Abstract
In the present study, the mechanisms employed by exogenous melatonin applying for conferring chilling tolerance in tomato fruits during storage at 4â¯Â°C for 28â¯days were investigated. Conferring chilling tolerance in tomato fruits in response to exogenous melatonin applying at 100â¯ÂµM may arise from upregulating SlZAT2/6/12 giving rise to triggering CBF1 gene expression. Employing higher arginine pathway activity in tomato fruits by exogenous melatonin applying demonstrating by higher endogenous polyamines accumulation arising from higher ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and arginine decarboxylase (ADC) genes expression and enzymes activity, higher endogenous proline accumulation arising from higher pyroline 5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) and ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) genes expression and enzymes activity accompanying by lower proline dehydrogenase (PDH) gene expression and enzyme activity and higher endogenous nitric oxide (NO) accumulation arising from higher nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene expression and enzyme activity may be responsible for keeping safe membrane integrity.
