To elucidate the regulatory role of NO treatment through DNA methylation in post\u2010harvest senescence, apricot fruits were treated with 0.2\u2009mmol\/L sodium nitroprusside (SNP) solution for 10 min, with distilled water treatment serving as the control. Treated fruits were then stored at 25\u00b0C and 80% relative humidity. Changes in appearance quality, physiological parameters, metabolome profiles, transcriptome dynamics, and DNA methylation patterns were analyzed before and after storage. Results showed that NO treatment delayed apricot softening, increased flavonoid metabolite accumulation, and reduced lipid and abscisic acid accumulation, with these effects correlated to the expression of specific genes and transcription factors. This work reveals the epigenetic regulatory mechanism underlying NO treatment delaying ripening and senescence. Further analysis revealed that the transcription levels of\n                    <jats:italic>ACO<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>PAL<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>UFGT\u2010like<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>NCED1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>PP2C<\/jats:italic>\n                    , MYB21,\n                    <jats:italic>CCoAOMT\u2010like<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>CYP707A<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>ZNF7\u2010like<\/jats:italic>\n                    were all correlated with DNA methylation.
