چکیده

Ripening of ;Tydeman's Early' apples (Malus sylvestris L.) assessed by the occurrence of the respiratory climacteric was delayed by succinic acid 2,2-dimethyl hydrazide (B-9) but not by 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC), each applied 14 days after bloom. B-9 also inhibited ethylene production by fruits exhibiting the climacteric rise. Inhibition of the climacteric by B-9 was overcome by exogenous ethylene, but the latter treatment failed to completely reverse the B-9 inhibition of endogenous ethylene production.In apple fruitlets harvested within 6 weeks of bloom, ethylene stimulated respiration but did not initiate a climacteric respiratory pattern, did not induce a color change, and did not give rise to any measurable increase in endogenous ethylene production. However, all of these changes did occur in more mature fruit. These data suggest that apples have 2 physiological stages with regard to their reaction to exogenous ethylene.

EPR of Gamma Irradiated Single Crystal of 2,2-Dimethyl Succinic Acid

The EPR technique has widely been used to identify the damage centers produced by high energy radiation [1, 2, 3]. The present work deals with 2,2-dimethyl succinic acid, 2,2-DMSA, HOOCCH2C(CH3)2COOH. Free radicals, produced by gamma irradiation of single crystals, were investigated between 120 and 300 KwithEPR spectra. The spectra were taken at 10-degree intervals for magnetic fields B applied...

The Jasmonate-Activated Transcription Factor MdMYC2 Regulates ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR and Ethylene Biosynthetic Genes to Promote Ethylene Biosynthesis during Apple Fruit Ripening[OPEN]

The plant hormone ethylene is critical for ripening in climacteric fruits, including apple (Malus domestica). Jasmonate (JA) promotes ethylene biosynthesis in apple fruit, but the underlying molecular mechanism is unclear. Here, we found that JAinduced ethylene production in apple fruit is dependent on the expression of MdACS1, an ACC synthase gene involved in ethylene biosynthesis. The express...

Influence of Plant Hormones on Ethylene Production in Apple, Tomato, and Avocado Slices during Maturation and Senescence.

Ethylene production by tissue slices from preclimacteric, climacteric, and postclimacteric apples was significantly reduced by isopentenyl adenosine (IPA), and by mixtures of IPA and indoleacetic acid, and of IPA, indoleacetic acid, and gibberellic acid after 4 hours of incubation. Ethylene production by apple (Pyrus malus L.) slices in abscisic acid was increased in preclimacteric tissues, dec...

Two FERONIA-Like Receptor Kinases Regulate Apple Fruit Ripening by Modulating Ethylene Production

Ethylene has long been known to be a critical signal controlling the ripening of climacteric fruits; however, the signaling mechanism underlying ethylene production during fruit development is unknown. Here, we report that two FERONIA-like receptor kinases (FERLs) regulate fruit ripening by modulating ethylene production in the climacteric fruit, apple (Malus×domestica). Bioinformatic analysis ...

Polyamines inhibit biosynthesis of ethylene in higher plant tissue and fruit protoplasts.

Ethylene production in apple fruit and protoplasts and in leaf tissue was inhibited by spermidine or spermine. These polyamines, as well as putrescine, inhibited auxin-induced ethylene production and the conversion of methionine and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid to ethylene. Polyamines were more effective as inhibitors of ethylene synthesis at the early, rather than at the late, stages ...
