Summary

Development of disorders during postharvest ripening and storage of fruit depends on a range of preharvest factors, mainly maturity of fruit at harvest. Other factors may be just as important in ripening-related disorders and in determining how fruit respond to low temperatures or other imposed postharvest conditions. Fruiting position on the tree and fruit temperature history are two of the most important of these factors. Examples are given for apples and avocados.
