Physical, chemical and sensory changes of refrigerated yellow pitahaya treated preharvest with 1-mcp

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of application of 0, 200 and 400 mg L-1 aqueous solution of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on preharvest yellow pitahaya (Selenicereus megalanthus Haw) was assessed.

Model based leak correction of real-time RQ measurement for dynamic controlled atmosphere storage

TL;DR: In this article, a method was developed to correct real-time measurements of the respiratory quotient (RQ) of pome fruit for gas leakage of a cool room, based on a general leakage model that was simplified by performing sensitivity analysis of the contribution of the pressure driven and concentration driven gas transport terms.

The Synergism of 1-Methylcyclopropene and Ethephon Preserves Quality of "Laiyang" Pears With Recovery of Aroma Formation After Long-Term Cold Storage.

TL;DR: Results showed that 1-MCP treatment could effectively maintain the quality of the “Laiyang” pear during cold storage, and the additional application of ethephon on fruits during shelf-life may be a promising way to restore volatile aromas in pear fruits after long-term storage.

Recovery of ethylene sensitivity and responses in carnation petals post-treatment with 1-methylcyclopropene

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increases in the transcript level of the ethylene receptor DcETR1 results in the recovery of ethylene sensitivity in carnation petals treated with 1-MCP, and that the transcripts fluctuate periodically in association with petal senescence and ethylene biosynthesis.

Application of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) for Delaying the Ripening of Banana: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review compiles and critically analyses the existing knowledge on the technological use of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and clarifies inconsistencies in different publications.

Inhibitors of ethylene responses in plants at the receptor level: Recent developments

TL;DR: Since 1-MCP apparently is non-toxic at concentrations that are active, it may in future be available for regulating the ripening of fruits and preventing the deleterious effects of ethylene in vegetables.

Responses of early, mid and late season apple cultivars to postharvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) under air and controlled atmosphere storage conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for commercial application of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to maintain quality of apples under air and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage conditions was investigated.

Differential Expression and Internal Feedback Regulation of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Synthase, 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Oxidase, and Ethylene Receptor Genes in Tomato Fruit during Development and Ripening

TL;DR: The results suggest that in tomato fruit the preclimacteric system 1 ethylene is possibly mediated via constitutively expressed LE-ACS1A and LE- ACS3 and negatively feedback-regulated LE-acS6 genes with preexisting Le-ACO1 and LE -ACO4 mRNAs as a result of a positive feedback regulation.

Herbivore-induced ethylene suppresses a direct defense but not a putative indirect defense against an adapted herbivore.

TL;DR: Because parasitoids of Manduca larvae are sensitive to the dietary intake of nicotine by their hosts, this ethylene-mediated switching from direct to putative indirect defense may represent an adaptive tailoring of a plant's defense response.

Application of 1-MCP and propylene to identify ethylene-dependent ripening processes in mature banana fruit

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at a preclimacteric stage and at intervals of 6, 12 and 24 hours after propylene treatment (HAPT) to initiate ripening.
