Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a crucial signaling molecule in plant biology, exhibiting diverse roles in growth, development, and stress responses. In recent years, its involvement in postharvest physiology has drawn significant attention, particularly in the context of fruit ripening, senescence, and quality maintenance. However, despite the increasing recognition of H2S's importance in postharvest processes, there remains a limited understanding of the specific molecular mechanisms by which H2S modulates these physiological responses and its interaction with other signaling pathways in fruit tissues. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of H2S in postharvest fruits, encompassing its biosynthesis pathways, regulatory mechanisms, and physiological effects. By identifying existing gaps in the current literature, such as the need for more targeted studies on H2S's synergistic effects with other phytohormones and its potential impact on different fruit varieties, this review elucidates the multifaceted functions of H2S and its potential applications in postharvest technologies aimed at prolonging fruit shelf-life and preserving quality.
期刊介绍:
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original theoretical, experimental and technical contributions in the various fields of plant physiology (biochemistry, physiology, structure, genetics, plant-microbe interactions, etc.) at diverse levels of integration (molecular, subcellular, cellular, organ, whole plant, environmental). Opinions expressed in the journal are the sole responsibility of the authors and publication does not imply the editors'' agreement.
Manuscripts describing molecular-genetic and/or gene expression data that are not integrated with biochemical analysis and/or actual measurements of plant physiological processes are not suitable for PPB. Also "Omics" studies (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) reporting descriptive analysis without an element of functional validation assays, will not be considered. Similarly, applied agronomic or phytochemical studies that generate no new, fundamental insights in plant physiological and/or biochemical processes are not suitable for publication in PPB.
Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishes several types of articles: Reviews, Papers and Short Papers. Articles for Reviews are either invited by the editor or proposed by the authors for the editor''s prior agreement. Reviews should not exceed 40 typewritten pages and Short Papers no more than approximately 8 typewritten pages. The fundamental character of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry remains that of a journal for original results.
