Plum is a climacteric fruit and softening is a serious problem for storage and transportation. Thus $1{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was applied to plums to prolong their shelf life and maintain quality. Japanese plums (Prunus salicina cv. Formosa) were stored at $20^{\circ}C$ and $0^{\circ}C$ for 14 days and 46 days respectively, with or without 1-MCP treatment. Fruits were treated with $1{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 1-MCP at $10^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Ethylene production and respiration rate were strongly inhibited in 1-MCP-treated fruits at $20^{\circ}C$. It was also observed that there was less ethanol and acetaldehyde evaporation in 1-MCP-treated fruits stored at $20^{\circ}C$ compared to those in control fruits not treated with 1-MCP. Fruit qualities, such as firmness, titratable acidity (TA), skin color, and decay, changed more slowly in 1-MCP-treated fruits stored at $20^{\circ}C$ than in untreated fruits. There were no differences in the ethylene production or respiration rate between the groups of fruits stored at $0^{\circ}C$ throughout the experiment. Chilling injury was also inhibited by the application of 1-MCP during storage at $0^{\circ}C$. When the fruits stored at $0^{\circ}C$ with or without 1-MCP were transferred to $20^{\circ}C$ after 25 days, the differences in ethylene production and respiration rate, firmness, TA, TSS, and acetaldehyde and ethanol evaporation between the initial (after being stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 25 days) and the final measurements (after being stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 25 days and then transferred to $20^{\circ}C$ for three days) were lower in 1-MCP treated fruits than in non-treated fruits. The postharvest application of 1-MCP in Formosa plums showed positive effects at both $0^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ storage conditions with regard to quality, such as low ethylene production and low respiration rates, firmness, TA, ethanol, and acetaldehyde evaporation, chilling injury, and decay.

본 연구는 2015년과 2016년에 '상주둥시' 감의 수확시기를 달리하여 수확 후 PE필름, 1-MCP 및 AVG를 처리가 저온저장동안 과실의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 2016년 과실 수확시기는 2015년에 비하여 10일 빠른 조기수확을 실시하였다. 과실의 에틸렌 발생 정도는 조기수확한 과실들에서 현저히 낮았고, 과실의 경도는 저온저장동안 1-MCP 처리구들이 다른 처리구의 과실에 비하여 높게 유지되었다. 과실의 감모율은 수확기를 달리한 모든 과실들에서 PE 필름 처리 과실들에서 현저히 억제되었다. 성숙기에 수확한 과실은 저온저장 중 과실의 꽃받침 부위과 경와부의 과피색($L^*$ 및 $b^*$) 변화를 보면 무처리와 PE필름 처리구에 비하여 1-MCP 처리구들이 그 변화정도가 낮았다. 과실의 부패와 연화정도는 PE필름 처리 과실들에서 높게 나타났지만 AVG 처리구들에서는 부패과 발생이 없었다. 그리고 조기수확한 과일은 성숙기에 수확한 과실에 비하여 경도가 높게 유지되었고, 과피색의 변화가 낮은 경향을 보였고, 성숙기에 수확한 과실들은 당도, 과피의 적색(Hunter a 값) 발현 및 호흡율이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 감과실의 저장성 향상을 위해서는 조기수확이 중요한 요인으로 작용하고 또한 수확 후 1-MCP 처리가 과일의 경도를 높게 유지하고 과피색의 변화를 억제하였으며, 과실의 감모율은 PE 필름 처리에 의해 현저하게 억제됨을 확인하였다.

The volatile components in 'Fuji' apple were effectively determined by a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 48 volatile components were identified and tentatively characterized based on National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) MS spectra library and the Kovats GC retention index I (RI). The harvested Fuji apples were divided into two groups: 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treated and non-treated (control) samples for finding important indicators between two groups. The major volatile components of both apples were 2-methylbutyl acetate, hexyl acetate, butyl 2-methylbutanoate, hexyl butanoate, hexyl 2-methylbutanoate, hexyl hexanoate and farnesene. No significant differences of these major compounds between 1-MCP treated and non-treated apples were observed during 1 month storage. Interestingly, the amount of off-flavors, including 1-butanol and butyl butanoate, in 1-MCP treated apples decreased over 5 months, and then increased after 7 months. However, non-treated apples did not show significant changes for off-flavors during 7 month storage (p<0.05). The non-treated apples also contained the higher levels of two off-flavors than 1-MCP treated apples. These two compounds, 1-butanol and butyl butanoate, can be used as quality indicators for the quality evaluation of Fuji apple.

