Fig. 1. Effect of 1-MCP on ethylene production (A) and respiration rate (B) at 25 C. The
jujube fruit were treated with 1 mL L11-MCP for 24 h at 25 C. Ethylene and CO2 levels
were quantified with a gas chromatograph. The production of ethylene and CO2 were
expressed as nmol h1 kg1 fresh weight and ml h1 kg1 fresh weight, respectively.
Each treatment contained three replications, and 1 kg fruits were used in each replicate.
The experiment was repeated twice. Vertical bars represent standard error of
means. A, control; 6, 1-MCP
