Melatonin treatment inhibits gray mold and induces disease resistance in cherry tomato fruit during postharvest

TLDR
In this article, the effects of melatonin treatment on the development of gray mold, disease resistance signals and phenylpropanoid pathway in tomato were investigated after the mature-green fruit were dipped in 0.1mM melatonin for 60min and subsequently stored at 22.5°± 1.1°C.

Prolonging the Shelf Life of Cherry Tomatoes by Pullulan Coating with Ethanol Extract of Propolis During Refrigerated Storage

TL;DR: In this article, an ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) was obtained, and its chemical composition was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD), and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC) were determined using the serial microdilution method.

Insights into the roles of melatonin in maintaining quality and extending shelf life of postharvest fruits

TL;DR: The multiple biological functions of melatonin in postharvest fruit were attributed to the induction and interaction with reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide and coordination with plant hormones and other signaling molecules, which enhanced antioxidant and defense systems, reduced oxidative damage, and maintained energy of postHarvest fruit.
