Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene on skin greasiness and quality of'Yuluxiang'pear during storage at 20℃

During storage at 20℃,specific pear cultivars may exhibit a greasy texture and decline in quality due to fruit senescence.Among these varieties,‘Yuluxiang’is particularly susceptible to peel greasiness,resulting in significant economic losses.Therefore,there is an urgent need for a preservative that can effectively inhibit the development of greasiness.Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)in extending the storage period of fruits.We hypothesize that it may also influence the occurrence of postharvest peel greasiness in the‘Yuluxiang’pears.In this study,we treated‘Yuluxiang’pears with 1-MCP.We stored them at 20℃while analyzing the composition and morphology of the surface waxes,recording enzyme activities related to wax synthesis,and measuring indicators associated with fruit storage quality and physiological characteristics.The results demonstrate that prolonged storage at 20℃leads to a rapid increase in skin greasiness,consistent with the observed elevations in L^(*),greasiness score,and the content of total wax and greasy wax components.Moreover,there were indications that cuticular waxes underwent melting,resulting in the formation of an amorphous structure.In comparison to controls,the application of 1-MCP significantly inhibited increments in L^(*) values as well as grease scores while also reducing accumulation rates for oily waxes throughout most stages over its shelf period,additionally delaying transitions from flaky-wax structures towards their amorphous counterparts.During the initial 7 d of storage,several enzymes involved in the biosynthesis and metabolism of greasy wax components,including lipoxygenase(LOX),phospholipase D(PLD),andβ-ketoacyl-CoA synthase(KCS),exhibited an increase followed by a subsequent decline.The activity of LOX during early shelf life(0–7 d)and the KCS activity during middle to late shelf life(14–21 d)were significantly suppressed by 1-MCP.Additionally,1-MCP effectively maintained firmness,total soluble solid(TSS)and titratable acid(TA)contents,peroxidase(POD),and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL)activities while inhibiting vitamin C degradation and weight loss.Furthermore,it restrained polyphenol oxidase(PPO)activity,ethylene production,and respiration rate increase.These findings demonstrate that 1-MCP not only delays the onset of peel greasiness but also preserves the overall storage quality of‘Yuluxiang’pear at a temperature of 20℃.This study presents a novel approach for developing new preservatives to inhibit pear fruit peel greasiness and provides a theoretical foundation for further research on pear fruit preservation.

Postharvest Application of 1-Methylcyclopropene Maintains Quality and Extends the Shelf-Life of Zizania latifolia during Storage at 25˚C

The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on postharvest quality of Zizania latifolia during storage at 25˚C were investigated. The results pointed out that a postharvest application of 1-MCP maintained the good visual appearance of fresh Z. latifolia, inhibited browning, mildew and weight loss at the bottom of Z. latifolia, and there is no significant changes on L, a*, b* and ΔE during the whole storage period. In addition, 1-MCP treatment inhibited the respiratory intensity of Z. latifolia during the first three days of storage, but it was significantly higher than that of the control on the sixth day of storage. Compared with the control, 1-MCP treatment maintained relatively high SOD, CAT, APX activities and low PAL, POD, PLD, lipase and LOX activities, delayed the decline of AsA content, reduced the accumulation of O2-, H2O2 and MDA, and ultimately maintained the integrity of cell structure and delayed the senescence of Z. latifolia. In addition, positive effects of 1-MCP on maintaining the cell structure integrity were observed in this investigation throughout the storage period at 25˚C.

Effect of Internal Ethylene and 1-Methylcyclopropene on Ethylene Metabolism and Membrane Lipid Peroxidation in Papaya Fruit

