Researchers explored how postharvest melatonin treatment affected antioxidant activity and GABA biosynthesis in stored peach fruit. They found that melatonin treatment helped maintain firmness, color, and sugar content in the fruit. It also decreased levels of harmful compounds while boosting antioxidant enzymes and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems. Melatonin treatment increased GABA content and up-regulated the expression of GABA biosynthesis genes while suppressing the degradation gene, promoting the accumulation of endogenous GABA. This study shows that melatonin treatment is an effective way to improve peach fruit quality.
