In melon, CmACO1 silencing inhibits fruit ripening and extends fruit shelf life [47].
We also identified a TILLING mutant with enhanced fruit shelf life.
To identify melon lines with improved fruit shelf life, we screened for mutations in the CmACO1 enzyme that catalyses the last step of ethylene biosynthesis (Figure 2A).
The findings may provide a new strategy to extend fruit shelf life by regulating its energy level.
Textural softening during fruit ripening is of commercial importance as it directly dictates fruit shelf life, which is due to in vivo carbohydrate hydrolysis by respective carbohydrate hydrolases.
An effective strategy for enhancing the mango fruit shelf life is still lacking and, as a result, it is an economic loss for Bangladesh.

With increased understanding of the molecular biology underlying ripening and the advent of genetic engineering technologies, researchers have pursued new strategies to address problems in fruit shelf-life and quality.
Suppression of these two enzymes during the early ripening stage could retard fruit softening and/or extend fruit shelf-life, which has been demonstrated by genetic engineering with anti-sense genes.
Low oxygen concentrations are widely used in controlled-atmosphere storage of harvested fruit, e.g. apples, with the goal of prolonging fruit shelf-life (Toivonen 1997; Watada and Qi 1999) via the reduction of the respiration rate and the ethylene biosynthesis during controlled-atmosphere storage.
Moreover, this postharvest treatment can be used as an alternative for extending fresh fruits shelf-life.
The genes in cluster 7, enriched in other carbohydrate metabolism and TCA genes, were up-regulated to similar rates in both cultivars, but repressed in the sensitive cultivar after two weeks, when browning started to develop when fruit were shelf ripened.
