Abstract:In order to determine the effect of 1-MCP treatment on the metabolism of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during 0 to 60 days of freezing temperature storage (-0.5±0.3℃), "Longcheng NO.2" was used as experimental material, and treated with 1.0 μL/ of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). The effects of 1-MCP on fruit physiology, active oxygen metabolism and ascorbate-glutathione cycle were analyzed. The results showed that after 60 days of storage, the respiration intensity and ethylene production rate of 1-MCP group were 44.11 mg/(kg·h) and 2.35 μL/(kg·h), which were 17.20% and 23.70% lower than those of CK, respectively. The increase of superoxide anion (O2-.), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA) content and relative conductivity in the fruit were inhibited. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR) and the contents of reduced ascorbic acid (AsA), oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and reduced glutathione (GSH) were maintained. 1-MCP treatment can reduce the respiration rate and ethylene production rate of Actinidia arguta, reduce the generation of free radicals, improve the antioxidant capacity during storage, delay the aging process of fruit, and maintain good commercial property. Therefore, this study can provide theoretical basis and technical basis for the improvement of postharvest storage and preservation technology of Actinidia arguta .
