- Intervention effect 1-MCP significantly reduced ethylene production relative to ethylene or control.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP significantly reduced fruit-softening enzyme activities.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP significantly reduced fruit weight loss.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP significantly reduced fruit softening.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP significantly reduced organic acids.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP maintained glucose, fructose and sucrose at higher levels.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP maintained malic, shikimic, succinic and citric acids at higher levels.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP delayed nectarine ripening relative to ethylene or untreated fruit.
- Mechanism The authors attribute delayed ripening to inhibited ethylene production and softening enzymes.
