Summary

Ethylene production was measured in greenhouse-grown babaco (Carica heilbornii nm pentagona) fruits throughout fruit development (between February and August). Ethylene production was high during the early stages of fruit development, decreased during later stages, and rose again when 40-50% of the fruit surface had turned yellow. Fruits harvested in August were stored at 1, 4 or 8 deg C and 80% relative humidity for periods of 1, 2 or 3 weeks. After removal from storage, the fruits were held at 20 deg C for 1 week. Several results are given.
