Export bananas (Musa acuminata, cv Cavendish) of the French West Indies are usually subjected to the “mixed-ripe” and/or “ship-ripe” processes during transit with a rapid deterioration of their quality. We hypothesized that this post harvest process is associated with the level of fruit ethylene responsiveness at harvest time. We attempted to obtain insight at the molecular level by identifying related candidate genes, which could be used as markers to improve the post harvest quality of fruit.
