Of particular value in the storage of climacteric fruit are those
techniques that reduce ethylene responses, thereby permitting
some control over degradative processes associated with ripening
and senescence. In fruit storage, cultural techniques used to
minimize the effects of ethylene include low O2, high CO2, and
reduced temperature (Abeles et al., 1992). Silver, while effective
at preventing or slowing fruit ripening (Tucker and Brady, 1987),
