Effect of Postharvest Aminoethoxyvinylglycine, 1- Methylcyclopropene and Jasmonic Acid Treatments on Storability and Quality Maintenance of Apricot Fruit Cv. "Canino"

Abstract

The present study was performed on Canino apricots to study the effect of postharvest treatment with AVG 50, 100 mg/L, 500, 1000 µg/L 1-MCP and 50, 100 η mol JA on fruit physical, chemical and storability characteristics during cold storage at 1 1˚C and 905 % RH. All treatments significantly preserved fruit firmness, decreased fruit weight loss percent and slowed acidity decrement. 1-MCP and AVG delayed the color changes and reduced the decay percent. The most effective treatments to maintain fruit quality up to 30 days were 1-MCP at 1000 µg/L followed by AVG at 100 mg/L.

Preharvest Applications of Aminoethoxivinylglycine in Mangifera indica L. “Ataulfo” Variety in Two Contrasting Environments

“…It also influences the reduction of fruit drop [7], the improvement of the total yield [8], and the maintenance of fruit quality in apricots [9], apples [10], sweet cherries [11], and pears [12]; the response of different cultivars can vary significantly [13] and also depends on the dose applied [14].…”

Yield, Fruit Quality, and Storability of ‘Canino’ Apricot in Response to Aminoethoxyvinylglycine, Salicylic Acid, and Chitosan

“…For instance, application of AVG at 125 mg·L −1 decreased ethylene production rates and postponed the climacteric peak, while application at 250 mg·L −1 severely reduced ethylene production by 2–6-fold at the climacteric peak [ 34 ]. Previous reports have shown the role of AVG in reducing fruit drop, improving total yield [ 22 ], and maintaining the fruit quality of apricot [ 35 ], apple [ 22 , 36 ], sweet cherry [ 13 ], and pear [ 21 ].…”