[Objective] This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 1-methylcy- clopropene （1-MCP） on fruit firmness, and the activity of the enzymes involved in ethylene metabolism and membrane lipid peroxidation. [Method] The nearly ripe fruits of the papaya cultivar Risheng were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Two groups were treated under hypobaric and hypoxic （HH） atmosphere condition for six hours, and immediately soaked in deionized water （HH alone）, or fumigated with 2.0 mg/L 1-MCP （HH＋I-MCP） for 24 h. The other two groups untreated under HH condition were also soaked in deionized water （negative control）, or fumigated with 2.0 mg/L 1-MCP （1-MCP alone） for 24 h. After that, the fruits of all the four treatments were stored at room temperature （23＋1） ℃. Cell membrane permeability, fruit firmness, respiration rate, ethylene release rate, SOD activity, POD activity, CAT activity, MAD content and LOX activity were measured once every three days during storage. [Result] Treatment with 1-MCP delayed the occurrence of the peaks of respiration rate and ethylene release rate, significantly reduced the accumulation of malondialdehyde （MDA）, and inhibited the decrease in papaya fruit firmness. Compared with the control, 1-MCP treatment significantly increased the SOD （su- peroxide dismutase）, POD （peroxidase） and CAT （catalase） activity, reduced the ac- tivity of lipoxygenase （LOX）, a product of lipid peroxidatlon in membranes, and in- hibited ethylene biosynthesis, thus delaying the aging process and prolonging the storage life of papaya fruits. [Conclusion] The results will provide a theoretical basis for analvzina the key factors controllinq postharvest maturity and aging of papaya fruits.

Mechanism and Kinetics of Thermal Dissociation of Inclusion Complex of β-Cyclodextrin and 1-Methylcyclopropene

The inclusion-complex of CD-MCP （β-cyclodextrin （β-CD） including 1-methylcyclopropene （1-MCP）） was prepared and characterized. Basing on programmed-heating procedure and weight-temperature analysis, as well as the application of Satava-Sestak＇s, Ozawa＇s and Kissinger＇s methods, the mechanism and kinetics of thermal dissociation of this inclusion complex were studied. An additional mass loss is found at 170-180℃. The mechanism of thermal dissociation of CD-MCP is dominated by a one-dimensional random nucleation and subsequent growth process （A2/3）. The activation energy Es and the pre-exponential factor AS for the process are 102.14 kJ/mol and 3.63×10^10s^-1, respectively. This ES value shows that there is no strong chemical intere, ctions between β-CD and 1-MC;P,

Preharvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene and Ethephon altered cuticular wax biosynthesis and fruit quality of apples at harvest and during cold storage

To investigate the roles of Harvista(a sprayable 1-methylcyclopropene,1-MCP,available component is 150 g·hm^(-2))and Ethephon(1 mL·L^(-1))applied at preharvest in apple(Malus domestica Borkh.'Golden Delicious')fruit cuticular wax biosynthesis,the expression of genes related to fruit cuticular wax biosynthesis and ethylene biosynthesis and signaling,ethylene production rate,respiration rate,wax constituents and structure,and fruit quality were determined at harvest and during cold storage.The results showed that 1-MCP inhibited the expression levels of ethylene biosynthesis and signaling-related genes,decreased fruit ethylene production,and inhibited the expression of Md LACS1,Md CER6,Md CER4 and Md WSD1,which resulted in decreases in alcohols,acids,and esters content in fruit cuticular wax.1-MCP also reduced fruit dropping rate from 17.17%to 12%;maintained fruit firmness,soluble solids,titratable acidity during cold storage;showed about as one fifth in the total length and one third in the widest width of wax crack as that in control at harvest.In contrast,Ethephon produced the opposite effects.In conclusion,1-MCP inhibited fruit ethylene biosynthesis and signaling,and influenced fruit cuticular wax biosynthesis.Thus,the fruit cuticular wax constituents and structure was altered,and the fruit quality were maintained at harvest and during cold storage.The results provide a new technology for improving apple fruit harvest and postharvest quality by preharvest application of sprayable 1-MCP.

