LEARN MORE ************** To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords: climacteric: a pattern of fruit ripening associated with increased ethylene production and a rise in cellular respiration (meaning that the fruit can ripen off the plant) nonclimacteric: ripening that is not characterized by a peak of ethylene production or respiration (and must happen on the plant) SUPPORT MINUTEEARTH ************************** If you like what we do, you can help us!: - Become our patron: https://patreon.com/MinuteEarth - Share this video with your friends and family - Leave us a comment (we read them!)
