Post-Harvest Treatment with Methyl Jasmonate Impacts Lipid Metabolism in Tomato Pericarp ( Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Grape) at Different Ripening Stages.

TL;DR: In this paper, 1-methylcyclopropene and methyl jasmonate were used to stimulate the production of ethylene, carotenoids, and aroma compounds and accelerate fruit ripening.

1-Methylcyclopropene maintains postharvest quality in Norwegian apple fruit

TL;DR: This work confirms that 1-MCP postharvest treatment shows great potential for maintenance of apple cvs.

Efecto de emulsiones de cera y 1-metilciclopropeno en la conservación poscosecha de guanabana

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effect of three wax emulsions on the shelf life of soursop fruit: Carnauba Type III, carnauba with silicone oils, and candelilla, and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), alone or in combination with emulsion.
Book ChapterDOI

Postharvest flavor deployment and degradation in fruits and vegetables.

TL;DR: The chapter reviews the crucial roles of ethylene in post-harvest ripening and senescence, and the rapidly increasing utilization of 1-MCP treatments to delay the deterioration of fresh produce and extend storage life.

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.
