Effect of ethylene on quality of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Type d'article : Article

Résumé

Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant growth substance that has numerous effects on the growth, development and storage life of many fruits, vegetables and ornamental crops at microlitre/litre concentrations. Ethylene synthesis and sensitivity are enhanced during certain stages of plant develoment, as well as by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. Exposure may occur inadvertently in storage or transit from atmospheric pollution or from ethylene produced by adjacent crops. Intentional exposure is primarily used to ripen harvested fruit. The detrimental effects of ethylene on quality center on altering or accelerating the natural processes of development, ripening and senescence, while the beneficial effects of ethylene on quality center on roughly the same attributes as the detrimental effects, but differ in both degree and direction.
