组学技术与果蔬采后质量和安全控制

果蔬可以提供营养, 有利于人类健康, 而果蔬的后熟及其与环境的相互作用会影响果蔬采后的质量和安全。对果蔬生物学过程的了解和掌握是减少果蔬采后损失和保障果蔬采后质量和安全的关键。在过去的10多年, 基于组学技术的系统生物学在了解果蔬后熟及其与环境相互作用的分子机制方面得到了越来越多的应用。本文对此做了细致的总结, 指出了存在的不足, 并提出了未来的发展方向。

Omics technologies and postharvest quality and safety of fruits and vegetables

The postharvest fruits and vegetables can provide human being not only nutritional but also healthy components. During the process of ripening and interaction with environments, there are dramatic changes in the chemical composition of fruits and vegetables, which could significantly affect their postharvest quality and safety. To reduce the postharvest losses and guard the quality and safety, it is significantly important to understand the underlying biochemical processes at different levels. The last decade witnessed the increasing applications of omics-based system biology in understanding of the molecular mechanisms which were essen-tial for the ripening and interaction with environments. This review summarized in details the achievements and deficiencies of the omics-based system biology, and prospected the direction for its future study, with the hope to provide guidance for postharvest quality and safety control of fruits and vegetables.
