Carbon Dioxide Is a Promoter of Ethylene Action in Potato Tubers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In three consecutive years of storage trials, the effects of reduced O 2 levels, elevated CO 2 levels, and ethylene on the fry color and sugar content [sucrose and reducing sugars (glucose and fructose)] of `Russet Burbank' potato ( Solanumtuberosum L.) tubers were evaluated. The potatoes were stored in modified atmosphere chambers and the atmosphere mixtures were supplied from compressed gas cylinders. Fry color and sugar content were assessed at the start of each trial and after several weeks of exposure to the treatment atmospheres. Four 4-week trials were conducted in 2002 and two 9-week trials were conducted in each of 2003 and 2004. No differences in fry color or sugar content attributable to either increased CO 2 or decreased O 2 were observed, compared with untreated controls, in any year. In the second and third years, only selected treatments were repeated, with or without 0.5 μL·L -1 ethylene. Ethylene alone caused a moderate darkening of fry color and an increase in reducing sugars. However, the fry color and reducing sugar content of tubers exposed to a combination of elevated CO 2 and ethylene were considerably darker and higher, respectively, than observed with ethylene alone. No similar interaction between ethylene and O 2 level was observed. These results suggest that CO 2 promoted ethylene-induced fry color darkening, which may explain the contradictory effects of CO 2 on fry color frequently observed by the potato industry. This is contrary to published research on other fruits and vegetables, which has generally shown that CO 2 inhibits ethylene action.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
