Comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the delaying effect of naringin on postharvest decay in citrus fruit.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Naringin exhibits antioxidant capacity and can partially inhibit pathogens in many horticultural products, such as citrus fruit; however, the effects of naringin on the storage quality and mechanisms that regulate senescence in citrus fruit have not been comprehensively analyzed.

Methods and results

In this study, exogenous naringin treatment was found to significantly delay citrus fruit disease, decreasing the H₂O₂ content, increasing the antioxidant capacity and maintaining the quality of the fruit. Metabolomic analysis of citrus peel indicated the vast majority (325) of metabolites belonging to flavonoids. Moreover, the auraptene, butin, naringenin, and luteolin derivative levels within the phenylpropanoid pathway were significantly high
