Popis:	Two glasshouse experiments studied the effect of moisture stress on head and postharvest characters of broccoli. The work demonstrated that moisture stress occurring during head growth affected the postharvest shelf life of broccoli heads. The stage of head development at which moisture stress was applied determined which postharvest character was influenced. This suggests that the genes controlling these characters can be switched on at different times. Moisture stress imposed close to head maturity appeared to have a positive benefit in terms of both head colour and stem turgor.
