Role of ATP homeostasis in mitigating chilling injury of postharvest commodities.

Caption

Role of ATP homeostasis in mitigating chilling injury of postharvest commodities. A right balance between eATP generation and sufficient eATP scavenging is essential for generating sufficient iATP levels which may elevate energy pathways including, EMP, PPP, and TCA to mitigate PCI. Abbreviations: eATP, external adenosine triphosphate; iATP, internal adenosine triphosphate; EMP, Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas pathway; PCI, postharvest chilling injury; PPP, pentose phosphate pathway; TCA, tricarboxylic acid.
