The present invention relates to a method of enhancing fruit ripening and stability and of delaying senescence in fruit and other plant tissues. This method consists of applying an effective amount of a lysophospholipid, such as lysophosphatidylethanolamine (18:1) (hereinafter referred to as "GPE (18:1)") or lysophosphatidylinositol (hereinafter referred to as "LPI") to the fruit and other plant tissues. Lysophospholipids such as LPE (18:1) and LPI were found to be superior to other lysophospholipids in delaying senescence and in inhibiting phospholipase D, a key enzyme in mediating membrane deterioration during of plant senescence. LPE (18:1) and LPI are naturally occurring and environmentally safe. Their use could replace many environmentally toxic compounds that are currently being used to retard senescence of flowers, fruits and leaves and to enhance fruit ripening.
La présente invention porte sur un procédé visant à accroître le mûrissement et la conservation des fruits et à retarder la sénescence des tissus des fruits et d'autres végétaux. Ce procédé consiste à appliquer sur les tissus des fruits et autres végétaux une quantité efficace d'un lysophospholipide tel que lysophosphatidyléthanolamine (18:1) (appelé ici "LPE" (18:1)) ou lysophosphatidylinositol (appelé ici "LPI"). Les lysophospholipides tels que LPE (18:1) et LPI s'avèrent être supérieurs à d'autres lysophospholipides pour retarder la sénescence et inhiber la phospholipase D, une enzyme clé de la détérioration de la membrane médiatrice dans la sénescence des végétaux. LPE (18:1) et LPI sont d'origine naturelle et sans danger pour l'environnement. Leur utilisation pourrait remplacer de nombreux composés toxiques pour l'environnement qui sont actuellement utilisés pour retarder la sénescence des fleurs, des fruits et des feuilles et accroître le mûrissement.
