Protein synthesis inhibitors accelerate the postharvest senescence of asparagus and induce tiprot.

In an attempt to delay the postharvest senescence of Asparagus officinalis, protein synthesis inhibitors were fed to spears by immersing their butt ends in solutions of either actinomycin D or cycloheximide. These treatments, which are known to retard the senescence of excised flowers and leaves, accelerated the postharvest senescence of spears rather than delaying it. Shelf-life and spear elongation were both reduced. Spear tips had lower concentrations of hexose and asparagine and an increased incidence of the postharvest disorder tip rot than did tips of control (water-fed) spears. The significance of these observations on the etiology of tip rot is discussed.