Current progress in application of 1-Methylcyclopropene to improve postharvest quality of cut flowers

Floral senescence or petal abscission that determine cut flower quality and longevity are primarily caused by the regulation of endogenous ethylene and perception of endogenous and exogenous ethylene in floral organs(such as the petals and gynoecium),in ethylene-sensitive species.Several attempts have been made to prolong flower quality and longevity using silver ions and other chemicals that inhibit ethylene production and perception in floral organs.Among the available compounds,1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)has been increasingly used as ethylene-action/perception inhibitor because of its ability to inhibit ethylene action/perception and it is environmentally safe.Although 1-MCP has been used in several cut flower crops for about 25 years,there has been no review yet that critically emphasizes the benefits or difficulties of using this compound for the prolongation of cut flower quality and longevity.Here,we outline the role of 1-MCP in inhibiting ethylene action/perception and petal senescence in cut flowers through the blocking of receptor binding sites,and we discuss how various factors affecting efficacy of 1-MCP(such as concentration,treatment time and temperature,genotype,and flower stage)are involved in the achievement of flower longevity.Moreover,we highlight the advantages of applying nonvolatile and liquid 1-MCP formulation types,as opposed to using the conventional 1-MCP treatment(powder formulation type).We expect that this review will provide useful information for the future utilization of 1-MCP for the maintenance of cut flower longevity.

High Temperature and the Ethylene Antagonist 1-Methylcyclopropene Alter Ethylene Evolution Patterns,Antioxidant Responses,and Boll Growth in Gossypium hirsutum

The cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) crop experiences high temperatures during flowering and boll development, but information regarding the impact of ethylene inhibition and high temperature on early boll development is limited. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of high temperature and the anti-ethylene compound 1-methylcy-cloprone (1-MCP) on G. hirsutum boll development. Treatments consisted of temperature regime (38/20?C and 30/ 20?C), 1-MCP treatment, and days past anthesis (DPA). High temperature decreased ethylene synthesis by 61% at 2 DPA, and 1-MCP caused a 40% decrease in ethylene production at 1 DPA. Glutathione reductase activity increased under high temperature, whereas superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) and membrane peroxidation (malondialdehyde content) remained unchanged. 1-MCP treatment did not affect GR activity in developing bolls. High temperature and 1-MCP treatment increased the weight of cotton bolls collected 8 DPA with an increase of 0.7 and 1 g, respectively. We propose that increased GR activity in bolls exposed to high temperature may mitigate oxidative damage. Additionally, we conclude that ethylene inhibition (either high temperature or 1-MCP-induced) immediately after flowering (1 or 2 DPA) could potentially have positive impacts on early boll growth.

Effects of Exogenous Ethylene and 1-Methylcyclopropene on of DpXTH Gene Expression in Dahlia(Dahlia pinnata Cav.) Flowers

Objectives] This study was conducted to investigate the regulatory mechanism of ethylene on DpXTH gene expression in dahlia （ Dahlia pinnata Cav.） flower petals.[Methods] Dahlia flower petals were treated with ethephon （ETH） and 1-methylcyclopropene （1-MCP） at different flower development stages and for different durations in vivo . Then, the relative expression of DpXTH1 and DpXTH2 in flower samples in different treatments was quantified with real-time PCR, using β-actin as a reference gene.[Results] The expression of DpXTH1 and DpXTH2 in ETH- or 1-MCP-treated dahlia flower petals increased at first, and decreased subsequently with increasing duration of treatment. The relative expression of both DpXTH1 and DpXTH2 in ETH-treated samples reached the maximum level at 12 h. Moreover, the relative expression of both DpXTH1 and DpXTH2 in dahlia flower petals treated with ETH at early stage of flowering was higher than that of the samples treated at other flowering stages; in 1-MCP-treated samples, it was higher at full-flowering stage than at other stages. The maximum relative expression levels of DpXTH1 and DpXTH2 in ETH- and 1-MCP-treated samples were all higher than those of control.[Conclusions] Exogenous ethylene can accelerate the opening of dahlia flowers, and 1-MCP can inhibit this process, so they can be used to regulate development of dahlia flowers.

Effect of Internal Ethylene and 1-methylcyclopropene on Ripening of Papaya Fruit(Carica papaya L.)

