Utility of 1-methylcyclopropene as a papaya postharvest treatment

TL;DR: The postharvest utility of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) for papaya, Carica papaya L. (cvs. Gold and Rainbow) was determined as mentioned in this paper.

Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP) on ripening and resistance of jujube (Zizyphus jujuba cv. Huping) fruit against postharvest disease

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on senescence and induction of resistance against postharvest decay in jujube (Zizyphus jujuba cv. Huping) fruit were investigated.

Transcriptome profiling of ripening nectarine (Prunus persica L. Batsch) fruit treated with 1-MCP

TL;DR: A large-scale transcriptome analysis has been conducted using μPEACH1.0 microarray on nectarine fruit treated with 1-methylcyclopropene, finding altered transcript accumulation was detected for some genes with a role in ripening-related events such as softening, colour development, and sugar metabolism.

Effects of ethylene and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on lignification of postharvest bamboo shoot

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and ethylene on quality and lignification of postharvest bamboo shoot (Phyllostachys praecox f. prevernalis) were examined during storage at 20 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel type of dynamic controlled atmosphere storage based on the respiratory quotient (RQ-DCA)

TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic controlled atmosphere storage (RQ-DCA) was developed to control O 2 and CO 2 partial pressures in storage containers for apple fruit automatically, based on measurements of the stored fruit respiratory quotient.

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.
