Influence of short-term treatment with high CO2 and N2 on ethylene biosynthesis in tomato fruit.

Tomato fruit were given a short-term (24 h) high CO2 (80%) or N2 (100%) treatment and then transferred to air storage at 20 degrees C. The CO2 treatment stimulated ACC oxidase activity and ethylene production, whereas the N2 treatment increased ACC content but did not increase ethylene production. Both CO2 and N2 treatments delayed ripening for one day, but fruit ripened normally. Although short-term 80% CO2 had a stimulating effect, and 100% N2 had no effect on ethylene production, ripening was delayed slightly by both treatments.
