The effect of 1-methlcyclopropene on postharvest physiology and storage quality of fig( Ficus carica L. cv.) fruits were investigated.Fig fruits were treated with 0,1.0,1.5,2.0 μL /L 1-MCP for 24h at room temperature( 20 ± 0.5) ℃ and then stored at low temperature( 0 ± 0.5) ℃.The results showed that 1-MCP treatment obviously delayed the decrease of firmness and VC content compared with the control. Moreover,1-MCP significantly inhibited respiration rate and the ethylene production.The optimal concentration ...
