Full Description
This exam evaluates the role of ethylene in regulating postharvest fruit maturation and its subsequent impact on disease susceptibility.
Understanding ethylene's role is essential for developing effective postharvest management practices that optimize fruit quality and minimize disease incidence.
The exam requires students to articulate the biochemical pathways affected by ethylene and the resulting implications for fruit storage and handling.
Students should prepare to discuss laboratory findings related to ethylene production and its effects on various fruit types following harvest.
Sample Questions
- How does ethylene affect the maturation process of fruits
- In what way does ethylene exposure increase fruit susceptibility to diseases
