Summary

From the results of the tests, the authors concluded that exposing kiwifruits to chilling temperatures (0-10 °C) for 12 days advanced ethylene biosynthesis and ripening compared with fruits held continuously at 20 °C. The advanced ethylene biosynthesis was due to increased ACS (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase) and ACO 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidoreductase) activities immediately upon rewarming of the fruits.
