Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Preharvest 1-MCP had minimal effects on apple maturity indicators.
- Observation Preharvest 1-MCP quality benefit declined for Law Rome fruit harvested at least 3 days after spray.
- Observation Preharvest 1-MCP quality benefit continued for Golden Delicious harvested up to 9 days later.
- Intervention effect Harvest-day gaseous 1-MCP restored delayed harvest effects in Law Rome.
- Mechanism The authors suggest attached fruit of some apple cultivars may rapidly generate new ethylene receptors.
