“…In this study, 1-MCP diminished the loss of fruit firmness and TA in both cultivars, as compared with the control fruit. These results are consistent with those of previous studies reporting the positive effect of 1-MCP on the maintenance of flesh firmness and TA under air or controlled atmosphere storage (Bai et al, 2005; Watkins, 2008; Kim et al, 2018; Yoo et al, 2018). The trend of firmness and TA to decrease was similar between these attributes, with a high positive correlation with loss of fruit quality during storage.…”

“…Hence, fruit softening is a major problem in the marketplaces and causes economic loss to the growers. Fruit softening is generally a result of changes to the cell wall components (such as pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose), which are associated with activities of cell wall-degrading enzymes, such as polygalacturonase (PG), pectin methylesterase (PME), cellulase, β-galactosidase (β-GAL), and α--arabinofuranosidase (α-ARF) (Deng et al, 2005; Wei et al, 2010; Wang et al, 2015; Gwanpua et al, 2016; Chen et al, 2017a; Chen et al, 2017b; Lu et al, 2018; Yoo et al, 2018).…”

“…The benefit of using 1-MCP to delay fruit softening in apples had also been well documented (Watkins, 2006; Watkins, 2008; Kim et al, 2018). In apples, 1-MCP delayed fruit softening during storage by inhibiting ethylene production and activities of cell wall-degrading enzymes (Watkins, 2006; Lu et al, 2018; Yoo et al, 2018). Recently, Kim et al (2018) observed a reduction in the loss of firmness, TA, SSC, and water, accompanied by less fruit softening, during cold storage of 1-MCP-treated ‘Gamhong’ apple.…”

This study aimed to elucidate whether 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment delays the fruit softening mechanism associated with the fruit quality of the newly released apple cultivars “Summer King” and “Green Ball” during cold storage. For both cultivars, the fruit treated with 1-MCP exhibited lower internal ethylene concentration, higher firmness, and higher titratable acidity relative to the control fruit, in association with less fruit softening. In addition, the treated fruit significantly delayed fresh weight loss and reduction of soluble solids content, especially in “Green Ball.” Moreover, slower degradation of cell wall components (water-soluble pectin, sodium carbonate-soluble pectin, hemicellulose, and cellulose) was also observed in the treated fruit in comparison to the control fruit. Similarly, the enzymatic activities (of polygalacturonase, pectin methylesterase, cellulase, β-galactosidase, and α-L-arabinofuranosidase) that cause cell wall degradation were relatively lower in the treated fruit than in the control fruit for both cultivars, which was further proved by transcriptional analysis of the genes encoding the enzymes. Overall, the results suggested that the usage of 1-MCP is useful to delay fruit softening of the two cultivars during cold storage by delaying the degradation of cell wall components and enzymatic activities of cell wall hydrolysis.

“…Cell wall materials were extracted and determined using the methods of Yoo et al [16] and Yamaki et al [27]. Frozen tissue samples (of 10 g) were extracted with 100 mL of boiling ethanol for 40 min at 80 • C. The extracted residue was filtered through a filter paper (No.…”

“…Then, ethylene signaling is initiated upon its binding to the ethylene receptors [7,11]. The overproduction of ethylene during storage negatively affects fruit quality attributes, such as texture, flesh firmness, soluble solids content, and fruit acidity content, especially for climacteric fruits [12], as they are associated with softening-related cell wall hydrolase enzyme activities that control the fruit quality attributes [13][14][15][16]. Therefore, ethylene production in fruits needs to be effectively reduced to delay the deterioration of their quality attributes.…”

The effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on improving the storability of four apple cultivars (‘Hwangok’, ‘Picnic’, ‘Gamhong’, and ‘Fuji’) was investigated by analyzing the physiological and biochemical factors associated with their postharvest quality attributes. The flesh firmness, titratable acidity, and soluble solids content of the cultivars were higher in treated fruits than untreated fruits, while the opposite results were observed for ethylene production. In the treated fruits, the traits affected by 1-MCP varied depending on the cultivars used. Higher firmness and lower ethylene production were observed in the ‘Hwangok’ and ‘Picnic’ than ‘Gamhong’ and ‘Fuji’ cultivars. However, 1-MCP only affected weight loss in the ‘Gamhong’ cultivar, while the sugar content was affected in all of the cultivars except ‘Hwangok’. When analyzing cell wall hydrolase activities, 1-MCP differently affected the activities (β-galactosidase, α-galactosidase, β-glucosidase, α-mannosidase, β-xylosidase, and β-arabinosidase), with greater effects in the ‘Fuji’ and ‘Picnic’ cultivars and moderate effects in the ‘Gamhong’ and ‘Hwangok’ cultivars. In this study, the suppression of ethylene production by 1-MCP was positively associated with a transcriptional decrease in the ethylene biosynthesis genes MdACS1 and MdACO1. Overall, this study suggests that 1-MCP distinctly enhanced the storability of all apple cultivars, with a greater effect on ‘Hwangok’.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cold storage and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on fruit quality and storage potential of 'Summer Prince' and 'Summer King' apples. The fruits were treated with 1-MCP at a concentration of 1 μL/L for 18 h immediately after harvest, and stored for up to 6 months under cold storage (0℃). The fruit quality during cold storage showed that the loss of flesh firmness of untreated fruits was remained at 70 N for 'Summer Prince' apple up to 4 months and 60 N for 'Summer King' apple up to 2 months, and reduced down than those results after that. In 1-MCP treatment, both cultivars maintained flesh firmness over 70N even after 6 months of storage. Titratable acidity of untreated fruits decreased to 0.32% ('Summer Prince') and 0.31% ('Summer King') for up to 3 months, but 1-MCP-treated fruits still remained at 0.33% and 0.30% for up to 4 months of storage. Internal ethylene concentration (IEC) of untreated fruits was increased after one month in both cultivars, but IEC of 1-MCP-treated fruits was significantly lower than that of untreated fruits. Skin greasiness did not occur at all. Fruit weight loss and peel color variables (L*, a*, b*) tended to a little increase during cold storage. In case of 'Summer Prince' apples, 1-MCP-treated fruits exhibited a reduced weight loss and delayed change in redness (a*). Therefore, this study suggested that the storage potential of 'Summer Prince' and 'Summer King' apples at cold storage was estimated at 3 and 2 months, respectively, but this potential would increase for up to 4 months with 1-MCP treatment in both cultivars.
