‘Canino’ apricots and ‘Royal Zee’ plums were treated with 1000 nl l −1 1-methylcyclopropene
(1-MCP) at 20 C for 20 h following harvest before 0 C storage. After 5 days storage for …

… The intensity of the saturating light flash (1 s) used for the measurements of F m was 3000
μmol·m −2 s −1 . The variable fluorescence (F v ) was calculated as F m − F 0 . The ratio F v :F …

We previously reported that short exposure of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) fruits to
high temperature protects them from chilling injury. To study the involvement of heat-shock …

… It has long been assumed that scald is associated with the accumulation of volatile(s) during

We introduce here a new approach for improving the utilization of solar radiation by fruit trees.
This approach is based on selective filtration of the light by plastic shade nets (cloths) with …

Mature green tomatoes immediately after harvest were resistant to infection byBotrytis cinerea,
although if held for 2 days at 20 C they lost this resistance. Heat treatment (38 C for 3 days…

… Full deformation was measured 30 s after exerting the force on the fruit, then the weight
was removed and residual deformation was measured 15 s later. The firmer the fruit, the lower …
