REGULATION OF ETHYLENE PRODUCTION BY RIPENING NECTARINE FRUIT AS INFLUENCED BY ETHYLENE AND LOW TEMPERATURE.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE RISE IN C2 H4 PRODUCTION DURING NECTARINE RIPENING AT 293 K (20 DEG C) WAS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INCREASE IN THE LEVEL OF 1-AMINOCYCLO-PROPANE-1-CARBOXYLIC ACID (ACC) AND ACC SYNTHASE ACTIVITY. C2 H4 TREATMENT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED C2 H4 PRODUCTION RATE, ACC ACCUMULATION AND ACC SYNTHASE ACTIVITY. ABILITY TO CONVERT ACC TO C2 H4 , HOWEVER, WAS REDUCED FOLLOWING C2 H4 TREATMENT. AN INCREASE IN TOTAL C2 H4 PRODUCTION AT 293 K FOLLOWING STORAGE OF NECTARINES AT 273 K (0 DEG C) FOR UP TO 4 DAYS WAS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ENHANCED ACC SYNTHASE ACTIVITY. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT C2 H4 PRODUCTION DURING RIPENING OF FRUIT HELD AT 273 K IS LIMITED BY SLOWED CONVERSION OF ACC TO C2 H4.
