Abstract
Red drupelet reversion (RDR) is a physiological disorder that specifically affects blackberry fruits during their marketing. It is characterized by a change in color from black to reddish on the individual drupes, detrimenting their commercial value. The specific mechanism of this phenomenon is still being investigated, however, some reports suggest that the reversion phenomenon is related to the degradation of pigments in the fruit, which may be aggravated by mechanical damage as well as storage conditions. Although reports suggest that there is no significant alteration in the organoleptic properties of the blackberry due to the reversion, the visual appearance affects the perception of the quality of the fruit, reducing its commercial appeal and consequently generating economic losses. Regarding this, recent reports suggest that foliar treatments in pre-harvest stages with salicylic acid (SA) have been effective in maintaining the quality of blackberries in post-harvest stages. With this work, a mechanism of action of salicylic acid in the conservation of blackberries was investigated and proposed, with a particular focus on the incidence of red drupelet reversion in the fruit.
