TLDR
The recent availability of the inhibitor of ethylene perception, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), has resulted in an explosion of research on its effects on fruits and vegetables, both as a tool to further investigate the role of Ethylene in ripening and senescence, and as a commercial technology to improve maintenance of product quality.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Ethylene and Fruit Ripening
TL;DR: Recent developments in the regulation of fruit ripening are summarized with an emphasis on theregulation of ethylene synthesis, perception, and response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the postharvest soluble solids and sugar content of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit
TL;DR: In this review the factors, both pre-, post and at harvest that influence sugar content in fruits sold at market are broadly outlined and lines of investigation that may maximise the outcome of current practices and lead, long-term, to enhanced postharvest fruit sugar contents are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flavor quality of fruits and vegetables
TL;DR: In this paper, a postharvest life based on flavor and nutritional quality is shorter than that based on appearance and textural quality, and it is essential that good flavor quality be emphasized in the future by selecting the best-tasting genotypes to produce, by using an integrated crop management system and harvesting at the maturity or ripeness stage that will optimize eating quality at the time of consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functionalized Cyclopropenes As Bioorthogonal Chemical Reporters
TL;DR: A new chemical reporter-cyclopropene-that can be used to target biomolecules in vitro and in live cells is described that will facilitate efforts to tag diverse collections of biomolecule in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postharvest treatments of fresh produce.
TL;DR: The current status on postharvest treatments of fresh produce and emerging technologies, such as plasma and ozone, that can be used to maintain quality, reduce losses and waste offresh produce are examined.

1-Methylcyclopropene: a review
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the use of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) as an inhibitor of ethylene action is presented, which is a tool that can help scientists make major advances in understanding the role of the chemical in plants.

Inhibitors of ethylene responses in plants at the receptor level: Recent developments
Edward C. Sisler,Margrethe Serek +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular biology of fruit maturation and ripening.
TL;DR: This review attempts to coalesce recent findings in the areas of fruit development and ripening in Arabidopsis in terms of general mechanisms for signal transduction.
