Integrated omics reveal the mechanisms underlying softening and aroma changes in pear during postharvest storage and the role of melatonin
This study indicated that degradation of cell wall caused pear fruit softening, lipoxygenase pathway mainly affected change of fruit aroma during postharvest storage and exogenous melatonin treatment could improve fruit firmness after storage and alter pear's aroma. The mechanism underlying these effects was elucidated, providing theoretical basis for study of pear fruit softening and preservation technology.
