摘要:
Methods and compositions to temporarily delay the ripening, maturation or senescence of produce such as fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants are provided. The methods involve the application of a photosynthetic pigment stabilizing chemical (e.g.glycine betaine) to produce which is identified as in need of such delay. Application may be pre- or post-harvest.
摘要:
Methods of controlling the maturation of plants and/or plant products (e.g. fruit, vegetable, ornamentals, etc.) by manipulating Alternative Oxidase (AOX) activity. An increase in activity hastens the maturation process while a decrease in activity slows or stops maturation.
