“…The results of the present study showed that shortening the time from harvest to 1-MCP application could decrease the ethylene production. Decreasing the amount of ethylene production is important, because the ethylene can accelerate the ripening of pear rapidly [19]. In this work, pears had high values in ethylene production accompanied by fruit softening.…”

“…It could be explained by the fact that increasing the time from harvest to treatment enhanced the probability of the combination of ethylene and receptor; thus, ethylene could exert its action [2]. In addition, during 6 months of storage, there was the formation of new receptors; moreover, the ethylene combined with the new receptor rapidly induced ripening [19]. Therefore, 1-MCP applications at 5 and 7 d were less beneficial in maintaining the quality of the 'Bosc Kobak' pears compared to treatment at 3 d after harvest.…”

Information about 1-MCP application time on pears is crucial to optimize the schedule of treatment in commercial practice. In the present work, the effect of a 3, 5 and 7 d delay of 1-MCP treatment after harvest on ‘Bosc Kobak’ pears was investigated, with an emphasis on shelf life. Fruit was treated with 1-MCP (625 ppm) on the 3rd, 5th and 7th d after harvest for 24 h and then kept at 20 °C for 14 d or stored at 1 °C in normal atmosphere for 6 months. Ethylene, carbon dioxide production, flesh firmness, soluble solid content and color index was determined after 4 and 6 months of cold storage and an additional 7 d of shelf-life at 20 °C. Pears treated with 1-MCP had lower values in ethylene and carbon dioxide production after storage compared to the control group; in particular, fruit treated on the 3rd d after harvest obtained the lowest values. Moreover, flesh firmness of treated samples had a higher value than that of the others after cold storage and subsequent 7 d of shelf life at 20 °C. In addition, fruit treated on the 3rd d after harvest exhibited the slower change in surface color than that of other groups. However, 1-MCP treatment on the 5th and 7th d after harvest had a minor effect on firmness and surface color change after a long storage period. The effect of 1-MCP treatment depends on the time from harvest to application. The application of 1-MCP on the 3rd d after harvest obtained the highest efficacy. The results of this study provided information on scheduling the commercial 1-MCP application for ‘Bosc Kobak’ pears.

“…These findings suggested that the synergistic effects of SLs and ethylene may be persistent throughout plant growth. Previously it was concluded that, in the presence of an ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), CRT1 binds to the receptor, promoting the phosphorylation of EIN2, and therefore, blocking ethylene downstream signaling [ 145 ]. As such, there is a synergistic effect of SL on ethylene signaling, and it will be an interesting study to know the interaction among the SLs and ethylene under the application of ethylene inhibitor 1-MCP.…”

Strigolactones (SLs) represent an important new plant hormone class marked by their multifunctional roles in plants and rhizosphere interactions, which stimulate hyphal branching in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and seed germination of root parasitic plants. SLs have been broadly implicated in regulating root growth, shoot architecture, leaf senescence, nodulation, and legume–symbionts interaction, as well as a response to various external stimuli, such as abiotic and biotic stresses. These functional properties of SLs enable the genetic engineering of crop plants to improve crop yield and productivity. In this review, the conservation and divergence of SL pathways and its biological processes in multiple plant species have been extensively discussed with a particular emphasis on its interactions with other different phytohormones. These interactions may shed further light on the regulatory networks underlying plant growth, development, and stress responses, ultimately providing certain strategies for promoting crop yield and productivity with the challenges of global climate and environmental changes.

“…1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment can block ripening for long time, sometimes resulting in the evergreen behaviour. To ensure that ripening can reboot after long storage, increased storage temperature and ethylene gas are applied (Dias et al, 2021). Many pear cultivars can be stored for months with optimal conditions such as controlled, modified, or ultra-low oxygen atmosphere combined with low storage temperature (Dias et al, 2021).…”

Many pear cultivars can be stored for months with optimal conditions such as controlled, modified, or ultra-low oxygen atmosphere combined with low storage temperature (Dias et al, 2021). The benefit of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment was tested on many European pear cultivars and the result was affected by many factors including maturity stage, 1-MCP concentration, time of application, and the cultivar (Zhao et al, 2020;Dias et al, 2021).…”

This work aimed to evaluate the effect of ethylene treatment on ripening of 1-MCP treated pear after 6 months of cold storage. Pear treated with gaseous 1-MCP at 625–650 ppb for 24 h at 0 °C was stored at 0 °C for 6 months with normal air, and treated groups were exposed to 100 ppm ethylene at 20 °C for 24 h. After that, samples were kept at 0, 10, and 15 °C for 2 weeks. Stiffness, chlorophyll fluorescence, ethylene and CO2 production of fruit were investigated during 2 weeks. Application of ethylene resumed the ripening of pear after long term storage. The results showed that fruit treated with ethylene achieved more homogeneous surface colour in comparison with non ethylene treated pears. In addition, the ethylene and carbon dioxide production of ethylene treated pears had higher values than that of control. The ethylene treatment could accelerate the softening of pear. Temperature also has significant effect on ripening during storage. This study found that ethylene treatment could accelerate the normal ripening of 1-MCP treated pears.
