Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ABSCISIC ACID (ABA) CONCENTRATION IN CHINESE CABBAGE INCREASED DURING STORAGE AT 273 K (0 DEG C) IN AIR. THIS INCREASE WASREDUCED IN A LOW-O2 (1%) ATMOSPHERE. AT THE END OF 12 WEEKS OF STORAGE, ABA CONTENT IN OUTER LAMINAE FROM 1% O2 STORAGE WAS LESS THAN HALF OF THAT FROM AIR STORAGE. LOW-OXYGEN STORAGE ALSO DELAYED THE YELLOWING OF OUTER LAMINAE AND MAINTAINED A HIGHER CHLOROPHYLL CONTENT. THE LEVELS OF ACC IN ALL PARTS OF CHINESE CABBAGE WERE LOW AND INCREASED ONLY IN OUTER MIDRIBS AFTER 2 MONTHS OF STORAGE.
