NF to 40% in EO3 due to the reduction of L3 . The EO3 reduced AAapo , but the lower Gsw and L3 in EO3 increased AAapo resulting in no significant change in AAapo due to EO3 . ϕ3 can be calculated with measured values of AAapo and L3 , and Fpl can be estimated with the measurement-based ϕ3 . (b) When c0 is increased, Fpl increased curvilinearly with the increase of Fst : nominal O3 flux via stomatal diffusion, exhibiting apparent threshold on Fst . The deviation of Fpl from Fst became greater when L3 , pHapo , and AAleaf were increased. The quantification of ϕ3 and Fpl using leaf traits shall facilitate the understanding of the mechanisms of differential plant sensitivity to O3 and improve quantification of the O3 impacts on plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolites in kiwifruit greatly influence nutritional values; however, the dynamic changes in nutrient composition and the gene expression level of yellow kiwifruit have not been studied so far. To investigate the types and accumulation patterns of metabolites, a metabolomics approach utilizing liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and transcriptomics were used to analyze the yellow flesh of kiwifruit cultivar 'jinshi 1' collected at different stages of days after full bloom. RESULTS In total, 285 metabolites were identified over the kiwifruit developmental stages. The composition of the metabolites of kiwifruit at different stages of development was different. The organic acids contents and their derivatives were higher at the initial stage of development and then gradually decreased. The lipids and amino acids contents fluctuated at different stages of development but did not change significantly. Transcript profiles throughout yellow kiwifruit development were constructed and analyzed, with a focus on the biosynthesis and metabolism of compounds such as sugars, organic acids and ascorbic acid, which are indispensable for the development and formation of quality fruit. The transcript levels of genes involved in sucrose and starch metabolism were consistent with the change in soluble sugar and starch content throughout kiwifruit development. The metabolism of ascorbic acid was primarily through the l-galactose pathway. CONCLUSION Our metabolome and transcriptome approach identified dynamic changes in five types of nutrient metabolite levels, and correlations among such levels, in developing fruit. The results provide information that can be used by metabolic engineers and molecular breeders to improve kiwifruit quality. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Grapevines are widely planted around the world. Although grapes have high nutritional value, they are highly perishable. To explore the effect of ozone concentration on the postharvest quality of Muscat Hamburg grapes, the ethylene production rate, respiratory intensity, soluble solids, titratable acidity, firmness, threshing rate, total yeast and mold counts, and the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, polyphenol oxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase were determined, and the fungal metagenome on the grape surface was analyzed. Among the ozone treatment groups, 14.98 mg m-3 ozone showed a positive effect on grape preservation. After 80 days of storage, the contents of soluble solids and titratable acidity increased by 3.1% and 0.03%, respectively, compared with the control group. Over the same period, firmness increased by 4.22 N and the threshing rate decreased by 0.5%. During storage, the activity of polyphenol oxidase was inhibited and the activities of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, catalase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase were maintained, which delayed the senescence of grapes and maintained freshness. Ozone can reduce the number of fungi on the grape surface, change the colony structure, and reduce the occurrence of diseases. An ozone concentration of 14.98 mg m-3 can delay the senescence of Muscat Hamburg grapes and improve storage quality.

