1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP): Ethylene Inhibitors in Vegetables, Fruits and Flowers
Keywords:
1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), ethylene, ethylene inhibitionAbstract
Ethylene is a plant hormone that is in the form of gases, affecting various physiological processes in plants, including fall aging and maturation, physiological disorders, sprouting, browning and the defense system activation as well as the loss of chlorophyll. However, most post-harvest management focuses on the control of ethylene production due to the degradation in vegetables, fruits and ornamental flowers that inrolling and wilting of petals, which is related to the synthesis of ethylene. 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a useful substance for the horticulture industry in an effort to maintain the quality of post-harvest products. Thus, this article was to study the role of 1-MCP on ethylene production in vegetables, fruits and flowers, which studying both the expression of ethylene synthesis and ethylene production process. The flowers were treated with ethylene and 1-MCP to study the genes DcACS1 and DcACO1, both that synthesizes ethylene in the carnation. 1-MCP will cause the translation inhibition of the gene DcACS1 in carnation petals causes carnation to slow down. There is also a study of the effects of 1-MCP can be delayed to stop or even reverse the negative effects of ethylene exposure in mini-Phalaenopsis. And delayed respiration rate in fruits, strawberries, bananas, and broccoli after harvest. 1-MCP can also slow down the yellowing, reduce respiration rate, slow down the aging process and extend the shelf life of many vegetables, fruits and ornamental flowers.
