Summary

KIWIFRUIT WERE STORED FOR UP TO 24 WEEKS IN 2% O2 AND 0, 3, 5, AND 7% CO2 AT 273 K (0 DEG C). THE INFLUENCE OF EXPOSURE TO 0.5 OR 1 MICROLITRE/LITRE C2 H4 WAS EVALUATED. THE RATE OF SOFTENING WAS REDUCED IN PROPORTION TO THE CO2 LEVEL AND WAS ACCELERATED BY C2 H4 . THE PRESENCE OF WHITE CORE INCLUSIONS UNDER CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERES PLUS C2 H4 WAS DEPENDENT UPON THE CO2 CONCENTRATION. TWO OTHER PHYSIOLOGICAL DISORDERS WERE INFLUENCED BY THE COMBINATION OF ELEVATED CO2 AND C2 H4 . THE RESULTS SUGGEST THAT THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF INTER-ACTIONS BETWEEN CO2 AND C2 H4 , COMPETITION AND SYNERGISM.
