Differential rates of water loss were achieved in picked avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruits, either by controlling the evaporation rate or by supplying water through the fruit stalk. A negative linear correlation was found between the daily rate of water loss from fruits and their ripening, as determined by the time from harvest to peak of ethylene production. Ripening rate was hastened by 40% in fruits which had lost water at rate of 2.9% fresh weight per day, compared with those which lost only 0.5% per day.
通过控制蒸发速率或通过果柄供水，在采摘的鳄梨（Persea americana Mill.）果实中实现了不同的失水速率。从收获到乙烯产生峰值的时间所确定的果实每日失水速率与其成熟度之间存在负线性相关。与每天仅失水0.5%的果实相比，每天以2.9%鲜重的速率失水的果实成熟速率加快了40%。
