“…Likewise, in the study by Watkins et al [14], for 'Delicious', 1-MCP in the preharvest period contributed to a lower IEC and higher firmness of apples, but it did not influence TSS. Additionally, in the studies by DeEl & Ehsani-Moghaddam, conducted for 'McIntosh' and 'Empire' [12] and 'Honeycrisp' cultivars [15], as well as by Yoo et al for 'Hongro' [33] and 'Fuji' cultivars [20], the higher firmness of apples was the major observation, except for the IEC.…”

“…However, there is also a possibility of using 1-MCP preharvest, being a quite novel option, studied so far only for few a cultivars, including 'McIntosh', 'Empire' [12], and 'Fuji' cultivars when combined with 1-MCP postharvest treatment [13], or alone for 'Delicious', 'Empire', 'Gala', 'Jonagold', 'Macoun', 'McIntosh' [14], 'Honeycrisp' [14,15], 'Golden Delicious' [16,17], 'Law Rome' [17], 'Scarletspur Delicious', 'Cameo' [18], 'Imperial Gala', and 'Royal Gala' cultivars [19], but not studied so far for 'Szampion' cultivar. Taking this into account, the aim of the present study was to assess the effects of preharvest 1-MCP treatment on the fruit quality parameters of cold-stored 'Szampion' apples in the Polish experiment.…”

Postharvest treatment by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) for ‘Szampion’ cultivar apples inhibits ripening of climacteric fruit by blocking ethylene receptors, preventing ethylene from binding and eliciting its action. It is also possible to apply 1-MCP preharvest, which so far has not been studied for the ‘Szampion’ cultivar. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of preharvest 1-MCP treatment on the fruit quality parameters of cold-stored ‘Szampion’ cultivar apples in a Polish experiment. Two identical groups of apple trees (6 years, experimental orchard in Warsaw) were included, to obtain studied apples (preharvest 1-MCP treatment with HarvistaTM, 150 g/ha, 7 days before the optimum harvesting window, OHW) and control apples (1-MCP not applied). Apples for the studied group were harvested twice—on 28 September (OHW) and 24 October (delayed harvesting)—and for control group once—on 28 September, as before 24 October the majority of apples fell from trees. Afterwards, apples were stored in an Ultra Low Oxygen chamber (1.2% CO2, 1.2% O2). Apples were assessed in the preharvest period (weekly, six measurements for the studied group, and five measurements for the control group) and postharvest period (monthly, three measurements separately for each harvest time for the studied group and control group). The following parameters were assessed: internal ethylene content (IEC), firmness, total soluble solids (TSS) content, starch index, Streif index, titratable acidity (TA), and color for blush. For the preharvest period, statistically significant differences between the studied group and the control group were observed for IEC, the a* coordinate of color (p < 0.05; for apples treated with 1-MCP lower results), firmness, Streif index, TA (p < 0.05; higher results), and starch index (p < 0.05; no defined trend). For the postharvest period, statistically significant differences between the studied group and the control group were observed for apples harvested in the OHW for firmness (p < 0.05; for apples treated with 1-MCP higher results) and IEC (p < 0.05; no defined trend), while for delayed harvesting the differences were only minor. It may be concluded, that preharvest 1-MCP application makes it possible not only to obtain better results for ‘Szampion’ cultivar apples’ quality parameters, but also allows delayed harvesting without deterioration in quality.

“…In climacteric fruits, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) has been widely used to inhibit ethylene production and maintain fruit quality attributes during storage [17][18][19]. However, the positive effect of 1-MCP on ethylene reduction and fruit quality maintenance still varies depending on the genotype [20][21][22].…”

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’.

“…Additionally, it inhibits the onset of ethylene production and alleviates chilling injury in pears during storage (Defilippi et al, 2010;Villalobos-Acuña et al, 2010;Sakaldas et al, 2016;Escribano et al, 2017). One advantage of pre-harvest versus postharvest application of 1-MCP (SmartFresh TM ) is that pre-harvest applications did not interfere with fruit softening (Varanasi et al, 2013;Yoo et al, 2019). Based on differences in fruit development, storability and response to ethylene, ' Bartlett' and 'd'Anjou' pears are grouped into summer and winter pears, respectively (Zhi et al, 2019).…”

Ethylene continues to be a major factor influencing quality of European pears during storage. Although research has been done on the effect of pre-harvest 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on physiological characteristics in pears, a full understanding of cultivar response and antioxidant metabolism remains elusive. Spraying 1-MCP on 'Bartlett' and 'd'Anjou' pears was studied with respect to physiology, storage and eating quality, disorders, and antioxidant properties at two harvest date (H1 and H2) during storage and ripening. Treatment with 1-MCP extended the harvest window of 'Bartlett' and 'd'Anjou' pears 3 and 4 days, respectively, without reducing storage or eating quality. Treatment with 1-MCP reduced ethylene production (EPR) and respiration rates (RR), maintained fruit firmness and green colour during storage and retarded development of desirable melting texture in both cultivars. Additionally, 1-MCP lowered the incidence of disorders by alleviating membrane lipid peroxidation, retaining high total flavonoids (TF) and antioxidant capacity, and enhancing superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity in both cultivars. Overall, pre-harvest 1-MCP applications could extend storage time of 'Bartlett' and 'd'Anjou' pears to 5 and 6 months, respectively, at À1.1 AE 0.5°C, by reducing ethylene synthesis and enhancing antioxidant metabolism.
