Myrica rubra Preharvest Treatment with Melatonin Improves Antioxidant and Phenylpropanoid Pathways During Postharvest Storage.

ABSTRACT: Myrica rubra is known for its popularity and robust nutritional value. While fresh Myrica rubra fruit is a perishable commodity, it has a short post-harvest life and is susceptible to fungal decay after harvest. Melatonin has been reported to delay the aging and quality decline of various fruits and vegetables after harvest. However, the effects of pre-harvest melatonin treatment on the maintenance of post-harvest quality and storage extension of fresh Myrica rubra fruit are still unclear. The impact of pre-harvest spraying of melatonin at different concentrations (100 μM, 300 μM, and 500 μM) on the fruit quality of Myrica rubra during storage at room temperature or 4 °C was investigated. The results indicated that in the final stage of storage, compared with th
