Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Cold storage with 1-MCP reduced apricot fruit softening.
- Association The effects on apricot fruit quality varied by genotype.
- Observation The 906–12 and Goldrich genotypes were most contrasting in ethylene production and fruit softening.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP reduced expression of apricot genes responsible for fruit softening, coloration, and some organoleptic characteristics.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP enhanced expression of apricot genes promoting antioxidant activity during ripening.
- Intervention effect 1-MCP suppressed PME, PG, and ACS genes linked to fruit softening.