With papaya fruit （ Carica papaya ） as an experimental material, variations of its physiological indices were investigated through hypobaric hypoxia （HH, 10 kPa, 1.5 kPa O 2） treatment followed by fumigation with 1-methylcyclopropene （1-MCP）, so as to discuss the effect of interaction between 1-MCP and internal ethylene on ripening of papaya fruit during postharvest storage. The results indicated that HH treatment significantly reduced internal ethylene concentration （IEC） by 57.6%. However, there were no remarkable differences in other physiological indices between various treatments and control （CK）. The 1-MCP and HH＋1-MCP treatments could significant postpone the softening process and color change of papaya fruit. The two treatments achieved the effects of significantly inhibiting the occurrence of fruit disease and the increase of pericarp cell membrane permeability, effectively delaying the variation of soluble solid and Vc contents, and better maintaining soluble solid and Vc contents in fruit, thereby better keeping nutritional substances and flavor quality in fruit in later storage period and prolonging the storage time of fruit.

Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene and modified atmosphere packaging on fruit quality and superficial scald in Yali pears during storage

The Yali pear（Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.） is susceptible to superficial scald during prolonged cold storage and at shelf life. This study investigated the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene（1-MCP） and modified atmosphere packaging（MAP） on changes of fruit quality and superficial scald during cold storage and at shelf life in Yali pear. Compared with MAP, the combination of MAP and 1-MCP（MAP＋1-MCP） treatment reduced the carbon dioxide and ethylene content inside the packaging bag. The 1-MCP, MAP, and MAP＋1-MCP treatments reduced the superficial scald index, malondialdehyde content, O2^-· production rate and relative conductivity and inhibited the accumulation of α-farnesene and conjugated trienes in the peel. 1-MCP and MAP＋1-MCP treatments maintained a higher phenolic content and enhanced the catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in the fruit, while reduced activities of lipoxygenase and polyphenol oxidase in the peel preceding the onset of superficial scald. Comprehensive analysis indicated that the MAP＋1-MCP treatment is the most effective method tested for improving the quality of Yali pears during cold storage and at shelf life.

Effects of 1-Methylcyclopropene on NO Content,NOS Activity,and H_2O_2 Content in Postharvest Suli Pears

Studies were conducted over the effects of 1-methylcycolpropene （1-MCP） treatment on postharvest life of Suli pears （Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.） stored at room and cold temperatures on nitric oxide （NO）,nitric oxide synthase （NOS） activity,and hydrogen dioxide （H2O2）.Results showed that the 1-MCP treatment had little effect on total soluble solids （TSS） at both room and cold temperatures.1-MCP delayed softening of Suli pear fruits,decreased respiratory rate and H2O2 accumulation,and increased NO and NOS activity at room temperature storage,while the effect of cold temperature storage was relatively inferior.There was a significant positive correlation between NOS activity and NO content.It is concluded that 1-MCP had effects on endogenous NO content and accumulation of H2O2.Similarly,H2O2 acting as a signaling molecule via regulating NO level affects the ripening and senescence of Suli pears.

Regulation of Propylene and 1-Methylcyclopropene on Expressions of ACS and ACO Genes in Persimmon Fruits

The regulation of postharvest treatment with propylene and 1-MCP on ethylene release rate and expressions of 1- aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid synthase （ACS） and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase （ACO） genes in Fuping Janshi persimmon （Diospyros kaki L.） fruit were investigated. Fruits were treated with propylene and 1-MCP, then stored at 20℃, ethylene release rate of the treated fruits was measured at regular intervals and RNA was extracted for Northern blotting analysis. The results suggested that treatment with propylene accelerated the expressions of ACS and ACO genes and then enhanced the ethylene biosynthesis, while treatment with 1-MCP inhibited the expressions of two genes and their ethylene biosynthesis. Furthermore, different effects on expressions caused by treatments with propylene and 1-MCP existed in various fruit tissues, the inhibitory effect on ACS and ACO genes by 1-MCP was the strongest in pericarp, followed by pulp and core tissues, in the area near fruit stalk, the inhibitory effect was the weakest. While the enhanced effect on ACS and ACO genes by propylene increased from pulp, core, and pericarp to the area near fruit stalk. Expression of each member of ACS and ACO families in various tissues was also completely different, in control and propylene treatment, DKACS3 gene just expressed in the area near fruit stalk and did not express in other tissues, but DKACS2 gene expressed in four tissues by treatment with propylene.

