Having been held in 10 μL/L 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) or air for 18 h, seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb. Mansfeld, cv. Millionaire) fruit was cut to obtain pericarp cylinders (7 mm in diameter, 40 mm thick), which were rinsed with 2% CaCl_2 or deionized water and then stored at 10℃. Tissue firmness, electrolyte leakage and activities of phospholipase C (PLC), phospholipase D (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) were determined. Results suggested that 2% CaCl_2 stimulated activities of phospholipase C (PLC), phospholipase C (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX), but maintained tissue firmness throughout storage. CaCl_2 alone may not be sufficient to maintain quality of fresh-cut watermelon and even would exert negative effects for stimulating lipolytic enzymes. 1-MCP counteracted CaCl_2 in regulation of PLC, PLD and LOX. Combination of 1-MCP and CaCl_2 retarded the ripening process, as illustrated by higher firmness and lower activities of lipolytic enzymes in relative to the control.
