Efficiency of 1-MCP in Neutralizing Ethylene Effects in Cut Flowers and Potted Plants Following Simultaneous or Sequential Application

TL;DR: In this paper, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was applied to various ornamentals, with the aim of finding optimum application temperature, dose, and duration.

A transcriptomic analysis unravels key factors in the regulation of stay-green disorder in peel of banana fruit (Fenjiao) caused by treatment with 1-MCP

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the ripening of a Fenjiao banana was investigated, and it was found that 1MCP3200 significantly degraded the expression of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the peel and pulp.

Effect of 1-MCP on Gas Exchange and Carbohydrate Concentrations of the Cotton Flower and Subtending Leaf under Water-Deficit Stress

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of water-deficit stress on ethylene production in cotton have been investigated. But the results showed that 1-MCP application had no significant effect on gas exchange functions and did not prevent reductions from water stress in leaf photosynthesis, respiration and stomatal conductance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tools of the ethylene trade : a chemical kit to influence ethylene responses in plants and its use in agriculture

TL;DR: An extensive overview of the current toolbox of ethylene regulators, their discovery, function, and applications in both the agri- and horticultural field is presented in this paper.

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.
