Exogenous melatonin delays oxidative browning in litchi during cold storage by regulating biochemical attributes and gene expression

Oxidative damage leading to loss of nutritional quality and pericarp discoloration of harvested litchi fruits drastically limits consumer acceptance and marketability. In the present investigation, the impact of postharvest melatonin application at different concentrations, i.e., 0.1 mM, 0.25 mM, an...
