Summary

C. latifolia fruits were treated with 0 or 250 mg giberellic acid (GA3)/litre and stored at temperatures of 8 or 10 °C for 28 days. Low temperatures retarded the degreening of fruits compared with storage at ambient temperature. The largest percentage of commercial fruits (dark green and/or green) was obtained at 10 °C, GA3 prevented degreening more at low than ambient temperature.
