Abstract
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application influences the post-harvest ripening process in numerous horticultural crops by inhibiting the ethylene perception as it competes with ethylene for binding receptors and thereby retards the down regulation processes. Successful commercialization of 1-MCP requires a balance between its concentration to be applied, exposure time and type of crop. This review article describes 1-MCP application for maintaining the post-harvest quality in selected horticultural crops. Practical applications This review article delivers key information as how 1-MCP application significantly influenced the post-harvest quality of selected horticultural crops in recent years. Furthermore, this review article would also address different factors influencing the response to 1-MCP which would expand more knowledge among growers for its successful application.
