The effects of acetaldehyde and ethylene were compared in the induction of a respiratory rise in blueberry and strawberry fruits. The increase in CO2 production in blueberries caused by acetaldehyde was more pronounced than that caused by ethylene. Acetaldehyde induced a climacteric-like respiration in straw-berries, while ethylene had no effect. The results suggest that the action of acetaldehyde and ethylene involves different mechanisms.
