catalase
(CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were significantly induced after 1-MCP treatment. These findings
indicate that the induced resistance in jujube fruit by 1-MCP is related with the increase of enzymes
involved in scavenging of reactive oxygen species and enzymes associated with phenolics metabolism
which produces highly toxic products against pathogen invasion. Our results suggest that 1-MCP has
potential effect on maintaining the quality and extending postharvest life of jujube fruit
