Abstract
Abstract The beneficial and harmful effects of ethylene (C2H4) on harvested horticultural products are well documented. The purpose of this presentation is to outline the technologies currently available in commercial horticulture for both the application of C2H4 to harvested horticultural crops, and the protection of these crops from the undesirable effects of C2H4. The research base for this topic cuts across many areas of considerable postharvest research, including temperature effects, atmospheric modification, and regulation of C2H4 synthesis. A complete review of any of these topics is beyond the scope of the presentation, and, in most instances, the reader is referred to recent research reports or comprehensive reviews of the specific subject.