Abstract
Superficial scald is a major physiological disorder in apple fruit that is induced by cold storage and is mainly expressed as brown necrotic patches on peel tissue. However, a global view of the gene-protein-metabolite interactome underlying scald prevention/sensitivity is currently missing. Herein, we have found for the first time that cold storage in an atmosphere enriched with ozone (O3) induced scald symptoms in 'Granny Smith' apple fruits during subsequent ripening at room temperature. In contrast, treatment with the ethylene perception inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) reversed this O3-induced scald effect. Amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids, were the most strongly induced metabolites in peel tissue of 1-MCP treated fruits. Proteins involved in oxidative stress and protein trafficking were differentially accumulated prior to and during scald development. Genes involved in photosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis and ethylene signaling displayed significant alterations in response to 1-MCP and O3. Analysis of regulatory module networks identified putative transcription factors (TFs) that could be involved in scald. Subsequently, a transcriptional network of the genes-proteins-metabolites and the connected TFs was constructed. This approach enabled identification of several genes coregulated by TFs, notably encoding glutathione S-transferase (GST) protein(s) with distinct signatures following 1-MCP and O3 treatments. Overall, this study is an important contribution to future functional studies and breeding programs for this fruit, aiding to the development of improved apple cultivars to superficial scald.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among the challenges for postharvest researchers is that of understanding the physiological and biochemical pathways associated with postharvest fruit decay. Fruit senescence directly affects sensorial and nutritional quality during postharvest life. It has been clarified that reactive oxygen species and oxidative damage are responsible for fruit senescence. Some cultivars of yellow-fleshed kiwifruit can be stored for a short period compared with green-fleshed kiwifruit. Postharvest performance is affected by the physiological state of the fruit at harvest, associated with its postharvest management. Among several postharvest applications, ozone treatment is considered as a cost-effective and eco-friendly food-processing technology to preserve the fruits' quality during cold storage. In this study, we investigated the influence of ozone, after gradual cooling treatment, on the antioxidant defense system in Actinidia chinensis, 'Soreli'. RESULTS Bioactive compound content decreased during cold storage, and ozone treatment enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase during cold storage. This treatment preserved membrane integrity by inhibiting lipoxygenase activity and malondialdehyde accumulation. A multivariate statistical approach, using principal component analysis, provided the global response to the effect of ozone postharvest treatment during cold storage in kiwifruit 'Soreli'. CONCLUSION Ozone treatment improves the efficiency of antioxidative system and storability of 'Soreli' kiwifruits. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Ηeat and calcium treatments reprogram sweet cherry fruit metabolism during postharvest senescence as evidenced by changes in respiration, amino acid metabolism, sugars, and secondary metabolites shift. Heat and calcium treatments are used to improve postharvest fruit longevity; however, the exact mechanism remains poorly understood. To characterize the impact of these treatments on sweet cherries metabolism, 'Lapins' fruits were treated with heat or CaCl2 solutions and their combination and subsequently were exposed at room temperature, for up to 4 days, defined as senescence period. Single and combined heat and calcium treatments partially delayed fruit senescence, as evidenced by changes in fruit colour darkening, skin penetration force, and respiration activity. Calcium content was noticeably increased by heat in Ca-treated fruit. Several primary metabolites, including amino acids, organic acids, and alcohols, were decreased in response to both treatments, while many soluble sugars and secondary metabolites were increased within 1 day post-treatment. Changes of several metabolites in heat-treated fruits, especially esculetin, peonidin 3-O-glucoside and peonidin 3-O-galactoside, ribose, pyroglutamate, and isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside, were detected. The metabolome of fruit exposed to calcium also displayed substantial modulations, particularly in the levels of galactose, glycerate, aspartate, tryptophan, phospharate rutin, and peonidin 3-O-glucoside. The expression of several genes involved in TCA cycle (MDH1, IDH1, OGDH, SUCLA2, and SDH1-1), pectin degradation (ADPG1) as well as secondary (SK1, 4CL1, HCT, and BAN), amino acids (ALDH18A1, ALDH4A1, GS, GAD, GOT2, OPLAH, HSDH, and SDS), and sugar (PDHA1 and DLAT) metabolism were affected by both treatments. Pathway-specific analysis further revealed the regulation of fruit metabolic programming by heat and calcium. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of metabolic regulation in response to heat and calcium during fruit senescence.

