Abstract:
... This study aims to evaluate the effect of nitric oxide (NO) treatment under controlled atmosphere (CA) on quality of ‘Laetitia’ plums, mainly on internal browning. The experiment followed a completely randomized design, with five repetitions and a 25-fruit experimental unit. The evaluated treatments were: control (no NO); NO at 2 μL L⁻¹ (low dose) applied every 5 days of storage; NO at 5 μL L⁻¹ (m ...

Abstract:
... Electrochemical dechlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) to produce high-value ethylene is an efficient and economic strategy to reduce carbon emission. However, it is challenging to completely realize high-efficiency ethylene production due to the lack of high-performance catalysis. Herein, a directional freeze-casting and metal–organic framework-derived synergistic strategy was reported to con ...

Abstract:
... Both auxin signalling and programmed cell death (PCD) are essential components of a normally functioning plant. Auxin underpins plant growth and development, as well as regulating plant defences against environmental stresses. PCD, a genetically controlled pathway for selective elimination of redundant, damaged or infected cells, is also a key element of many developmental processes and stress res ...

Abstract:
... The purpose of this research was to develop a novel ethylene scavenger by combining pumice and potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) to preserve fruit and vegetables. The study showed that pumice with smaller particle sizes and lower relative humidity (RH) were favorable to ethylene adsorption. The optimal ratio was 1 g of pumice (<5 μm) to 100 mg of KMnO₄ with approximately 620 μL/g of ethylene adsorpti ...

Abstract:
... 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase (ACO) catalyzes the final step of ethylene biosynthesis. ACO proteins are also reportedly encoded by a multigene family. Although the presence of several ACO genes is suggested in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.), DcACO1 is the only ACO gene in which full-length cDNA has been isolated. This study aimed to clone another ACO gene in carnation flowe ...
ethyleneproduction, etc ; endosperm; ethylene; grain yield; seed development; seed growth; seed size; sporophytes; transcription factors; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Seed size critically affects grain yield of crops and hence represents a key breeding target. The development of embryo-nourishing endosperm is a key driver of seed expansion. We here report unexpected dual roles of the transcription factor EIN3 in regulating seed size. These EIN3 functions have remained largely undiscovered because they oppose each other. Capitalizing on the analysis of multiple ...

Abstract:
... The role of melatonin during the growth and ripening of apple fruit was studied using local varieties. The evolution of the growth and ripening parameters, including fruit size and weight, firmness, color change, sugar content, and ethylene production, was different in the five varieties studied, with yellow apples (Reineta and Golden) initiating the ripening process earlier than reddish ones (Teó ...

Abstract:
... The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pre-harvest application concentration, frequency, and timing of harpin β protein on quality attributes, nutrient uptake, and susceptibility to physiological disorders in ‘Bartlett’ and ‘d′Anjou’ pears. Split applications of 1.5 mg L⁻¹ harpin at 30 + 7 d before harvest (30 +7 DBH) resulted in higher fruit firmness (FF) and peel chlor ...

Abstract:
... Ethylene plays an important role in regulating the development and ripening of fruits, and ACS (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylicacid synthase) is the key rate-limiting enzyme in ethylene biosynthesis pathway. However, identification and functional analysis of ACS gene family in non-climacteric citrus have never been reported. In the present study, we identified eighteen probable CsACS genes from t ...
... One of the longest standing theories and, therein-based, regulation-model of plant root development, posits the inhibitory action of auxin (IAA, indolylacetic acid) on elongation growth of root cells. This effect, as induced by exogenously supplied IAA, served as the foundation stone for root growth regulation. For decades, auxin ruled the day and only allowed hormonal side players to be somehow i ...

Abstract:
... Delphinium flowers are highly sensitive to ethylene and its sepals abscise during senescence in association with an increase in 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO) activities and ethylene production in gynoecium and receptacle. Three ACS genes (DgACS1, DgACS2, and DgACS3) and three ACO genes (DgACO1, DgACO2, and DgACO3) of D. grandiflorum cv. Super Gran ...
... The increase in much required rice production through breeding programmes is on decline. The primary reason being poor filling of grains in the basal spikelets of the heavy and compact panicle rice developed. These spikelets are genetically competent to develop into well filled grains, but fail to do so because the carbohydrate assimilates available to them remain unutilized, reportedly due to poo ...
... In this study, the effects of n-decanoic acid (n-CA) or coconut oil (CCN) on the release of ethylene from V-type starch (VS) were investigated. Results of differential scanning calorimetry showed that adding n-CA or CCN into VS generated a starch–lipid complex. Results of scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy indicated that VS granules aggregated but oil films appeare ...
... The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of pre-harvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene-α-cyclodextrin in concentrated magnesium sulfate solution (1-MCP; Harvista™ 1.3 SC) to delay maturation of ‘Cripps Pink’ apple fruit. 1-MCP was sprayed at 0, 75, 150, 225 and 300 mg L⁻¹, seven days before the anticipated harvest time (DBAH). Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG, 124 mg L⁻¹, Retain ...

Abstract:
... Aroma is a crucial quality attribute of apple fruit, mainly determined by volatile compounds. However, to our knowledge, the physiological and molecular roles of brassinosteroids (BRs) in volatile compound biosynthesis had not been elucidated. In this study, 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) inhibited fruit firmness and ethylene production and delayed fruit ripening. Total soluble solids, fructose content, ...

Abstract:
... Effect of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS), a natural product of low-cost and non-toxic with high biological activities, on quality attributes of tomato during post-harvest storage was investigated. Mature green tomato fruit were treated with 0.5 g L⁻¹ COS and stored under room temperature. The results showed that COS was effective in improving fruit quality as revealed by redder color skin, higher ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Leaf senescence, the final stage of leaf growth and development, is regulated by numerous internal factors and environmental cues. Ethylene is one of the key senescence related hormones, but the underlying molecular mechanism of ethylene-induced leaf senescence remains poorly understood. RESULTS: In this study, we identified one AT-hook like (AHL) protein, AHL9, as a positive regulator ...

Abstract:
... Plants under pathogen attack produce high levels of the gaseous phytohormone ethylene to induce plant defense responses via the ethylene signaling pathway. The 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) is a critical rate-limiting enzyme of ethylene biosynthesis. Transcriptional and post-translational upregulation of ACS2 and ACS6 by the mitogen-activated protein kinases MPK3 and MPK6 are pr ...

Abstract:
... New strategies to reduce apple decay and maintain fruit quality during postharvest with low environmental impact are crucial. Thus, we aimed to assess the effects of pre-harvest foliar silicon (Si) application on decay incidence, metabolism, and overall fruit quality of ‘Galaxy’ apples at harvest and after cold storage. The experiments were performed during four seasons in commercial orchards and ...
... Fully ripe apricots (Iₐd < 0.1) were stored during 21 days at low temperature (1 ± 1°C) under different CO₂/packaging treatments: non treated, stored non‐packed after 24 hr in 100% CO₂, stored packed in 100% CO₂ and stored in commercial micro perforations (MAP) bags in which CO₂ concentration reached up to 7%. Obtained results were compared with fruits harvested in commercial ripening stage (Iₐd 0 ...
