Abstract
SUMMARY Dipping plantain fruits in gibberellins (GA4/7 or GA3) delayed the ripening of individual fruits by approximately 50%, the two treatments being equally effective. Measurement of the preclimacteric period (PCP) by increased respiration showed that plantain fruits vacuum infiltrated with GA4/7 (10‐5 M) gave an extension of 37% in the PCP under high humidity. No effect was observed at low humidity. The use of gibberellins on plantain storage is discussed.
