Abstract
The effects of NO on postharvest ripening of breaking tomato fruit(Lycopersicon esculentum)were investigated using 50 μmol · L-1 SNP treatment for 30 min.Northern hybridization method was taken to detect the expression of Le-ETR4.The results indicated that dipping fruits in 50 μmol · L-1 SNP treatment for 30 min obviously reduced ethylene production rate,inhibited the activities of cellulase,polygalacturonase and ACC oxidase,and delayed color development and fruit softening.NO treatment also significantly repressed the expression of Le-ETR4.These results demonstrate that NO can inhibit activities of ripening-related enzymes through suppressing ethylene synthesis and expression of ethylene receptor gene.The ripening process of tomato can be regulated by NO both on a physiological and ethylene receptor level.
