| Abstract:
'd'Anjou' pear fruit harvested at fruit firmness levels of 66.7 and 60.0N ripened normally when treated with 100 and 400 ppm C2H4 and stored at -1 °C for 2, 4, 6, or 8 weeks. Softening was related to hours of ethylene treatment (24–96), harvest maturity, weeks in storage, and days of ripening | |
