The function of anthocyanins in green, vegetative tissues has always been a contentious issue. Here we evaluate their proposed photoprotective function since recent findings have shown that anthocyanins reduce photoinhibition and photobleaching of ch

Sunburn is a physiological disorder that affects the visual quality of apple (Malus Domestica) fruit. In South Africa, producers estimate yield losses of up to 50% in green cultivars due to sunburn damage. Recent research in Japan has found that foli

Apple trees that do not receive adequate winter chill show poor bud break, uneven and delayed blooming that impact negatively on tree architecture and fruit production. Previous research indicates that the endodormancy progression of such trees diffe
