‘Honeycrisp’ apples can be highly susceptible to the development of low temperature storage disorders such as soft scald (an external injury) and soggy breakdown (an internal injury) ( Lachapelle et al., 2013 , 2017 ; Tong et al., 2003 ; Wargo

-Bachir, 1998 ). These studies show that for both fruit, blueberries and grapes, irradiation at 400 Gy has little impact on quality under ideal storage temperatures. What is unknown is the effect of subsequent distribution and retail display under ambient

) first suggested the link between lateral root (LR) development and storage root formation. Growing conditions during the transition from primary to secondary growth directly influence the onset of storage root formation, which is marked by the appearance

Smallholder farmers in developing countries do not have easy access to cold storage for several reasons. Cold storages with good control of temperature and humidity are energy intensive and expensive, involve a large initial capital investment, and
