Abstract

Cherries harvested before they have reached full maturity responded to ethylene or ethephon treatment by an increase in CO2 output and O2 input, but did not ripen. This treatment could be repeated with the same effect. The behaviour of the cherry thus resembles that of citrus fruits and of non climacteric fruits.

Résumé

La cerise, cueillie avant la pleine maturité et soumise à un traitement par l'éthylène ou l'éthephon, accroît ses échanges gazeux (CO2 et O2) mais ne mûrit pas. Ce traitement peut être répété avec le même effet. La cerise se comporte donc comme les agrumes ou les fruits non climactériques.

Zusammenfassung

Die Kirsche, vor der Vollreife geerntet, vergrößert ihren Atmungsstoffwechsel (CO2 und O2) nach einer Behandlung mit Äthylen oder Ethephon, reift jedoch nicht nach. Diese Behandlung kann mit Erfolg wiederholt werden. Die Kirsche verhält sich wie die Citrus- oder die nicht klimakterischen Früchte.
