Abstract
Abstract A 10-minute soak in 1.0 m m vitamin K 5 reduced ethylene production over 90%, while doubling carbon dioxide production by cortical tissue from pre-climacteric apples ( Malus domestica Borkh.). Reduced ethylene production persisted for at least 4 hours, while carbon dioxide production declined to rates not significantly different from the controls. Vitamin K 5 also reduced ethylene production by 50% from quartered fruit of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) at different stages of maturity, and from cortex tissue from apples at or near their climacteric peak of ethylene production.
