The Study on Mechanism of Softening During Peach Ripening

The relationships between the peach fruit firmness and ethylene, Lox, PG and related metabolism were studied during natural and accelerating ripening. The results show that peach fruit softening is a physiology process regulated by many factors. It is possible that Lox is related to the early softening, process and Lox, ethylene and PG are all involved in the late softening process.
