Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The rate of ethylene evolution, 1-amino cyclopropane 1-carboxlylic acid (ACC) content, ACC oxidase activity and free polyamines were monitored during fruit ripening of two guava cultivars (Psidium guajava) i.e., L-49 (shelf life 7-8 days) and Hisar Safeda (shelf life 3-4 days). Ethylene evolution and ACC oxidase activity were substantially high at turning (T) stage and low at the later stages of fruit ripening, indicating the climacteric nature of the fruit. Contrary to this, ACC content increased progressively throughout ripening, suggesting that ACC oxidase was the rate-limiting step in the biosynthetic pathway of ethylene. The level of putrescine, spermidine and spermine was minimum at the onset of climacteric, suggesting a competition for a common intermediate, S-adenosylmethionine, which, at T stage, is channeled toward ethylene and at later stages, toward polyamines. Less ethylene and higher level of polyamines in L-49 than in Hisar Safeda may be one of the reasons for the prolonged shelf life of L-49. © 2008, Blackwell Publishing.
