A inhibitor of ethylene action, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), was treated to prolong the shelf life of 'Supermomotaro' tomato at concentrations of 250, 500, and 1,000 ppb for 4 h at 20℃ with 90% RH. After treatment tomatoes were stored still at 20℃ with 90% RH. The ethylene evolution was abruptly increased after 2 days storage at tomatoes of all treatments and control, but the values of treated tomatoes were less than that of control. The respiration was also inhibited by 1-MCP treatment effectively.
