Summary

STORED < JONATHAN > APPLE FROM POORLY AERATED TRICKLE-IRRIGATE D PLOTS HAD A HIGH INCIDENCE OF < JONATHAN BREAKDOWN > AND, FROM SPRINKLE-IRRIGATED PLOTS, < SENESCENT BREAKDOWN >. THE FLESH WAS HIGH IN ETHANOL AT PICKING TIME AND IN ACETALDEHYDE AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF STORAGE. HIGH ETHANOL LEVELS AFTER 4 MONTHS WERE RELATED TO A HIGH ETHYLENE PRODUCTION. THE ACID CONTENT WAS DIRECTLY CORRELATED WITH THE ACETALDEHYDE CONTENT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. THE ACETALDEHYDE CONTENT OF FRUIT FROM PLOTS SUFFERING FROM ROOT HYPOXIA ROSE AFTER 3 MONTHS AT 274 K (1 DEG C). THE ETHANOL CONTENT OF HEALTHY FRUIT DECREASED DURING STORAGE.
