Abstract: Nanguo pear was used to investigated the effects of 1-methylcyclopropene on ethylene production in storage period.The results showed that 1-methylcyclopropene treatment significantly effected ethylene production and time of ethylene releasing.With 1-methylcyclopropene increasing, the time of ethylene releasing was delayed. In storage period, the ethylene production increased and the time of ethylene releasing appeared ahead of time when it delayed the time of collected. The ethylene production of Nanguo pear, which was treated in same day, is lower than it which was treated in next day.

Key words: 1-methylcyclopropene, Nanguo pear, ethylene
