“…The ethylene production rate of LR bananas showed a concomitant increase with the respiration rate, and two successive ethylene peaks were observed on the 17 th and 20 th days of storage, with the latter being more marked than the first one ( figure 3). Similar results were reported by Zhu et al [26] for naturally ripened 'Brazil' bananas, which showed two successive ethylene peaks during the course of ripening. In DR bananas the ethylene production rate also showed a parallel increase with the respiration rate.…”

“…Another possible reason for the excessive weight loss in LR bananas might be light-induced stomatal aperture, resulting in transpiration. Johnson and Brun [26] observed 646 ± 142 stomata cm −2 on the surface of Cavendish bananas and demonstrated that under high relative humidity (90%) green mature banana fruits can resume photosynthetic activity upon exposure to light.…”

-Introduction. In this study, the effect of continuous light treatment (24 µmol m −2 s −1 ) on the ripening of banana fruit [Musa spp. (AAA group, Cavendish subgroup) cv. Grand Nain] during postharvest handling was investigated. Materials and methods. The changes in physiological and physical parameters related to banana ripening such as the respiration rate, ethylene production rate, weight, colour, texture and sugar content were analysed during storage. Results and discussion. Light treatment accelerated the ripening of bananas, which was characterised by a shortened pre-climacteric period. Light-treated bananas reached a respiratory climacteric peak 8 days earlier than bananas stored in the dark. Similar delays were also observed in the onset of climacteric ethylene rise, colour change, texture loss and soluble sugar accumulation between bananas stored under continuous light and darkness. Light treatment led to excessive weight loss in bananas. At the climacteric peak, respiration and ethylene production rates were significantly higher in light-treated bananas than bananas stored in the dark. Also, significantly higher amounts of soluble sugars were accumulated in light-treated bananas than in bananas stored in the dark. Conclusion. Light treatment can be used as a method for accelerating ripening of green bananas, especially during retail display, in order to provide consumers with fruits at their best eating quality.Keywords: banana / Musa spp. / lighting / ripening stage / retail display / shelf life Résumé -Effet de la lumière sur le mûrissement de la banane au cours de sa manutention postrécolte. Introduction. L'effet de la lumière en continu (24 µmol m −2 s −1 ) a été étudié sur le mûrissement de la banane [Musa spp. (Groupe AAA, sous-groupe Cavendish) cv. Grande Naine] au cours de la manutention post-récolte. Maté-riels et méthodes. Les modifications des valeurs des paramètres physiologiques et physiques liés au mûrissement des bananes ont été suivies pendant le stockage : le taux de respiration, le taux de production d'éthylène, le poids, la couleur, la texture et la teneur en sucres des fruits. Résultats et discussion. Le traitement lumineux a accéléré le mûrissement des bananes, ainsi caractérisé par une période de pré-climactérique plus courte. Les bananes traitées à la lumière ont atteint le pic climactérique respiratoire 8 jours plus tôt que les bananes stockées à l'obscurité. Des retards similaires ont également été observés dans l'apparition du pic climactérique d'éthylène, le changement de couleur, la perte de texture et l'accumulation des sucres solubles, entre les bananes stockées à la lumière et dans l'obscurité continue. Le traitement lumineux a conduit à une importante perte de poids des bananes. À l'apogée du pic climatérique les taux respiratoire et de production d'éthylène étaient significativement plus élevés pour les bananes éclairées que pour les bananes stockées à l'obscurité. En outre les teneurs en sucres solubles étaient significativement plus élevées dans les bananes t...

“…In particular, 1‐MCP plus SA treatment significantly ( p < 0.05) suppressed the peaks by 43.8% and 36.0%. Zhu et al () considered 400 nl/L 1‐MCP can effectively delay the respiration rate and ethylene production of bananas. These above results were extremely similar with our present experimental results of bananas.…”

The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) combined with salicylic acid (SA) on the postharvest physiology and quality of bananas. Respiration rate, ethylene production, firmness, decay incidence, soluble sugar, soluble solid, color change, malondialdehyde (MDA), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities of bananas were examined. The results showed that 1‐MCP combined with SA treatment inhibited respiration rate, ethylene production, decay incidence, MDA content, soluble sugar, and soluble solids content. The combined treatment also delayed softness and color change of bananas compared to the untreated bananas. The efficiency of the combined treatment was better than that of 1‐MCP or SA alone. Furthermore, combination of 1‐MCP plus SA effectively enhanced SOD and CAT activities, and inhibited the increasing of POD activity in bananas. Therefore, our results suggested that 1‐MCP plus SA treatment may be an effective technology in extending the shelf life of bananas. Practical applications So far, there have been no reports on the influence of 1‐MCP combined with SA treatment on the postharvest physiology and quality of bananas during storage. The objective of this work is to investigate the efficiency of 1‐MCP plus SA treatment for improving postharvest physiological and quality and extending storage life, which provides theoretical guidance for the preservation of stored bananas.

“…Several chemicals regulate these ethylene-dependent characteristics either through the inhibition of ethylene synthesis or perception [aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG; Byers et al, 2005; Drake et al, 2006), aminooxyacetic acid (AOA; Broun and Mayak, 1981), diazocyclopentadiene (DACP; (Blankenship and Sisler, 1992), silver thiosulphate (STS; Hansen et al, 1996; Hoyer, 1998) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP; Drake et al, 2006; Zhu et al, 2015)], or through the release of ethylene from 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (Ethephon; Logendra et al, 2004; Drake et al, 2006). Treatment with inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis can reduce postharvest senescence of leafy vegetables (Able et al, 2003; Lomaniec et al, 2003) and increase shelf life of cut flowers and potted plants (In et al, 2015; Silva and Finger, 2015).…”

“…In climacteric fruit, preharvest treatment with inhibitors of ethylene biosynthesis can delay the initiation of ripening to increase fruit quality and reduce early fruit abscission of for example apple (Hofman et al, 2001; Drake et al, 2006), pear (Villalobos-Acuna et al, 2010), avocado (Hofman et al, 2001; Salazar-Garcia et al, 2006), mandarin (Nawaz et al, 2008), papaya (Hofman et al, 2001), and mango (Hofman et al, 2001). Conversely, postharvest treatment can reduce loss of fruit quality due to over-ripening (Drake et al, 2006; Zhu et al, 2015). Preharvest treatment with inducers of ethylene synthesis reduces the harvest window and increases crop uniformity (Logendra et al, 2004; Ampa et al, 2016).…”

1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a non-protein amino acid acting as the direct precursor of ethylene, a plant hormone regulating a wide variety of vegetative and developmental processes. ACC is the central molecule of ethylene biosynthesis. The rate of ACC formation differs in response to developmental, hormonal and environmental cues. ACC can be conjugated to three derivatives, metabolized in planta or by rhizobacteria using ACC deaminase, and is transported throughout the plant over short and long distances, remotely leading to ethylene responses. This review highlights some recent advances related to ACC. These include the regulation of ACC synthesis, conjugation and deamination, evidence for a role of ACC as an ethylene-independent signal, short and long range ACC transport, and the identification of a first ACC transporter. Although unraveling the complex mechanism of ACC transport is in its infancy, new questions emerge together with the identification of a first transporter. In the light of the future quest for additional ACC transporters, this review presents perspectives of the novel findings and includes considerations for future research toward applications in agronomy.
