The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of several rates of 1-MCP from 10 to 100 nL L−1 on stem end decay caused by Botrytis
cinerea and to evaluate the effects of prestorage treatment with 1-MCP, hexanal, and 1-MCP + hexanal on decay of d’Anjou pear (Pyrus communis
L.) fruit in long-term cold storage.
