Roles of ethylene in the development of superficial scald in "Cortland" apples.

Summary

Ethylene seems to be critically involved in scald development, stimulating accumulation of alpha-farnesene and conjugated trienes in fruit peel. Ethylene production or ripeness of fruit at the time they are placed in storage seems to affect the levels of conjugated trienes that accumulate in fruit peel late in storage, perhaps by affecting the way in which alpha-farnesene is metabolized. How a given condition or treatment will affect scald development may be determined by the balance it produces between these rapid and delayed responses to ethylene.
