Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Fruit calcium above 40 mg/100 g fresh weight inhibited ripening.
- Observation Calcium treated fruit showed no ripening after six weeks at 20°C.
- Intervention effect Ethylene application for three weeks did not reverse calcium inhibition.
- Intervention effect Calcium inhibited ripening after tomatoes had begun to ripen.
- Intervention effect Calcium halted further color change at any ripening stage.
- Intervention effect Calcium reduced respiration and ethylene evolution at any ripening stage.
- Intervention effect Manganese inhibited ripening as effectively as calcium.
- Intervention effect Cobalt inhibited ripening as effectively as calcium.
- Intervention effect Magnesium inhibited ripening as effectively as calcium.
- Intervention effect Sodium retarded ripening less effectively than calcium.
- Intervention effect Potassium retarded ripening less effectively than calcium.
- Intervention effect Silver inhibited color change as effectively as divalent metals.
