Enhancement of Postharvest Life of Fruits by Application of Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid (SA), an inside plant growth manager, has been found to produce a expansive range of metabolic and physiological reactions in plants thereby affecting their development and development. SA as a everyday and safe phenolic compound, which exhibits a extreme potential in controlling postharvest misfortunes of fruit crops. In this review, various inborn biosynthetic pathways and effects of exogenic salicylic acid on respiration, antioxidant systems, ethylene biosynthesis operation, oxidative stress, nutritional characteristic, firmness, disease fighting and postharvest decay have also happened discussed. Salicylates (derivatives of salicylic acid) delay the ripening of products, probably through hindrance of ethylene biosynthesis or action, and maintain postharvest characteristic.
