Ethylene production in wounded immature A. chinensis ‘Hort16A’ kiwifruit. (A) Fruit were wounded with two incisions (open symbols) or four incisions (closed symbols) and transferred to a 1.5 L sealed jar at 2 L h− 1 air flow. Ethylene production was measured continuously over the time course shown. Control unwounded fruit (open diamond) produced no ethylene over the course of the experiment. Three biological repeats (consisting of three fruit each) were harvested per time point from fruit with two incisions. (B) Soluble solids concentration (SSC, % Brix) and firmness (kgF) changes in immature fruit after wounding. Control: unwounded fruit; Wounded: fruit cut with 2 incisions were measured at 120 h after wounding; Ripe: eating ripe fruit. Data are the mean ± SE, n = nine biological replicates. **/++: statistically different compared to control in two/four cut respectively (p < 0.01, ANOVA (A) /Student’s t-test (B)
