Preharvest Application of Chitosan Improves the Postharvest Life of ‘Garmrok’ Kiwifruit through the Modulation of Genes Related to Ethylene Biosynthesis, Cell Wall Modification, and Lignin Metabolism

Preharvest Application of Chitosan Improves the Postharvest Life of ‘Garmrok’ Kiwifruit through the Modulation of Genes Related to Ethylene Biosynthesis, Cell Wall Modification, and Lignin Metabolism

The influence of the preharvest application of chitosan on physicochemical properties and changes in gene expression of ‘Garmrok’ kiwifruit during postharvest cold storage (0 °C; RH 90–95%; 90 days) was investigated. Preharvest treatment of chitosan increased the fruit weight but had no significant...
