most common cultivated almond trees in Australia. We also included ‘Masbovera’ in our experiment, which is a relatively water use-efficient cultivar compared with other almond cultivars ( Gispert et al., 2009 ). The main aim of this study was to test
( Lilleland and Newsome, 1934 ; Tukey, 1934 ). In non-yellow cultivars, the color changes from green to yellow during Stage II and finally to red or black during early Stage III ( Serrano et al., 2005 ). During Stage I, pericarp fruit growth occurs mostly by
Abstract
The capacity to synthesize the stilbene resveratrol in response to UV irradiation is used as a measure of the phytoalexin production potential of grape berry skin. Greenhouse-grown berries after set, but before maturation, had high phytoalexin potential, whereas buds, flowers, and mature fruits had low potential. Stilbenes were not synthesized in the fleshly part of fruit and were found erratically in small amounts in noninduced berry skin. In field samples, ‘Concord’, ‘Cabernet Sauvigon’, and ‘Catawba’ had high resveratrol production potential whereas ‘White Riesling’, ‘Chancellor’, and ‘Cayuga White’ had low potential. The phytoalexin production potential decreased in all cultivars after late August, independent of their maturity.

Russeting is an important peel defect in many apple cultivars, and russeted fruit is subject to reduced value ( Faust and Shear, 1972a ). Apple cultivars differ in their susceptibility to russeting, and fruit in early stages of development is more
