Abstract :The study was carried out to investigate the effect of methyl jasmonate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MeJA); treatments insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.5 and 1.0 mM MeJA); on quality characteristics such as weight loss, respiration rate, ethylene production, color, total phenolic content insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TPC);, total antioxidant capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TAC); and antioxidant enzyme activities of sour cherry fruit insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Prunus cerasus L. cv. ‘Kütahya’); during cold storage. Fruit were stored at 0±1 °C and 90±5% RH for 36 days. The results indicated that MeJA treatments showed higher levels of total phenolic content, total antioxidant capacity and quality and were also effective on superoxide dismutase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SOD);, catalase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAT);, ascorbate peroxidase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(APX);, malondialdehyde insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MDA);, ethylene production and respiration rate. In conclusion, 0.5 mM MeJA treatment showed the best maintaining of fruit quality among the concentrations of MeJA. It can be suggested that sour cherry could be stored successfully for 36 days at 0 °C following treatment of MeJA.
