Summary

The relationship between ethylene and peel alpha-farnesene concentrations was examined by applying diphenylamine (DPA) and the ethylene analogue, propylene at varying times after harvest to superficial scald (scald) susceptible 'Granny Smith' apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) stored at 10 °C. The relationship between internal ethylene and peel alpha-farnesene concentration was dependent on storage temperature, and the type of relationship was independent of cultivar. However, the magnitude of the relationship between cultivars was significantly different ('Granny Smith' produced significantly more alpha-farnesene than 'Crofton') and may be related to scald development.
