“…Phloridzin and phloretin present in apple seeds during the end period of stratification decreased HCN production by competitive inhibition of amygdalinase activity (Dziewanowska et al 1979c). It has also been found that methyl jasmonate strongly affects the ethylene (and ACC) production in apples, the effect being dependent on fruits maturity (Saniewski et al 1987).…”

Embryonic dormancy is defined as a set of blocks imposed upon a process(es) cardinal for growth. In apple seeds, all these blocks are removed as a result of cold treatment (stratification), but some of them are also affected by light and/or hormonal treatments. This review summarizes published data related to the modes of action of above factors on the changes in the levels of endogenous hormones and some other plant growth regulators (e.g., hydrogen cyanide), and on certain enzymes involved in mobilization of seed reserves and catabolism of their hydrolysis products. Phytochrome and activities of acid lipase and a protease have been indicated as receptors of light and low temperature, respectively. Several chains of events initiated by these two environmental factors and leading to dormancy removal are proposed, and the sites of their control by hormones and HCN are indicated. These chains are postulated to contribute to the elimination of particular blocks that hinder germination and therefore to be involved in the mechanisms of dormancy breakage.

“…Transient increases in concentrations of JAs occur during the onset of fruit ripening in apple and tomato suggest their involvement in modulation of the early steps of climacteric fruit ripening (Saniewski and Czapski 1983;Saniewski et al 1987;Perez et al 1993;Creelman and Mullet 1997). Furthermore, JAs were reported to regulate the early steps of climacteric fruit ripening by stimulating ethylene biosynthesis (Fan et al 1998;Kondo et al 2000).…”

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.

“…Previous reports indicate that MJ may either inhibit or stimulate ethylene production (10,11,13). To ensure that ethylene was not the causative agent in changes seen in our MJ-treated plants, ethylene levels were assayed in chambers of control and MJ treatments.…”

“…Several studies have demonstrated jasmonic acid or MJ can induce senescence effects such as degradation of chlorophyll (6, 7), ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (7,8), and starch (9). In various systems, jasmonic acid or MJ application stimulates polyphenol oxidase activity (10,11) and }3-carotene accumulation (12), whereas it inhibits anthocyanin production (13) and polygalacturonase activity in tomato fruit (14). These effects are observed when jasmonic acid is applied directly, at relatively high concentrations, to the plant tissue (6,7,9).…”
