without cold storage ( Hong and Ellis, 1996 ). Germplasms within a species can vary drastically, especially when there are geographic differences. Genetic variation among populations along a geographic gradient can suggest the presence of clinal variation
whether differential storage N levels in spurs influence spur leaf formation in spring; and 4) determine whether fall foliar urea applications affect the development of cold-hardiness. Materials and Methods The following experiments were conducted at
., 2012 ). Cold storage at 5 °C ( Wang and Zhu, 2017 ), short-term hot water application ( Nasef, 2018 ), ozone treatment ( Glowacz et al., 2015 ), and MAP ( Manjunatha and Anurag, 2014 ) were also tested and found to be effective in preventing cucumber
containing the 15 fruit per genotype were placed on open racks in a refrigerated room (first year: 4.0 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 2% RH; second year 3.9 ± 0.3 °C and 89 ± 3% RH) for 7 d, to simulate commercial cold storage conditions. Note that due to the lower yield
shoots per plant. The remaining 30 plants, and those once removed from cold storage, were randomly allocated to each of the three forcing treatment environments identified as: cool (shade house with no temperature control), warm (greenhouse heated at 15
temperature, chestnuts have much higher starch and moisture contents (40% to 60% water), thereby making the nuts highly perishable and susceptible to spoilage ( Ertan et al., 2015 ). Chestnuts require cold storage between 0 and 4 °C immediately after harvest
. The objective of this work was to investigate the effects of 1-MCP on ‘Empire’ and ‘Delicious’ apples in commercial CA storage for 12 months, as well as in commercial cold storage for 6 months. Materials and methods Apple harvest and treatment. ‘Empire
MaRING1 functionally coordinated with MaMYC2a in response to the cold stress of banana fruit ( Chen et al., 2014 ). Cold storage is an effective method that is used to prolong the postharvest qualities and extend the shelf life of a broad range of
maturity, and shows high metabolic activity during postharvest. Consequently, fruit quality declines fast and the postharvest management conditions (e.g., pretreatments, storage, and transport) must be carefully selected ( Ngamchuachit et al., 2014 ). Cold
‘Honeycrisp’ apples develop the disorders soft scald and soggy breakdown in cold storage, particularly at temperatures below 3 °C ( Watkins et al., 2003 ). Soft scald is a low-temperature disorder that is characterized by sharply defined
