Summary

CHILLING OF MATURE-GREEN (MG) TOMATO FRUIT (LYCOPERSICON ESCULENTUM MILL AND RELATED SPECIES) WAS INVESTIGATED TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF CHILLING STRESS ON SURFACE COLOUR DURING LOW-TEMPERATURE STORAGE. CHANGES IN SURFACE COLOUR OF MG FRUIT DURING CHILLING WERE NOT CORRELATED OVERALL WITH RELATIVE CHILLING SENSITIVITY OF CULTIVARS/LINES ; HOWEVER, WITHIN STANDARD AND CHERRY TYPES, CHILLING-TOLERANT FRUIT CHANGED SURFACE COLOUR MORE DURING CHILLING THAN CHILLING-SENSITIVE FRUIT WHEN FRUIT WERE PICKED EARLY IN THE SEASON. THE NUMBER OF HOURS BELOW 288.6 K (15.6 DEG C) IN THE 200 HOURS BEFORE HARVEST WAS POSITIVELY CORRELATED WITH POSTHARVEST CHILLING SENSITIVITY. TOBACCO MOSAIC VIRUS RESISTANCE LED TO LESS AND VERTICILLIUM ALBO-ATRUM REINKE AND BERTHIER RESISTANCE LED TO MORE CHILLING-INDUCED COLOUR CHANGE.
