Physiological responses of horticultural products to low temperature in relation to the shelf life.

[In Japanese. / En japonais.]

Author(s) : CHACHIN K.

Summary

In this study, physiological responses of horticultural products to low temperature and the associated metabolic changes are discussed in relation to shelf life and chilling injury, indicating some phenomena of metabolic changes and dysfunction induced by low temperature such as changes in phenolic metabolism and the resultant discoloration in water convolvulus and egg plant fruit, alternation of respiratory chain and mitochodrial function in cucumber fruit and potatoes, and the complexity of responses to low temperature and the induced metabolic events in potatoes.
