Furthermore, we analysed the expression of SlLoxC,
SlADH2, and SlAAT, which are involved in volatile compound
(such as hexanal) metabolism. Our data showed
that SlADH2 and SlAAT were both up-regulated by melatonin
treatment, whereas SlLoxC did not show a significant
response (Fig. 6B). The expression level of SlAAT markedly
increased by 8-fold under 50 μM melatonin treatment when
compared with CK
