`Fallglo' (Bower citrus hybrid [Citrus reticulata Blanco × (C. reticulata Blanco × C. paradisi Macf.)] × `Temple' [C. reticulata Blanco × C. sinensis L.] is an early season tangerine that is reportedly hypersensitive to ethylene exposure during degreening. The effects of ethylene exposure time, waxing, and storage temperature on `Fallglo' color were examined to assess degreening strategies. Exposure to 5 μL·L-1 ethylene for 24 or 48 hours hastened degreening, and internal ethylene levels increased following the time periods of ethylene exposure. Fruit not exposed to ethylene, or exposed for shorter periods (2 or 6 hours), degreened slowly during storage at 15.5 °C and internal ethylene levels remained low. Low-temperature storage (4.5 °C) or waxing hindered degreening after ethylene exposure but decreased water loss. Degreening after ethylene exposure was faster for fruit stored at 15.5 than 26.5 °C.

Tubers from 7 potato varieties were analyzed for their rates of glycoalkaloid accumulation in response to stresses of three types of mechanical injury and low temperature storage. Mechanical injuries were found to greatly stimulate glycoalkaloid accumulation in both peel and flesh of tubers. The extent of glycoalkaloid accumulation appears to depend on variety, type of mechanical injury, and storage period. Most of the injury-stimulated glycoalkaloid accumulation occurred within 7 and 14 days after treatment. Cutting the tubers resulted in the highest content of glycoalkaloids both in flesh and peel up to levels that exceeded the upper safety limit of 200 mg/kg FW. Injury stimulated α-solanine accumulation in stored potato tubers is more than α-chaconine, resulting in a decrease in the α-chaconine: α-solanine ratio. When tubers were stored at low temperature, the rate of glycoalkaloid accumulation was found to be independent of the glycoalkaloid level at harvest. The greatest increase in total glycoalkaloid content of the seven varieties was found after two weeks of storage at both 4 ºC and 10 ºC. Further storage at these temperatures resulted in a decrease in the rate of glycoalkaloid accumulation in most of them. At 10 ºC glycoalkaloid content tended to increase more rapidly than at 4 ºC. The α-solanine content of the tubers showed an increase following low temperature storage.

The effects of harvest maturity of mangos (Mangifera indica L.) on storage tinder various low-temperature regimes and the influence of storage on quality development during subsequent ripening at higher temperatures were investigated. The capacity for storage of mango fruit depended on harvest maturity, storage temperature, and the time of harvest within the season. Development of peel and pulp color, soluble solids concentration, pH, and softening in `Amelie', `Tommy Atkins', and `Keitt' mangos occurred progressively during storage for up to 21 days at 12C. Based on the level of ripening change that occurred during 12C storage, immature fruit showed superior storage capacity than fruit harvested at more-advanced stages of physiological maturity. On transfer to ripening temperatures (25C); however, immature fruit failed to develop full ripeness characteristics. Mature and half-mature fruit underwent limited ripening during storage at 12C, the extent of which increased with progressive harvests during the season. Ripening changes during storage for 21 days were less at 8 and 10C than at 12C. Chilling injury, as indicated by inhibition of ripening, was found at all harvest stored at 8C, and in early season harvests stored at 10C. Fruit from mid- and late-season harvests stored better at 10 than at 12C, with no apparent signs of chilling injury. Flavor of mangos ripened after low-temperature storage was less acceptable than of those ripened immediately after harvest. Suggestions are made for maximizing storage potential by controlling harvest maturity and storage temperature for progressive harvests throughout the season.

