摘要： The antioxidant properties of 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) have the potential to maintain the quality of pak choi during storage. Therefore, the effect of 2-EH on pak choi during storage for 7 d at 20 degrees C and 90 % relative humidity (RH) was investigated. Results demonstrated that fumigation of pak choi with 2-EH maintained the quality of pak choi by reducing the respiration rate, ethylene generation, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), and electrolyte leakage, while increasing the level of total soluble solids (TSS), ascorbic acid, flavonoids, total phenolics, and alpha-linolenic acid, relative to the untreated control. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that 2EH mitigated chlorophyll degradation by up-regulating the expression of CRD1, POR, DVR, CHLP, and CHLG in the porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism pathways, and by down-regulating SGR2. 2-EH also increased antioxidant enzyme activity and up-regulated the expression of PAL, C4H, BRT1, CYP98A, CCR, FLS, and LDOX in the phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis pathways, increased phenolic content, and enhanced antioxidant capacity, thereby, mitigating excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The 2-EH treatment also up-regulated HPL1 and AOS genes in the alpha-linolenic acid metabolic pathway and down-regulated the expression of ACOX and MFP2, thus, increasing alpha-linolenic acid content and maintaining cell membrane structure. In summary, our study demonstrated that 2-EH maintained pak choi quality during storage and provided insights into the underlying molecular and metabolic changes associated with delayed yellowing of pak choi by 2-EH.
