1-MCP application suppresses ethylene biosynthesis and retards fruit softeningduring cold storage of 'Tegan Blue' Japanese plum

Plum is a highly perishable fruit and postharvest fruit softening limits its cold storage life. To investigate the role of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in ethylene biosynthesis and fruit softening during cold storage, Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl. cv.
