Question: The fruits which can be ripened artificially after harvesting are known as…

Options:

(a) Climacteric fruits
(b) Non-climacteric fruits
(c) Both
(d) None of the above

✅Explanation:
Climacteric fruits are those that continue to ripen even after being harvested. They undergo a ripening process called the climacteric rise, characterized by a burst of ethylene production, increased respiration, and changes in texture, color, and flavor. This allows them to be harvested before they are fully ripe and then ripened artificially using ethylene gas or other methods.

• Examples of climacteric fruits include:
Apples
Bananas
Mangoes
Tomatoes
Avocados

📌Other Options Explanations:
b) Non-climacteric fruits: These fruits do not ripen significantly after harvest. They reach their peak of ripeness while still attached to the plant and do not undergo a climacteric rise. Examples include grapes, citrus fruits, and berries.

🔑Key Points:
The climacteric is a stage of fruit ripening associated with increased ethylene production and a rise in cellular respiration.
Apples, bananas, melons, apricots, and tomatoes, among others, are climacteric fruits.
Climacteric fruits: Those fruits that can ripen after being picked and produce much more ethylene than non-climacteric, which cannot ripen once removed from the plant.
non-climacteric fruits are characterized by ripening transitions that do not strictly depend on a significant increase in ethylene production and an associated rise in respiration rate.
The Non-climacteric fruits include strawberry, grape, raspberry, cherry, citrus, and many others.