'Formosa' plums were picked at three maturity stages according to skin redness, treated with $1{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 1-MCP at $10^{\circ}C$ for 24 h and then stored for 21 days at $10^{\circ}C$. Ethylene production, respiration rate, firmness, color, TSS, TA, and ethanol concentration were determined. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant capacity were determined periodically by separating the flesh from the peel. Ethylene production and respiration rate were strongly inhibited in all stages of the 1-MCP-treated fruit, while ethylene production dramatically increased in all stages of non-treated fruit until 11 days after harvest, after which it decreased until the end of the experiment. The respiration rate of the stored fruit increased for 11 days in stages 1 and 2 and for 7 days in stage 3 and decreased after. 1-MCP-treated fruit in all stages showed delay in fruit quality changes such as firmness, TA, skin color, and ethanol concentration, but non-treated fruit did not. Total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents and antioxidant capacity of 'Formosa' plums were not affected by 1-MCP treatment or maturity stage. However, those values were higher in the peel than in the flesh.

When bougainvilleas are subjected to indoor low-light conditions, flower bracts regularly abscise. This study elucidates the effects of plant growth regulators on bract longevity of potted bougainvillea. Potted 'Taipei Red' bougainvillea in four different bract development stages were treated with 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene), NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid), SNA (sodium salt of naphthaleneacetic acid), IBA (indolebutyric acid), BA (6-benzylaminopurine), $KH_2PO_4$ (potassium dihydrogen phosphate), Put (diamine putrescine), SA (salicylic acid), or STS (silver thiosulfate) and were moved to indoor low-light conditions after treatments. Experimental results indicate that 1-MCP, NAA, SNA, BA, Put, and SA prolonged bract longevity, and this effect increased as bract stage increased. The effect of STS was significant in early bract stages and decreased as bract stages increased. Additionally, 1-MCP, NAA, SNA, BA, Put, SA, and STS treatment significantly reduced endogenous ACC (1-aminocyclopropene-1-carboxylate) content and ACC oxidase activity, suggesting that the inhibition of ethylene production was achieved via physiological metabolism. However, treatment with IBA or $KH_2PO_4$ had no effect on the bract longevity at any stage. In the combined chemical treatments, NAA + STS or NAA + SA were effectively for prolonging bract longevity and contained less protein or chlorophyll degradation, decrease ACC oxidase or ethylene production than the control. In conclusion, we propose that combined chemical treatment significantly prolonged the bract longevity and more effectively than single chemical treatment at any stage.

본 연구에서는 1-MCP 처리가 조생종 '원황' 및 중생종 '화산 '배의 상온유통기간 중 과실품질 및 생리장해 발생 경감에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. '원황' 배는 만개 후 130일과 140일에, '화산' 배는 만개 후 135, 145 및 150일에 각각 수확하여 실험에 이용하였다. 1-MCP를 $1{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 농도로 처리한 후 $25^{\circ}C$ 상온에서 21일간 유통시킨 후 과실경도를 조사한 결과, 1-MCP 처리에 의한 과실 경도 저하 지연효과가 인정되었다. '원황' 배에 있어 만개 후 130일에 수확한 과실의 경우, 무처리구의 과실 경도는 상온유통 14일 후 32.3 N, 21일 후 10.1N으로 유통기간이 경과하면서 경도가 급격하게 저하되었다. 1-MCP 처리구는 같은 조사 기간에 각각 39.4 및 33.1N으로 무처리구에 비해 유의하게 높게 유지되었다. 만개 후 140일에 수확한 '원황'에 있어서는 상온유통 14일에 각각 14.8 및 35.0N으로 1-MCP 처리구의 경도가 두 배 이상 높게 유지되었고 유통 21일에는 1-MCP 처리구가 33.3N이었던 반면 무처리구는 6.6N으로 상품성을 완전히 상실하였다. '화산'에 대한 1-MCP 처리 효과는 수확시기가 늦은 과실에서 효과가 크게 나타났다. '원황'에 대한 1-MCP 처리는 각 수확기에 있어 가용성고형물 함량이 높게 유지되는 경향을 보였는데 '화산'에 있어서는 1-MCP 처리에 따른 함량차이는 인정되지 않았고 1-MCP 처리에 의한 산함량 감소지연효과도 '원황'에서만 나타났다. 에틸렌 발생량은 '원황'의 경우 수확시기가 늦은 과실에서 다소 높게 측정되었으나 최대 $0.58{\mu}l{\cdot}L^{-1}$으로 매우 소량에 머물렀는데 '화산'의 경우에는 '원황'에 비해 현저히 낮은 수준으로 검출되었고 1-MCP 처리유무 및 유통기간의 경과에 따른 유의한 변화가 없었다. 유통기간 중 1-MCP 처리에 따른 과실의 호흡량은 '원황'에 대한 1-MCP 처리는 만개 후 130일 및 140일 수확 과실에 있어서 상온유통 14일에 무처리구 대비 각각 44 및 50% 감소시킨 것으로 조사되었다. '화산'의 호흡량은 '원황'에 비해 유의하게 낮은 수준으로 조사되었고 1-MCP 처리에 따른 호흡률의 감소는 관찰되지 않았다. 과실내부에 발생하는 생리장해를 측정한 결과, 두 품종 모두 수확시기가 늦어지는 경우 증가하는 경향이었다. '원황'에 있어 만개 후 130일 수확 과실에 대한 1-MCP 처리는 과육갈변을 완전히 방지하였고, 바람들이 및 과심갈변의 발생을 현저히 경감되었던 반면 flesh spot decay 장해는 증가하였다. 1-MCP 처리는 '원황'에서만 생리장해 경감효과가 나타났고 상대적으로 '화산'에서는 그 효과가 다소 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다.

