Effects of strigolactone treatment on the components, quality and antioxidant activities of blueberries by Zhuo Min, Liang Zhao, Lu Jiang, Xinye Wang, Qing Liu, Yang Zhang

“…To explore the effect of strigolactone treatment on the preservation of blueberries, the ‘Bluerain’ variety was treated with rac-GR24, a synthetic strigolactone postharvest, and various physiological and biochemical indicators were analysed. The results showed that, compared with the control, GR24 treatment significantly inhibited the increase in weight-loss rate, decay incidence, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and H2O2 content of blueberries during storage; delayed the decrease in fruit firmness; effectively maintained the contents of soluble solids, titratable acids, ascorbic acid, total phenols and total anthocyanins; and improved the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the fruit. …”
