Ngouajio, 2012 ; Krueger et al., 2015 ; Serrano Ruiz et al., 2020 ; Sintim et al., 2019 ). Proper storage of mulches before use is important to minimize degradation and to ensure satisfactory performance in the field. BDM manufacturers recommend that

). Dry storage (i.e., dry after-ripening) is a very effective means of breaking tanglehead seed dormancy. Seeds that have undergone a dry after-ripening period exhibit faster germination rates ( Tothill, 1977 ) and high percent germination (80% to 90

compounds like sulfites, L-cysteine, ascorbic acid, and/or citric acid ( Rocculi et al., 2007 ; Sapers and Miller, 1995 ), storage under controlled atmosphere conditions ( Angós et al., 2008 ), modified atmosphere or vacuum packaging ( Beltrán et al., 2005

Most storage losses in the Swedish apple industry are caused by bruising and fungal decay. Harvesting and postharvest operations (especially grading, packing, and distribution) can cause a high degree of fruit bruising, resulting in a marked

‘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

vegetative and reproductive sinks ( Hicklenton, 1990 ; Williams, 1988 ). Manipulation of sinks capacity may enhance sweetpotato yield through assimilates repartitioning. The sweetpotato is a storage root and a major carbohydrate sink. Suppressing the growth

cortical tissue and manifested as brown or black patches on the fruit skin, is the most devastating physiological disorder of ‘Anjou’ fruit during long-term storage ( Chen et al., 1990b ; Whitaker, 2007 ). The cellular damage to the peel is thought to be

should also remain viable in dry storage for more than 1 year. Based on the previous text, the objective of the present study is to determine the optimum temperature for germination, while also assessing the effect of storage time on the seed viability of

) 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
