Modulation of antioxidant defense and organic acid profiles in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) via salicylic acid and passive modified atmosphere packaging.

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
backgroundGreen bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a vegetable species characterized by its short postharvest storage life. This study investigated the effects of different doses of salicylic acid (SA; 1 and 3 mM), passive modified atmosphere packaging (passive MAP), and the combined applications of SA and passive MAP (hereafter SA + MAP) on postharvest physiological and biochemical changes in the 'Gina' and 'Gevaş' bean cultivars.
methodsPods were stored at 7ºC and 80 ± 5% relative humidity, and changes in respiration rate, external ethylene production, headspace gas composition (O
resultsThe study revealed significant physiological and biochemical differences between the 'Gina' and 'Gevaş' cultivars. In 'Gina', 1 mM SA + MAP was the most effective treatment for suppressing respiration, reducing it by 49% relative to the control, while external ethylene production under this treatment decreased by 30%. In 'Gevaş', 3 mM SA + MAP was the most effective treatment, reducing respiration and external ethylene production by 64% and 75%, respectively, compared with the control. Under these most effective treatment conditions, 'Gina' showed enhanced acid accumulation, with significantly higher oxalic (149%), succinic (55%), citric (40%), and fumaric acid levels (21%) than the control. Conversely, 'Gevaş' exhibited more pronounced changes in organic acid profiles, with greater depletion of fumaric (73%), succinic (79%), and tartaric acids (62%), while oxalic (97%) and malic acid levels (5%) remained above the control, and citric acid was maintained at a level comparable to the control. Furthermore, enhanced antioxidant defense effectively suppressed lipid peroxidation, reducing MDA levels by 41.8% and 69.4% relative to the control, respectively. Collectively, these findings indicate that the combined application of SA and passive MAP is an effective cultivar-specific strategy for maintaining postharvest quality during 25 days of storage in green beans.
