Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the synthetic analog of strigolactone , GR24 (SL), on the quality of tomato fruits. The surfaces of tomatoes ( Solanum lycopersicum cv. Micro-Tom) fruits were treated with different concentrations of SL treatments. The following concentrations were used: 0 (CK), 0.1 (T1), 0.5 (T2), (T3), 2 (T4), and 3 μmol L −1 strigolactone synthesis inhibitor (Tis108). The experiment was conducted over 3 d, from the 24th to the 26th day after the fruit setting (mature green fruit stage). The results demonstrated that, after 24 d of treatment, the soluble solids in the T3 treatment exhibited a notable increase of 13.48 % compared to the CK. In addition, the contents of soluble protein and vitamin C demonstrated significant elevations of 46.74 %, 35.04 %, 1.36 %, and 1.40 %, respectively, compared to the CK and Tis108 treatments. Accordingly, T3 treatment was identified as the optimal SL concentration for investigating the impact of SL treatment on sensory, nutritional, and flavor quality during fruit ripening. SL treatment upregulated the gene expression of SlAI , SlNI , SlSPS , and SlSS in the sucrose metabolic pathway. In addition, it promoted an increase in acid invertase (AI), neutral invertase (NI), sucrose synthase (SS), and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activities; accelerated the hydrolysis of sucrose; promoted the accumulation of fructose and glucose; and increased the total sugar content of fruits. Concurrently, SL treatment resulted in a notable reduction in the total acid content of the fruit, accompanied by an increase in the sugar-acid ratio. E-nose analysis also showed that SL treatment increased the characteristic aroma of fruits. In addition, the total amino acid content of tomato fruits was markedly enhanced following the SL treatment. On the 24th day, the total amino acid content of the SL treatment significantly increased by 16.04 % and 8.93 % compared to the CK and Tis108 treatments, respectively. Furthermore, the concentrations of phenolic acids and flavonoids in SL-treated fruits were markedly elevated compared to those observed in the CK and Tis108 treatments. SL has a considerable impact on enhancing the sensory quality, nutritional value, and flavor profile of tomato fruits.
