Abstract:
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is a newly discovered ethylene receptor inhibitor that delays the senescence of fruits and vegetables. It interferes with the normal binding of ethylene to metal ions on the ethylene receptor and affects the response of fruits to ethylene by binding to the ethylene receptor protein (irreversible competition). This review summarizes the effects of 1-MCP treatment on the postharvest physiology and quality of respiratory climacteric and nonrespiratory climacteric fruits, as well as storage diseases. The aim of this study was to provide technical ideas for the application of the green and safe preservative 1-MCP for fruits. 1- MCP has a bidirectional regulation effect on the preservation of fruits, and the effect of 1-MCP on the storage quality of postharvest fruits is closely related to many factors, such as treatment concentration, treatment time, treatment method, type of fruit, type of respiration drift, harvest time, and storage temperature.
