Although the
results suggest that blocking ethylene perception interferes with disease resistance in strawberries, there was only a small
effect on total storage life. It was concluded that neither the removal of low levels of ethylene from the storage
environment nor the treatment with 1-MCP are likely to be cost effective methods of extending strawberry storage life.
