Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Ethylene significantly increased electrolyte leakage.
- Observation Leakage was highest in distilled water.
- Intervention effect Ethylene increased polygalacturonase activity more than tenfold over six days.
- Observation Air-stored fruit showed little PG activity change over up to 120 days.
- Intervention effect Ethylene-exposed fruit cell walls showed acute ultrastructural damage.
- Mechanism Ethylene-associated PG-mediated breakdown apparently contributed to firmness decline and watersoaking.
- Mechanism Ethylene appeared to enhance membrane permeability.
