Tomato fruits were harvested at mature green stage and stored at 4, 20, 33°C and room temperature. The ethylene production by these fruits during the storage was studied along with carbon dioxide production.<br> At room temperature, a marked increase in ethylene production preceded the respiratory climacteric rise.<br> At 33°C, respiratory rate declined progressively and ethylene production was greatly reduced during the storage. When the fruits were transferred to room temperature, ethylene production was recovered to a half level of production at room temperature.<br> At 4°C, respiratory rate was repressed to low level and ethylene production was barely detectable during the storage. A large amount of carbon dioxide and a small quantity of ethylene were produced after the transfer to room temperature.<br> Ethylene treatment (50 ppm) at 20°C, caused mature green fruit to ripe earlier and to cause the climacteric rise in respiration also more rapidly. At 4 and 33°C, however, changes in respiratoy rate and progress of ripening were not observed.
