Abstract

Low temperature storage is the most effective measure to delay the quality deterioration of fruits and vegetables after harvest.However, many cold sensitive fruits and vegetables are prone to chilling injury (CI) during long-term low temperature storage, seriously affecting their quality and storage life.Glycine betaine (GB), as an endogenous non-toxic small molecule osmoregulation substance in plants, has been shown to play an important role in maintaining the physiological quality and delaying the occurrence of CI of postharvest fruits and vegetables during low-temperature storage.This article reviews the research progress of GB in regulating CI in fruits and vegetables in recent years, analyzes the mechanism of GB in alleviating CI in fruits and vegetables by participating in osmotic regulation, maintaining cell membrane integrity, stabilizing antioxidant systems, regulating substance metabolism, improving energy metabolism, and enhancing transcription factor expression regulation.It also looks forward to further research on GB at the molecular level of CI control.
