Summary
High-temperature conditioning treatments have been reported to enhance the chilling tolerance of a number of chilling-sensitive tissues. Electrolyte leakage and ethylene-forming enzyme activity were used as indices of thermotolerance. Air-filled cavities were also observed in fruits held at 42 deg C for 90 minutes. The results indicate that immersion in 42 deg C water can increase chilling tolerance in cucumbers.