Integrative metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses reveal pivotal regulatory mechanisms of 1-methylcyclopropene in maintaining postharvest storage quality of‘Fuji’apples

In this study,integrative metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses were conducted to investigate the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)on apple fruit quality during long-term cold storage.The results showed that 1-MCP(1μL/L)treatment could maintain fruits apparent quality(i.e.external color and firmness),inhibit the increase of rot rate and soluble solids content/titratable acidity ratio,decrease ethylene release,and respiratory intensity during cold storage,and extend shelf life.Moreover,1-MCP had long-term effects on the accumulation of many qualities related to metabolite and gene expression in fruits.1-MCP affected genes related to metabolism at the early stage of storage,specifically those of the glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways.Genes related to the degradation of sucrose,starch,and cellulose were inhibited,and some starch and cellulose synthesis genes were up-regulated by 1-MCP.Apart from ethylene synthesis and signal transduction being inhibited by 1-MCP,several enzymes(pectinesterase,pectate lyase,polygalacturonase)were involved in pectin degradation,and degradation products of the cell wall(i.e.D-galacturonic acid and D-glucuronic acid)were also strongly inhibited,further maintaining fruit firmness.Cysteine,as precursor glutathione(GSH)related to plant resistance,up-regulated the synthase gene.However,the expression of genes related to cyanoalanine syn-thase and amino acid utilization pathways was suppressed by 1-MCP Collectively,1-MCP could maintain the postharvest quality of apple fruits.

Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene treatment on the quality of red‘Fuji’apples fruit during short-term storage

Objectives:The aim of this study is to determine the mechanism through which 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)affects the quality of red'Fuji'apples,which were stored for a short duration.Materials and Methods:Red‘Fuji’apples were treated with 1-MCP(1.0μl/L),stored at 25℃for0,12,24,48,72,and 96 h,and ethylene pro-duction was measured.An integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis was performed on apples stored for 24 h.Results:The release of ethylene was significantly delayed from red‘Fuji’apples subjected to 1-MCP treatment.By performing an integrated transcriptome and metabolome analyses,we identified 117 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)and 44 differentially accumulated metabol-ites(DAMs).By performing functional enrichment analysis,we found that DEGs were involved in the following pathways;carbon metabolism(LPD2,gpmA,LTA2,ACC,PSAT1,MdCAS2),phytohormone signal transduction(EBF 7),amino acid metabolism(MdACS-1),fatty acid metab-olism(LOX1.5,KCS4,KAST),energy metabolism(Lhcb1,Lhcb6,PsbY,GPDHC1,PUMP5I,metabolic pathways(TRE1,HEXO1)and cell wall metabolism(CSLG2).Thus,these DEGs were involved in the ripening of fruits,and they controlled the quality of fruits at the post-harvest stage.The metabolites were enriched with DAMs.These were found to be individually involved in the metabolic pathway,secondary metabolite bio-synthesis,phenylpropanoid biosynthesis,flavonoids,and flavonol synthesis.Conclusions:The results indicate that 1-MCP inhibits the biosynthesis of ethylene and suppresses energy metabolism.Moreover,it also downregulates metabolic pathways and the enzymatic genes related to fruit quality.Therefore,1-MCP delays the ripening of fruits at the post-harvest stage.This study helps us understand how 1-MCP treatment affects the ripening and quality of fruits.

