To elucidate the relationship of polyamine content to ethylene evolution in fruit ripening of Japanese pear cv. Kosui, aminooxyacetic acid (AOA) or methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) was administered to intact fruits about one month before harvest. After treatment, changes in ethylene evolution from the fruits and their 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and polyamine contents were compared to those of the control. Treatment with 5mM AOA, which is known to block the conversion of S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to ACC, decreased ethylene evolution just before harvest, although ACC content hardly changed. This treatment gradually increased spermidine (SPD) and spermine (SPM) contents for 20 days after which they subsequently decreased, accompanied by lower levels of putrescine (PUT) during ripening. Treatment with 1mM MGBG, which blocks the conversion of SAM to SPD or SPM, sharply increased ethylene evolution and ACC content just before harvest. The treatment also increased PUT content for 20 days after treatment and tended to lower SPD and SPM contents. These results indicate that a competitive relationship exists between ethylene and polyamine biosyntheses, using SAM as a substrate during the ripening process of 'Kosui' fruit.
