Indole-3-acetic acid treatment enhances cold tolerance in kiwifruit by modulating cellular energy status and membrane lipid metabolism

Key Points

• Cold tolerance is enhanced through the modulation of cellular energy status and lipid metabolism.
• Treatment with indole-3-acetic acid positively influences membrane dynamics and overall fruit resilience.
• Observational analysis demonstrates significant changes in energy levels and lipid profiles with treatment.
• This intervention may suggest new methods for improving fruit preservation and marketability under cold stress.
