Cover Story: This study presents an innovative post-harvest management strategy for Hass avocados, applying a combination of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Avocados are climacteric fruits that are particularly susceptible to chilling injury during cold storage, which leads to significant quality deterioration. This research demonstrates that the combined application of GABA and 1-MCP not only delays ripening but also significantly reduces chilling injury and preserves membrane integrity. These results highlight a promising approach to extending the shelf life and maintaining the quality of Hass avocados, thereby enhancing their commercial value and potentially reducing post-harvest losses.
