Effect of Ethylene on Sesquiterpene Nootkatone Production during the Maturation-Senescence Stage in Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.)

  • Chapter
Cellular and Molecular Aspects of the Plant Hormone Ethylene

Abstract

In a previous work, we described how the synthesis of nootkatone, a bicyclic sesquiterpene ketone, which is an important constituent of commercial flavourings and fragances, is correlated with the development of morphological differentiation in the cells of Citrus paradisi calli (1) and the maturation-senescence process in the fruit (2),(3).
