Zusammenfassung:
Postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) reduces the availability and economic value of fresh produces, resulting in the waste of agricultural products and becoming a worldwide problem. Therefore, many studies have been carried out at the anatomical structural, physiological and biochemical levels and molecular levels of PPD of fresh produces to seek ways to manage the postharvest quality of fresh produce. The cell wall is the outermost structure of a plant cell and as such represents the first barrier to prevent external microorganisms and other injuries. Many studies on postharvest quality of crop storage organs relate to changes in plant cell wall-related components. Indeed, these studies evidence the non-negligible role of the plant cell wall in postharvest storage ability. However, the relationship between cell wall metabolism and postharvest deterioration of fresh produces has not been well summarized. In this review, we summarize the structural changes of cell walls in different types of PPD, metabolic changes, and the possible molecular mechanism regulating cell wall metabolism in PPD of fresh produce. This review provides a basis for further research on delaying the occurrence of PPD of fresh produce.
