ABSTRACT Ethylene plays a crucial role in fruit ripening and is perceived by specialised receptor proteins embedded in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. As an ethylene antagonist, 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) binds to these receptors and delays papaya ripening, but improper use can cause ripening disorders.

Regulation of Ethylene Synthesis of Harvested Banana Fruit by 1 -Methylcyclopropene
Treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), a potent inhibitor of ethylene action, delayed the decrease in fruit firmness and the time in peaks of respiration and ethylene production rates, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) concentration, and ...

Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change in Spain is altering the optimal conditions for producing high‐quality ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit, due to reduced colour development in husk and arils. In addition, the pomegranate requires storage above 7–10 °C, depending on cultivar, to preserve its quality because it is susceptible to chilling injury (CI ...

Effect of 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) on the vase life of Chrysanthemum and Carnation cut flowers
The effect of 1-MCP on extending the vase life of chrysanthemum and carnation cut flowers was studied. The flowering stems of both flowers were terminated to 50 cm. in height.

ABSTRACT The ripening of climacteric fruits is characterised by a sharp increase in ethylene production, coinciding with the conversion of starch into soluble sugars. However, the regulatory interplay between ethylene and starch degradation in apple remains largely unclear. Here, we report a negative correlation between starch accumulation and ethylene

Effect of different postharvest treatments on shelf life and quality of two banana cultivars (Amritasagar and Mehersagar) in Bangladesh. Among the evaluated treatments, potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in unperforated polythene packaging effectively delayed ripening, increased total sugars and total soluble solids, and significantly extended shelf life ...

Shelf life of peaches treated with 1-methylcyclopropene [PDF]
Peaches [Prunus persica (L.) Bastch] present reduced post-harvest shelf life, partially, due to their high respiratory rate and fast ripening. These processes are related to ethylene production, as well as its action. Peaches, cv. Aurora-1, were picked at two different ripening stages (mature green and ripe) and treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)

Developmental Differences and Implications for Small and Large ‘Zesy002’ Kiwifruit
‘Zesy002’ (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis, sold commercially as Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit) now dominates the New Zealand kiwifruit industry and the global market for yellow‐fleshed kiwifruit. It is an inherently larger‐fruited cultivar than the traditional green‐fleshed “Hayward” fruit, with an average fruit mass of ∼120 g compared to ∼100 g for ...

Fruit Texture Measurement: A Review of Biological and Mechanical Interactions
Textural changes are an important aspect of fruit ripening. Accurate measurement of texture allows for a scientific understanding of fruit development including aspects of maturation and ripening, the effect of storage treatments, and the sensory acceptability for a range of fruit species.
