• Ethylene regulation of sugar metabolism in climacteric and non-climacteric plums (2018, background): “…and Burg, 1967; Paul et al., 2012) and 1-methylcyclopropane (1-MCP), and inhibitor of ethylene binding to its receptors (Sisler and Serek, 1997; Watkins, 2006), and assessed gene expression profiling and fruit sugar analysis to characterize and compare the effect(s) of ethylene on the…”
• Overview of 1-Methylcyclopropene Trials and Uses for Edible Horticultural Crops (2008, background): “The effects of 1-MCP on apple, avocado, banana, plum, peach and nectarine, pear, and tomato have been reviewed by Watkins (2006) and therefore only a summary of effects described in that review is provided here.”
• Factors affecting the postharvest soluble solids and sugar content of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit (2012, background): “While picking the fruit at a later stage would permit greater sugar accumulation riper fruit is easily damaged and also has a short shelf-life (Kader et al., 1978b; Reid, 2002; Toivonen, 2007; Watkins, 2006).”
• Postharvest Biology and Technology for Preserving Fruit Quality (2010, background): “PME de-esterifies polyuronides by removing methyl groups from the C6 position of galacturonic acid residues of high-molecular-weight pectins, releasing methanol and protons and leading to changes in pH and charge in the cell wall, since negative carboxyl groups are created.”
• Suppression of Ethylene Responses Through Application of 1-Methylcyclopropene: A Powerful Tool for Elucidating Ripening and Senescence Mechanisms in Climacteric and Nonclimacteric Fruits and Vegetables (2008, background): “Mansf.] appears to represent an exception to this view in that the goals of long-term storage and maintenance of firm, crisp texture in many cultivars is best achieved when 1-MCP is applied before ripening (Watkins, 2006).”
