“…Ethylene starts a cascade of events leading to many interactive signaling and metabolic pathways for the progress of ripening in climacteric fruits (Stepanova and Alonso 2005;Etheridge et al 2006;Barry and Giovannoni 2007). The production of aromas also depends strongly on the levels and action of ethylene (Golding et al 1998(Golding et al , 1999Rupasinghe et al 2000;Alexander and Grierson 2002;Flores et al 2002). On the basis of analysis of mutants of Arabidopsis, an ethylene signaling pathway has been proposed (Alexander and Grierson 2002;Klee 2004;Kendrick and Chang 2008).…”

The process of fruit ripening is normally viewed distinctly in climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. But, many fruits such as guava, melon, Japanese plum, Asian pear and pepper show climacteric as well as non-climacteric behaviour depending on the cultivar or genotype. Investigations on in planta levels of CO 2 and ethylene at various stages of fruits during ripening supported the role and involvement of changes in the rate of respiration and ethylene production in non-climacteric fruits such as strawberry, grapes and citrus. Non-climacteric fruits are also reported to respond to the exogenous application of ethylene. Comparative analysis of plant-attached and plant-detached fruits did not show similarity in their ripening behaviour. This disparity is being explained in view of 1. Hypothetical ripening inhibitor, 2. Differences in the production, release and endogenous levels of ethylene, 3. Sensitivity of fruits towards ethylene and 4. Variations in the gaseous microenvironment among fruits and their varieties. Detailed studies on genetic and inheritance patterns along with the application of '-omics' research indicated that ethylene-dependent and ethylene-independent pathways coexist in both climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. Auxin levels also interact with ethylene in regulating ripening. These findings therefore reveal that the classification of fruits based on climacteric rise and/or ethylene production status is not very distinct or perfect. However, presence of a characteristic rise in CO 2 levels and a burst in ethylene production in some non-climacteric fruits as well as the presence of system 2 of ethylene production point to a ubiquitous role for ethylene in fruit ripening.

But, Zhu et al (2005) made it clear that production of aromatic volatiles may or may not be totally dependent on ethylene.…”

Role of internal atmosphere on fruit ripening and storability—a review

Concentrations of different gases and volatiles present or produced inside a fruit are determined by the permeability of the fruit tissue to these compounds. Primarily, surface morphology and anatomical features of a given fruit determine the degree of permeance across the fruit. Species and varietal variability in surface characteristics and anatomical features therefore influence not only the diffusibility of gases and volatiles across the fruits but also the activity and response of various metabolic and physiological reactions/processes regulated by these compounds. Besides the well-known role of ethylene, gases and volatiles; O 2 , CO 2 , ethanol, acetaldehyde, water vapours, methyl salicylate, methyl jasmonate and nitric oxide (NO) have the potential to regulate the process of ripening individually and also in various interactive ways. Differences in the prevailing internal atmosphere of the fruits may therefore be considered as one of the causes behind the existing varietal variability of fruits in terms of rate of ripening, qualitative changes, firmness, shelf-life, ideal storage requirement, extent of tolerance towards reduced O 2 and/or elevated CO 2 , transpirational loss and susceptibility to various physiological disorders. In this way, internal atmosphere of a fruit (in terms of different gases and volatiles) plays a critical regulatory role in the process of fruit ripening. So, better and holistic understanding of this internal atmosphere along with its exact regulatory role on various aspects of fruit ripening will facilitate the development of more meaningful, refined and effective approaches in postharvest management of fruits. Its applicability, specially for the climacteric fruits, at various stages of the supply chain from growers to consumers would assist in reducing postharvest losses not only in quantity but also in quality.

“…A significant cross talk was found in previously reported studies about MeJA and other hormone signaling pathways, including MeJA-IAA, MeJA-ethylene, MeJA-ABA [33][34][35]. Furthermore, genes related to hormones were previously reported to associate with volatile compounds in fruits [36][37][38]. Thus, MeJA is principally important for its prominent and universal role in the regulation of plant metabolism, which is typically manifested as the elicitation of volatile metabolite biosynthesis.…”

Grapevine is one of the most valued and widely cultivated fruit crop worldwide, with their pleasant flavor and valuable health effects. During the consequent ripening at ambient temperature, the volatile compounds of table grape often decreased, to affect their sensory evaluation. The development of new and effective methods to increase the volatile compounds of berries is necessary. Present study was carried out to investigate the pre-harvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment on the selected volatile compounds and endogenous hormones content from 'Shine Muscat' berries pulp. The results indicated that, pre-harvest application of MeJA (0.1 mM or 0.01 mM) on grape berries generally enhanced the production of terpenes, like nerol, linalool, alpha-terpineol; While some C6 compounds were reduced, such as (E)-2-hexenol, hexanol, (Z)-3-hexenol, hexanal and (E)-2-hexenal. The endogenous hormones like IAA (indole acetic acid), ABA (abscisic acid) and JA (jasmonate acid) content were also changed after MeJA treatment. We also observed that MeJA palys a key role in fruit endogenous hormones level and volatile compounds by increasing the expression level of several related genes, such as aroma-related genes Vvter, Vv-syn and hormone-related genes VvOPR3, VvAuI, VvEth, VvNCED1. We hypothesize that, MeJA as an effective elicitor affects the volatile compounds by altering endogenous hormones level in berries pulp of 'Shine Muscat'.