Phosphate compounds (NH4H2PO4, KH2PO4 and CaH4(PO4)2 in 1982; NH4H2PO4 in 1983) applied to McIntosh apple trees as six foliar sprays at weekly intervals starting 4 wk after bloom, increased leaf and fruit P, decreased loss of firmness under some storage conditions and decreased incidence of low-temperature storage disorders. Phosphate sprays improved firmness retention of apples stored in either 5% CO2 plus 3% O2 or 0.7% CO2 plus 1% O2 in 1982 and maintained fruit firmness during a simulated shelf life at 20 °C for apples stored at 0 °C. Firmness retention at 20 °C of the 1983 crop was improved by monobasic ammonium phosphate regardless of storage temperature. Apple samples from unsprayed control trees had mean phosphorus concentrations of 85.4 and 94.4 ppm fresh weight in 1982 and 1983, respectively (whole fruit less seeds and stems).Key words: Apple, fruit phosphorus, low temperature breakdown, core flush

AbstractCapitulum mitella is a tropical/sub-tropical intertidal barnacle of high economic value. However, no studies have yet focused on the effects of the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that affect the metamorphosis of this species. The current study stored cyprids at room temperature (24–26°C) and low temperature (7°C) and then compared the effects of age and storage temperature on cyprid metamorphosis. The effects of salinity and temperature on cyprid metamorphosis and survival were examined. Results showed the following. (1) Young 0-day cyprids were not competent to metamorphose, and C. mitella cyprids had a pre-competent phase. (2) The cyprid metamorphosis percentage at different storage temperatures with the same age was higher at room temperature than at 7°C. Low temperature storage of cyprids appeared to be unsuitable for C. mitella. The ideal storage time at room temperature for cyprids was 3–5 days. (3) The cyprids could complete metamorphosis at a salinity range of 20–45 mg l−1, and the optimum salinity range for metamorphosis was 25–35 mg l−1. At 15 mg l−1 salinity, the cyprids could survive but failed to metamorphose. (4) The cyprids could survive and complete metamorphosis at 18–36°C, and the optimum temperature range for metamorphosis was 21–33°C. The metamorphosis of C. mitella cyprids can tolerate a wide spectrum of salinity and temperature, which is related to the distribution location, habitat environment and lifestyle. Results of this study may provide a basis for the settlement biology, recruitment ecology and aquaculture of this species.

Fragmented spinach chloroplasts were stored for one year in 0.5 M sucrose at −40 °C. with almost negligible losses of photochemical activity. Thawed chloroplasts and freshly isolated chloroplasts showed similar rates of deterioration at 10 °C. Washed chloroplasts did not show as high retention of activity during low temperature storage as crude chloroplast suspensions. High retentions of activity were observed with chloroplasts from different plant species, as well as with different oxidants. The activities of subsamples that were frozen and thawed in a standard way agreed within 5%. Deterioration during lyophilization of chloroplasts occurred chiefly during the early stages of drying, and was lessened by sucrose. The stability of lyophilized chloroplasts in storage varied directly with the degree of desiccation and inversely with the storage temperature; little deterioration occurred in thoroughly dried chloroplasts during lengthy storage at or below 5 °C.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh degreening dengan berbagai konsentrasi etephone dan suhu penyimpanan pada kualitas buah jeruk selama penyimpanan. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan dua faktor perlakuan, level konsentrasi ethephon dan suhu penyimpanan terdiri dari 2 level (28 ± 2 ? dan 18 ± 2 ?). Analisis varian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi berbagai konsentrasi ethephon dalam proses degreening dan penyimpanan suhu menunjukkan efek yang signifikan (p <0,05) pada penurunan berat buah, total padatan terlarut, perbedaan warna tekstur, vitamin C dan total asam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi perlakuan penyimpanan suhu rendah dengan konsentrasi 700 ppm etephon adalah perlakuan terbaik untuk membentuk warna jingga pada kulit jeruk dan mempertahankan umur simpan buah jeruk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of degreening with various concentrations of ethephones and storage temperatures on the quality of citrus fruits during storage. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatment factors; the concentration level of ethephon and storage temperature consisting of 2 levels (28 ± 2 ? and 18 ± 2 ?). Variant analysis showed that the interaction of various concentrations of ethephon in the degreening and temperature storage process showed a significant effect (p <0.05) on decreasing fruit weight, total dissolved solids, differences in texture color, vitamin C and total acid. The results showed that the combination of low temperature storage treatment with a concentration of 700 ppm ethephon was the best treatment to form orange color on orange peel and maintain the shelf life of citrus fruits.
