Aqueous Formulations Of 1h-Cyclopropabenzene Modulate Ethylene Production And Fruit Quality In Japanese Plums, Poe N. Kyaw, Zora Singh, Vijay Y. Tokala
Research outputs 2014 to 2021
The efficacy of aqueous formulations of 1H-cyclopropabenzene (BC) containing different adjuvants to retard ethylene production and maintain fruit quality of Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindl. cvs. ‘Angeleno’, ‘Fortune’ and ‘Tegan Blue’) following 25 d and 40 d cold storage (1 °C) was evaluated. Plum fruit were sprayed with different solutions of 2 μM BC (i.e., aqueous solutions containing distilled water only or 5 % ethanol or 0.02 % Tween® 20 or 5 % β-cyclodextrin) or fumigated with 1 μM BC at ambient temperature. Plum fruit without any treatment were regarded as control. Regardless of the cultivars tested, all formulations of …