This study was divided to three experiments for evaluating the effects of pre- or post-load 1-MCP on quality of 'Fuji' apples exposed to ethylene. The first experiment was compared for fruit quality at room temperature at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days between the control and 1-MCP-treated fruits followed storage of 130, 150, and 170 days. 1-MCP-treated fruits maintained higher fruit titratable acidity and firmness than those of control fruits. The second experiment was compared for fruit quality at room temperature at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days between fruits applied with pre-loaded-1-MCP on ethylene treatments (10 ${\mu}L/L$, 20 ${\mu}L/L$, and 40 ${\mu}L/L$) and control fruits. 1-MCP-treated fruits were not affected by ethylene concentrations, and had higher fruit weight and firmness than those of control. The third experiment was compared for fruit quality at room temperature at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days between fruits applied with pre-loading with ethylene (10 ${\mu}L/L$) followed by ventilation (8 h, or 32 h, or 56 h) and 1.0 ${\mu}L/L$ 1-MCP treatment. As observed above experiments, 1-MCP-treated fruits had higher fruit weight and firmness than those of control fruits, regardless of the delayed applications of 1-MCP.

This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of hot water ($43-53^{\circ}C{\cdot}5min^{-1}$; $47^{\circ}C{\cdot}2-6min^{-1}$), 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at $50-300nL\;L^{-1}$ and a combination of hot water ($47/49^{\circ}C{\cdot}5min^{-1}$) and phosphite $40%\;P_2O_5+20%\;K_2O$;$40%\;P_2O_5+10%\;Zn$) in anthracnose control and the effect on fruit quality [fresh weight loss (FWL-%); pH, total soluble solids ($TSS-^{\circ}Brix$), and titratable acidity (TA = % citric acid (CA)] of passion fruit ( Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa ) at the postharvest stage. When the fruits were in the stage of 0% dehydration and fully yellow peels, they were disinfested and inoculated with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. They were then subjected to the above mentioned treatments; this was followed by incubation for 120 h. The diameter of the disease lesions was monitored daily. After the incubation, a physico-chemical analysis was performed. Hot-water treatment resulted in disease reduction at 47 and $49^{\circ}C$ for 4 and 5 min. The combination of hot-water treatment at $47^{\circ}C$ (4 or 5 min) and application of the phosphite of K or Zn significantly reduced disease severity in fruits. The 1-MCP treatment reduced anthracnose severity in passion fruit mainly at $200nL\;L^{-1}{\cdot} 24h^{-1} $. None of the treatments significantly changed the physico-chemical characteristics of the fruit [FWL (2.6-4.1%); pH (3.2-3.5), TSS ($8.9-10.9^{\circ}Brix$), and TA (1.8-2.5% CA)].

상온에서 기체로 존재하는 기존의 에틸렌 작용억제제인 1-MCP와 달리 상온에서 액상으로 존재하여 분무살포가 가능한 에틸렌 작용억제제를 개발할 목적으로 cyclopropene 유도체의 하나로서 2-decylcyclopropene-1-carboxylic acid ethyl ester(DCPE)를 합성하여 부유 단감을 대상으로 그 처리효과를 분석하였다. $4{\cdot}10^{-4}$ M의 DCPE를 수확 전에 분무살포 처리한 단감을 수확하여 45일간 저온저장한 후 상온($20^{\circ}C$)에 1주간 방치하면서 성숙 관련 지표의 변화를 조사한 결과, 에틸렌의 작용에 의해 유발되는 과육 연화의 진행이 효과적으로 지연되었으며, 그 억제 효과는 1 ppm의 1-MCP 처리와 대등한 수준이었다. 또한 DCPE는 적어도 한달간 성분 손실 없이 냉장 보관이 가능하였다. 따라서 DCPE는 단감 과실의 수확 후 과육의 연화를 지연시키는 약제로의 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
