Abstract:The changes of active oxygen species in ‘Brumal Jujube’flesh treated with 100 mg·L - 1 ABA or 100μg·L - 1 GA3 during cold storage 〔(0 ±2) ℃, 60 days〕, including the p roduction rate of superoxide anion, contents of malondialdehyde (MDA ) or H2O2 and activities of catalase (CAT) , peroxidase ( POD ) , polyphenoloxidase ( PPO ) and ascorbic acid oxidase (AAO ) , were investigated. The results showed that ABA increased the p roduction rate of superoxide anion, promoted the accumulations of MDA and H2O2 in ‘Brumal Jujube’during storage, the activity peaks of CAT, PPO and POD were advanced, and AAO activity kep t increasing, the content of total phenols decreased sharp ly, all of the parameters above were higher than those in control. They suggested that ABA treatment accelerated the senescence of‘Brumal Jujube’fruit. The effects of ABA on ‘Brumal Jujube’fruit were opposite to GA3.
