Effects of cold plasma, UV-C or aqueous ozone treatment on Botrytis cinerea and their potential application in preserving blueberry.

TL;DR: This study aimed to compare the effects of cold plasma, ultraviolet (UV‐C) and aqueous ozone (AO) on Botrytis cinerea and explore their application in preserving blueberry.

Effects of 1-MCP in combination with Ca application on aroma volatiles production and softening of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in combination with 0.6 and 1.0 µL−L−1 1-mCP on flesh firmness and aroma volatiles has been investigated on ‘Fuji’ apples stored at room temperature.

Encapsulation of the Ethylene Inhibitor 1-Methylcyclopropene by Cucurbit[6]uril

TL;DR: C cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) was used as the absorbent to encapsulate 1-MCP, and the resultant inclusion complex was characterized by IR, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and fluorescent spectra.

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) inhibits ethylene production of durian fruit which is correlated with a decrease in ACC oxidase activity in the peel

TL;DR: In this paper, monthong durian (Durio zibethinus Murr) were treated with 0 (control) and 500 nL−L−1 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at 25°C and were then stored at a temperature of 15°C.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
