Exogenous MeJA modulates postharvest tomato aroma by suppressing JAs-ethylene signaling crosstalk
By considering the positive relationship between endogenous JA-Ile and ethylene levels in ripening fruit, our results imply that MeJA-mediated changes in aroma profile in red 'FL 47' tomatoes may result from mitigated endogenous JAs (especially JA-Ile) and ethylene biosynthesis and signaling transduction processes. These findings enhance understanding of hormone interactions in fruit quality formation and suggest potential applications for improving post-harvest tomato flavor.
