Effect of ethylene on certain quality parameters of apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca, L.) during maturation and postharvest evolution.

In order to evaluate the influence of ethylene on parameters of fruit maturity, the maturation characteristics of 2 contrasted apricot cultivars, Moniqui (which matures rapidly) and Bergeron (which matures slowly), were compared and secondly, a trial on the inhibition of ethylene action in cv. Moniqui using 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was carried out. During maturation, rapid fruit colour change and loss of firmness seemed to be correlated with a significant increase in ethylene production. The application of 1-MCP was found to efficiently inhibit ethylene production in the preclimacteric stages only. Concurrently, the colour of the fruit and its rate of softening were reduced.