1-Methylcyclopropene retards pak choi(Brassica rapa subsp.chinensis)yellowing via BcNAC055-,BcMYB44-,and BcOBF1-mediated regulation of the key chlorophyll degrading gene BcNYC1 during storage at 20℃

The objective of this study was to investigate the molecular regulatory mechanism of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)treatment on leaf yellowing of pak choi during storage at 20°C.In the present study,compared with the control and 10μL/L ethylene-treated pak choi,5.0μL/L 1-MCP fumigation alleviated the yellowing process of pak choi as proved by the maintenance of higher levels of colour,chlorophyll content,and appearance.1-MCP treatment decreased chlorophyll breakdown by downregulating the activity of chlorophyll-degrading enzymes(chlorophyll b reductase(CBR)and pheophytinase(PPH))and the expression of their related genes(BcNYC1 and BcPPH).The application of 1-MCP also inhibited the transcript abundance of ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction genes(BcACO,BcEIN3,and BcERF)and reduced ethylene production,thus helping to maintain the green colour of pak choi;however,ethylene treatment exerted the opposite function.Meanwhile,three transcription factors(BcNAC055,BcMYB44,and BcOBF1)were successfully cloned.Experiments performed using yeast one-hybrid assay,dual-luciferase reporter system and in vivo bioluminescence imaging assay,confirmed that BcNAC055,BcMYB44,and BcOBF1 directly bound to the BcNYC1 promoter.1-MCP inhibited the expression levels of BcNAC055,BcMYB44,BcOBF1,and BcNYC1 during storage,while the application of ethylene activated their expression.In conclusion,1-MCP downregulated the expression of the key chlorophyll degradation gene BcNYC1 by inhibiting the transcript level of its three positive regulators(BcNAC055,BcMYB44,and BcOBF1)and lowered the activity of chlorophyll-degrading enzyme CBR,thereby helping mitigate chlorophyll breakdown to retard leaf yellowing in pak choi.The results of this work extend our understanding of 1-MCP-delayed yellowing in postharvest pak choi.

Influences of 1-methylcyclopropene-containing papers on the metabolisms of membrane lipids in Anxi persimmons during storage

Objectives:The aim of this work was to analyse the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)treatment on the metabolisms of membrane lipids in postharvest Anxi persimmons during storage.Materials and methods:Anxi persimmon(Diospyros kaki L.f.cv.Anxi)fruits were treated by paper containing 1-MCP with a concentration of 1.35μl/l.The cellular membrane permeability was analysed by the electric conductivity meter.The activities of lipoxygenase(LOX),phospholipase(PLD)and lipase were determined by spectrophotometry.The component and relative amounts of membrane fatty acids were determined using gas chromatograph(GC).Results:The 1-MCP-treated Anxi persimmons manifested a lower electrolyte leakage rate,lower LOX,PLD and lipase activities,higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids(USFAs),higher ratio of USFAs to saturated fatty acids(SFAs)(U/S),higher index of USFAs(IUFA),but lower levels of SFAs.Conclusions:The degradation and the metabolisms of membrane lipids could be suppressed by 1-MCP treatment,which might be accountable for the delaying softening of postharvest Anxi persimmons during storage.

Paper-containing 1-methylcyclopropene treatment suppresses fruit decay of fresh Anxi persimmons by enhancing disease resistance

Objectives:The purpose of this work was to evaluate the potential application of papers containing 1-methylcyclopropene(1-MCP)postharvest treatment for suppressing fruit decay of fresh Anxi persimmons and its possible mechanism.Materials and methods:Anxi persimmon fruit were treated with papers containing 1-MCP at the dosage of 1.35μL/L and stored at(25±1)℃and 85 per cent relative humidity for 35 days.During storage,the fruit decay rate and lignin content were evaluated,and the content of total phenolics,the activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL),polyphenol oxidase(PPO),peroxidase(POD),chitinase(CHI),and p-1,3-glucanase(GLU)were determined by spectrophotometry.Results:The 1-MCP-treated persimmons displayed a lower fruit decay rate,but higher contents of lignin and total phenolics,higher activities of PAL,PPO,POD,CHI,and GLU.Conclusions:The treatment with 1-MCP could inhibit the fruit decay of postharvest Anxi persimmons,which might be because 1-MCP enhanced fruit disease resistance by increasing the activities of disease resistance-associated enzymes and retaining higher contents of disease resistance-related substances in postharvest fresh Anxi persimmons.These findings indicate that papers containing 1-MCP at the dosage of 1.35μL/L have potential application in suppressing fruit decay and extending storage life of postharvest fresh Anxi persimmons.
