The climacteric behavior was altered in both loss-of-function mutants in two growing seasons with an earlier ethylene production profile being observed compared to the climacteric wild type, suggesting a role of both genes in climacteric ripening in melon. (irta.cat)
Ethylene2
In both experiments, 1-MCP application significantly delayed and suppressed the climacteric ethylene production and respiration rate. (ishs.org)
In conclusion, 1-MCP (1.0 μl L -1 ) can be used effectively to suppress and delay the climacteric ethylene production with acceptable quality during ripening at ambient temperature and with the same treatment plum storage life can be extended up to six weeks with minimum losses of fruit quality.

Genes1
To understand the role of these genes in climacteric ripening, in this study we generated homozygous CRISPR knockout mutants of CTR1-like and ROS1 in a climacteric genetic background. (irta.cat)
Quantitative1
Previous characterization of a major quantitative trait locus (QTL), ETHQV8.1, that is able to trigger climacteric ripening in a non-climacteric background resulted in the identification of a negative regulator of ripening CTR1-like (MELO3C024518) and a putative DNA demethylase ROS1 (MELO3C024516) that is the orthologue of DML2, a DNA demethylase that regulates fruit ripening in tomato.
