Effect of Ethanol, Acetaldehyde, Acetic Acid, and Ethylene on Changes in Respiration and Respiratory Metabolites in Potato Tubers

Anna Rychter1, Harry W. Janes, Chee-Kok Chin and Chaim Frenkel

Ethanol, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid, when applied in a volatile state in air to potato tubers, led to a climacteric-like upsurge in respiration. The respiratory upsurge was markedly enhanced when the volatiles were applied in 100% O2.

Ethanol induced a decline in the level of 2-phosphoglyceric acid and phosphoenolpyruvate while leading to the accumulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates including isocitrate and {alpha}-ketoglutarate. The action of these compounds was similar to, but independent of, the action of ethylene.
