Fatty acid metabolic flux and lipid peroxidation homeostasis maintain the biomembrane stability to improve citrus fruit storage performance

•A navel orange mutant ‘Gannan No.1’ has higher biomembrane stability and fruit quality during storage.•Higher unsaturation degree of fatty acids contributes to the membrane stability of citrus fruit.•The ascorbic acid-glutathione-tocopherol triad contributes to the anti-peroxidation of membrane lip...
