Kiwifruit is cold-sensitive and very susceptible to chilling injury (CI) during low temperature storage. In this study, kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis cv. Hongyang) were pre-treated by water dip for 10 min at 20 (control) or 35, 45, or 55 degrees C (heat pretreatments) and then stored at 0 degrees C for 90 days to investigate the effect of hot water treatments (HWT) on chilling injury tolerance. Results showed that 35 degrees C and 45 degrees C HWT alleviated but did not completely prevent chilling injury development. By contrast, 55 degrees C HWT increased symptoms of chilling injury. The 45 degrees C HWT was the most effective at reducing chilling injury index and incidence. Compared with the other HWT, fruit treated at 45 degrees C exhibited higher firmness and soluble solids content (SSC), and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) content, lipoxygenase (LOX) activity and ethylene production rate. C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element binding factors (CBFs) are key regulators in cold response. To investigate the molecular regulation of HWT on chilling tolerance of kiwifruit, a 637 bp CBF gene was identified and the relative expression of AcCBF was measured by RT-qPCR. In accordance with the effects of HVVT on physiological parameters of chilling injury, AcCBF expression level was highest in the 45 degrees C HWT. These results indicate that HWT at 45 degrees C for 10 min prior to low temperature storage is effective for alleviating symptoms of chilling injury in 'Hongyang' kiwifruit. (C) 2014 Elsevier BM.
