Lignin and anthocyanin contents of different methyl jasmonate (MeJA)-treated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Camarosa’) fruit at postharvest (0 hpi). Changes in (a) lignin and (b) anthocyanin contents in fruit subjected to different methyl jasmonate treatments during fruit development (C, M1, M2, and M3) and analyzed postharvest. Data were analyzed by ANOVA test, and differences between means ± standard error (SE) (n = 3) were determined using the LSD test. Asterisks indicate significant differences between treatments and control (* p < 0.05; *** p < 0.001). For experimental details, see the Materials and Methods section.
