Aminoethoxyvinylglycine and 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatments Affect Fruit Quality and Ethylene Production in ‘geum Hwang’ Peach

This study evaluated the effect of preharvest aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and postharvest 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatments on ethylene production in association with fruit quality changes during ‘Geum Hwang’ peach ripening. 75 mg L−1 of AVG solution was sprayed to peach trees 7 days before harvest, and 1 µL L−1 of 1-MCP gas was fumigated to fruits at harvest. Untreated peaches were used as a control. All samples were stored for 12 days at 8 °C, and analyses were performed at 4-days intervals. In terms of fruit quality, ethylene production and respiration rate levels in control fruits were 52.1