Abstract
The impact of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation on sweet cherry fruit was studied. Following harvest, fruits (cv. Sweetheart) were exposed to different doses of UV-C (0, 1.2, 3.0 or 6.0 kJ m-2) and then cold stored (0 °C) for 10 days. Treatments with UV-C delayed most ripening features and reduced pitting symptoms, particularly following prolonged UV-C application. Also, application of the highest UV-C dose inhibited pectin degradation and delayed skin resistance to penetration. An activation of antioxidants capacity and bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and phenolics was observed. Illumination with UV-C diminished respiration and altered metabolite profile in whole fruit and skin samples. Several amino acids (eg., threonine and aspartate), sugars, (eg., glucose and fructose) and alcohols (e.g., inositol and mannitol) were modulated by long-term UV-C treatment in whole cherry fruit. Various metabolites, including malate, galacturonate, oxoproline and glutamine were also modulated by UV-C skin tissue. These data enhance our understanding of UV-C function in fruit biology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ozone has been used for improving the postharvest life of fruits and vegetables. Ozonation, an alternative decontamination method, can be applied effectively to perishable commodities immediately after harvest. Kiwifruit is a subtropical climacteric fruit that is less able to acclimate and is susceptible to low temperatures. In this study, we investigated the influence of ozone and different storage temperatures on the physico-chemical and qualitative features in Actinidia chinensis 'Soreli'. The fruits were treated with a continuous flow of ozone in air (300 ppb), stored at 2 and 4 °C for 60 days, and sampled every 15 days. RESULTS It was found that ozone treatment induced the ripening process; this was evident at the end of the storage, with higher soluble solids content for ozone-treated fruits at 2 and 4 °C. Storage temperatures and gaseous ozone treatment influenced in a different manner the bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, and carotenoids. Additionally, under gaseous ozone storage, microbial growth was delayed, improving the microbial quality index when the fruits were stored at the lowest storage temperature (2 °C). Principal component analysis highlighted that the effects of storage temperature on physico-chemical and bioactive compounds were greater than the postharvest treatment. CONCLUSION Storage temperature influenced the postharvest life of 'Soreli'. Storage at 2 °C and under 300 ppb gaseous ozone improved the yellow-fleshed fruit storage life. However, storage at 4 °C under 300 ppb gaseous ozone did not show advantages in preserving the fruit quality. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Investigations were made on the changes in physical and biochemical attributes, fruit decay and storage life of 'Winter Dawn' strawberry fruits in response to aqueous ozone dip treatment for different exposure times. Fruits were subjected to 0.1 ppm aqueous ozone for different time intervals (1-4 min). The treated strawberries were air dried and stored under ambient (25 ± 2 °C and 45-50% RH) and low temperature (2 ± 1 °C and 90% RH) conditions. Results revealed that treatment of strawberry fruits with aqueous ozone @ 0.1 ppm for 2 min resulted in 21% lower weight loss, 16% higher firmness and 15% lesser change in fruit colour during 2 days in ambient storage. Under low temperature storage, 2 min ozone treated fruits exhibited ~ 21% lower PLW, 19% higher firmness and 46% lesser colour change as compared to control fruits during 14 days of storage. Fruit decay reduced significantly under both low and cold storage conditions. Thus, it can be concluded that application of aqueous ozone for 2 min was able to retain the strawberry fruit quality and extend its storage life till 14 days under low temperature storage and 2 days under ambient storage conditions.

Abstract
Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward fruit is renowned for its micro- and macronutrients, which vary in their levels during berry physiological development and postharvest processing. In this context, we have recently described metabolic pathways/molecular effectors in fruit outer endocarp characterizing the different stages of berry physiological maturation. Here, we report on the kiwifruit postharvest phase through an integrated approach consisting of pomological analysis combined with NMR/LC-UV/ESI-IT-MSn- and 2D-DIGE/nanoLC-ESI-LIT-MS/MS-based proteometabolomic measurements. Kiwifruit samples stored under conventional, cold-based postharvest conditions not involving the use of dedicated chemicals were sampled at four stages (from fruit harvest to pre-commercialization) and analyzed in comparison for pomological features, and outer endocarp metabolite and protein content. About 42 metabolites were quantified, together with corresponding proteomic changes. Proteomics showed that proteins associated with disease/defense, energy, protein destination/storage, cell structure and metabolism functions were affected at precise fruit postharvest times, providing a justification to corresponding pomological/metabolite content characteristics. Bioinformatic analysis of variably represented proteins revealed a central network of interacting species, modulating metabolite level variations during postharvest fruit storage. Kiwifruit allergens were also quantified, demonstrating in some cases their highest levels at the fruit pre-commercialization stage. By lining up kiwifruit postharvest processing to a proteometabolomic depiction, this study integrates previous observations on metabolite and protein content in postharvest berries treated with specific chemical additives, and provides a reference framework for further studies on the optimization of fruit storage before its commercialization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the mechanisms involved in climacteric fruit ripening is key to improve fruit harvest quality and postharvest performance. Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. 'Hayward') ripening involves a series of metabolic changes regulated by ethylene. Although 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, inhibitor of ethylene action) or ozone (O3) exposure suppresses ethylene-related kiwifruit ripening, how these molecules interact during ripening is unknown. RESULTS Harvested 'Hayward' kiwifruits were treated with 1-MCP and exposed to ethylene-free cold storage (0 °C, RH 95%) with ambient atmosphere (control) or atmosphere enriched with O3 (0.3 μL L- 1) for up to 6 months. Their subsequent ripening performance at 20 °C (90% RH) was characterized. Treatment with either 1-MCP or O3 inhibited endogenous ethylene biosynthesis and delayed fruit ripening at 20 °C. 1-MCP and O3 in combination severely inhibited kiwifruit ripening, significantly extending fruit storage potential. To characterize ethylene sensitivity of kiwifruit following 1-MCP and O3 treatments, fruit were exposed to exogenous ethylene (100 μL L- 1, 24 h) upon transfer to 20 °C following 4 and 6 months of cold storage. Exogenous ethylene treatment restored ethylene biosynthesis in fruit previously exposed in an O3-enriched atmosphere. Comparative proteomics analysis showed separate kiwifruit ripening responses, unraveled common 1-MCP- and O3-dependent metabolic pathways and identified specific proteins associated with these different ripening behaviors. Protein components that were differentially expressed following exogenous ethylene exposure after 1-MCP or O3 treatment were identified and their protein-protein interaction networks were determined. The expression of several kiwifruit ripening related genes, such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACO1), ethylene receptor (ETR1), lipoxygenase (LOX1), geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGP1), and expansin (EXP2), was strongly affected by O3, 1-MCP, their combination, and exogenously applied ethylene. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the combination of 1-MCP and O3 functions as a robust repressive modulator of kiwifruit ripening and provide new insight into the metabolic events underlying ethylene-induced and ethylene-independent ripening outcomes.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gaseous molecule, is considered as a signaling agent, in parallel with other low molecular weight reactive substances, mainly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO), in various plant systems. New studies are now revealing that the postharvest application of H2S, through H2S donors such as sodium hydrosulfide (NaSH) or sodium sulfide (Na2S), can inhibit fruit ripening and senescence programs in numerous fruits. We discuss here current knowledge on the impact of H2S in postharvest physiology of several climacteric and non-climacteric fruits such as banana, apple, pear, kiwifruit, strawberry, mulberry fruit, and grape. Although there is still a considerable lack of studies establishing the mechanisms by which H2S signaling is linked to fruit metabolism, we highlight several candidate mechanisms, including a putative cross-talk between H2S and ethylene, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, oxidative/nitrosative stress signaling, sulfate metabolism, and post-translational modification of protein cysteine residues (S-sulfhydration) as being functional in this H2S postharvest action. Understanding H2S metabolism and signaling during postharvest storage and the interplay with other key player molecules would therefore provide new, improved strategies for better fruit postharvest storage. To achieve this understanding, postharvest fruit physiology research will need to focus increasingly on the spatial interaction between H2S and ethylene perception as well as on the interplay between S-sulfhydration/desulfhydration and S-nitrosylation/denitrosylation under several postharvest conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of postharvest gaseous ozone (O3 ) treatment on quality parameters and cell wall enzymes of cantaloupe melon cv. Caldeo during storage at 6 °C for 13 days. Fruits were kept in cold storage and treated with 0.15 ppm gaseous O3 during the day and 0.3 ppm overnight; control fruits (CK) were stored in normal atmosphere. RESULTS Firmness was higher and ethylene concentration significantly lower in O3 fruits compared with CK fruits. During storage, microbial counts were lower in both O3 and CK fruits; from day 9, O3 fruits showed a significant decrease in mesophilic aerobes. Additionally, total carotenoids had a tendency to be higher, with no significant differences between CK and O3 fruits. The same trend was observed for ascorbic acid, colour, total soluble solids content and acidity. Finally, O3 treatment reduced the activities of cell wall enzymes α-arabinopyranosidase, β-galactopyranosidase and polygalacturonase starting from day 3 of storage. Pectin methyl esterase activity did not seem to be affected by O3 treatment. CONCLUSION Gaseous O3 treatment during cold storage was effective in decreasing ethylene production and delaying fruit softening in cantaloupe melon by extending quality maintenance. