Summary

THE EFFECTS OF 11% CO ADDED TO AIR OR TO 4% O2 WITH ABOUT 5% CO2 ON BROWN ROT DEVELOPMENT OF PEACHES -[PRUNUS PERSICA (L.)] WERE EVALUATED AT 278 K (5 DEG C) FOR 14 DAYS FOLLOWED BY 3 DAYS AT 293 K (20 DEG C) IN AIR. THE ADDITION OF 11% CO TO 4% O2 + OR -5% CO2 ATMOSPHERES COMPLETELY INHIBITED GROWTH OF MONILINIA FRUCTICOLA IN VITRO AND IN VITRO THE NORMAL RATE OF ROT DEVELOPMENT RESUMED ONCE INOCULATED PLATES AND FRUITS WERE TRANSFERRED TO AIR AT 293 K. CO ADDED TO AIR STIMULATED CO2 AND C2H4 PRODUCTION AND ENHANCED SOFTENING, BUT ITS EFFECTS WERE INSIGNIFICANT WHEN ADDED TO 4% O2, 5% CO2, OR THEIR COMBINATION. CA TREATMENTS WITHOUT CO DECREASED RESPIRATION AND C2H4 PRODUCTION RATES AND DELAYED SOFTENING. INTERNAL BREAKDOWN INCIDENCE AND SEVERITY WERE SLIGHTLY REDUCED BY CO AND INCREASED BY CO2.
