Ethylene delays onset of woolly breakdown in cold-stored peaches.

Author(s) : SONEGO L., LERS A., KHALCHITSKI A., et al.

Summary

Peach cv. Hermosa fruits were stored at 0 °C in a flow through system which supplied ethylene at concentrations of 0, 1, 10 or 100 microl/litre. Fruits were examined during 6 weeks of storage, at removal from 0 °C and after 5 days at 20 °C. The onset of woolly breakdown was delayed and its severity was reduced following exposure to ethylene at 1 or 10 microl/litre. Fruit softening was not significantly affected by ethylene treatment.
