Abstract

Northern analysis showed that #beta#-galactosidase mRNA was abundant in the fruit at harvest time and then went down. The mRNA level was the lowest at the stage of 24 h ethylene treatment. A transient increase in the mRNA level was seen after 24 h ethylene treatment and no significant change during ethylene climacteric in ripening fruit. The significance of these results is discussed.