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The fresh produce industry is constantly growing as a result of increasing consumer demand. Food quality and safety management are still major issues for the supply chain. The use of ozone has been identified as a feasible solution to reduce microorganisms present in food, in this way extending the shelf-life of fresh produce. A number of factors that may affect the efficiency of ozone treatment have been identified, e.g. microbial populations, ozone concentration and time of exposure, type of produce, temperature, relative humidity and packaging material, and they are briefly discussed. Furthermore, practical information derived from studies with ozone conducted by the authors and from their knowledge of the subject directs the reader's attention to the key aspects of ozone use under commercial conditions, i.e. from the practical point of view. Finally, one possible direction for future research with the postharvest use of ozone, i.e. the important role of fruit cuticle in response to this postharvest treatment, is indicated. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Kiwifruit [Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson, cv. "Hayward"] is classified as climacteric fruit and the initiation of endogenous ethylene production following harvest is induced by exogenous ethylene or chilling exposure. To understand the biological basis of this "dilemma," kiwifruit ripening responses were characterized at 20°C following treatments with exogenous ethylene (100 μL L(-1), 20°C, 24 h) or/and chilling temperature (0°C, 10 days). All treatments elicited kiwifruit ripening and induced softening and endogenous ethylene biosynthesis, as determined by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content and ACC synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) enzyme activities after 10 days of ripening at 20°C. Comparative proteomic analysis using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE-PAGE) and nanoscale liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS) revealed 81 kiwifruit proteins associated with ripening. Thirty-one kiwifruit proteins were identified as commonly regulated by the three treatments accompanied by dynamic changes of 10 proteins specific to exogenous ethylene, 2 to chilling treatment, and 12 to their combination. Ethylene and/or chilling-responsive proteins were mainly involved in disease/defense, energy, protein destination/storage, and cell structure/cell wall. Interactions between the identified proteins were demonstrated by bioinformatics analysis, allowing a more complete insight into biological pathways and molecular functions affected by ripening. The present approach provides a quantitative basis for understanding the ethylene- and chilling-induced kiwifruit ripening and climacteric fruit ripening in general.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite their importance in many aspects of plant physiology, information about the function of oxidative and, particularly, of nitrosative signalling in fruit biology is limited. This study examined the possible implications of O3 and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) in kiwifruit ripening, and their interacting effects. It also aimed to investigate changes in the kiwifruit proteome in response to SNP and O3 treatments, together with selected transcript analysis, as a way to enhance our understanding of the fruit ripening syndrome. METHODS Kiwifruits following harvest were pre-treated with 100 μm SNP, then cold-stored (0 °C, relative humidity 95 %) for either 2 or 6 months in the absence or in the presence of O3 (0·3 μL L(-1)), and subsequently were allowed to ripen at 20 °C. The ripening behaviour of fruit was characterized using several approaches: together with ethylene production, several genes, enzymes and metabolites involved in ethylene biosynthesis were analysed. Kiwifruit proteins were identified using 2-D electrophoresis coupled with nanoliquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Expression patterns of kiwifruit ripening-related genes were also analysed using real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-qPCR). KEY RESULTS O3 treatment markedly delayed fruit softening and depressed the ethylene biosynthetic mechanism. Although SNP alone was relatively ineffective in regulating ripening, SNP treatment prior to O3 exposure attenuated the O3-induced ripening inhibition. Proteomic analysis revealed a considerable overlap between proteins affected by both SNP and O3. Consistent with this, the temporal dynamics in the expression of selected kiwifruit ripening-related genes were noticeably different between individual O3 and combined SNP and O3 treatments. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that O3-induced ripening inhibition could be reversed by SNP and provides insights into the interaction between oxidative and nitrosative signalling in climacteric fruit ripening.

Abstract
This review focuses on the responses of the plant cell wall to several abiotic stresses including drought, flooding, heat, cold, salt, heavy metals, light, and air pollutants. The effects of stress on cell wall metabolism are discussed at the physiological (morphogenic), transcriptomic, proteomic and biochemical levels. The analysis of a large set of data shows that the plant response is highly complex. The overall effects of most abiotic stress are often dependent on the plant species, the genotype, the age of the plant, the timing of the stress application, and the intensity of this stress. This shows the difficulty of identifying a common pattern of stress response in cell wall architecture that could enable adaptation and/or resistance to abiotic stress. However, in most cases, two main mechanisms can be highlighted: (i) an increased level in xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) and expansin proteins, associated with an increase in the degree of rhamnogalacturonan I branching that maintains cell wall plasticity and (ii) an increased cell wall thickening by reinforcement of the secondary wall with hemicellulose and lignin deposition. Taken together, these results show the need to undertake large-scale analyses, using multidisciplinary approaches, to unravel the consequences of stress on the cell wall. This will help identify the key components that could be targeted to improve biomass production under stress conditions.
