Nitric oxide delays yellowing by regulating chloroplast membrane lipid metabolism and the ascorbate-glutathione cycle in postharvest broccolini.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: NO plays an important role in regulating fruit and vegetable postharvest quality. However, its mechanisms of action in delaying postharvest yellowing of vegetables remains poorly understood. Methods: To elucidate this, we examined the effects of an NO scavenger (cPTIO), and an exogenous NO donor (GSNO), on broccolini postharvest yellowing. Furthermore, the mechanism by which NO delays the postharvest chlorosis process of broccolini was revealed through the membrane lipid metabolism and ascorbate-glutathione cycle pathways. Results: Evaluation of color and chlorophyll content revealed that GSNO treatment delayed yellowing by 4 days relative to the control. The chloroplast membrane remained well developed during the entire storage process following GSNO treatment, whereas it began to collapse 4 days after cPTIO treatment. GSNO maintained cell-membrane permeability, increased levels of chloroplast membrane lipids (monoglycosyldiacylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and digalactosyldiacylglycerol), improved Discussion: NO alleviated oxidative damage to the chloroplast membrane lipid system, thereby delaying broccolini yellowing. The results of this study may provide novel insights for developing postharvest quality control technologies for broccolini and the genetic improvement of broccolini varieties.
