FIGURE 4.

Changes in total anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin contents of preharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Camarosa’) fruit at post-harvest. Effect of different MeJA treatments (M1, M2, and M3) or water (control) on strawberry (A) total anthocyanin content (μg pelargonidin-3-glucoside equivalent per g of FW), and (B) total proanthocyanidin content (μg catechin equivalent per g of FW) during post-harvest storage. Data represent mean ± SEM (n = 9). Differences between treatments were determined by ANOVA and Tukey test. Different capital letters indicate a significant difference between treatments within each post-harvest time point, and different lower-case letters indicate significant differences of each treatment between time points during post-harvest (p ≤ 0.05).
