Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide on Growth, Development and Quality of Fruits: A Review

Siti Zuriani Ismail, Mohammad Moneruzzaman Khandaker, Nashriyah Mat and Amru Nasrulhaq Boyce

Abstract: There is increasing concern about the effects of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) on plant growth and development as well as fruit quality, worldwide. Hydrogen peroxide is produced predominantly in plant cells during photosynthesis and photorespiration and also in respiration processes. It is most stable of so-called Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and therefore, plays crucial role as signaling molecule in various physiological process. Increment of intra- and intercellular levels of H₂O₂ give effect on growth, development and quality of fruits with the optimum concentration of H₂O₂application. In this study the effects of H₂O₂on growth, development and quality of importance fruit production were discussed. The past research was also discussed about the effects of H₂O₂on germination of seedling until maturation, flowering and fruiting stage and fruit quality during pre-harvest and postharvest storage behavior.
