Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Without SADH, 2,4,5-TP moderately advanced ripening with increased ethylene production, softening and respiration.
- Intervention effect Without SADH, 2,4,5-TP prevented fruit abscission.
- Intervention effect Ethephon greatly advanced ripening, red color and abscission.
- Intervention effect Combined 2,4,5-TP and ethephon strikingly increased coloration.
- Intervention effect Combined 2,4,5-TP and ethephon produced the highest respiration, ethylene production and softening rates.
- Intervention effect Prior SADH reduced the effects of the other materials.
- Intervention effect Prior SADH delayed the apple coloring response to ethephon.
- Intervention effect SADH had a pronounced effect on endogenous ethylene formation.
- Mechanism The authors suggest SADH inhibits autocatalytic ethylene formation, possibly by maintaining membrane integrity.
