Popis: | Superficial scald is a severe postharvest physiological disorder of apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) that strikes apples during or after removal from cold storage. Currently, it is effectively prevented by DPA, but human health concerns may prevent reregistration. Ethylene and auto-oxidation products (radicals) of α-farnesene are implicated in scald development. Ethylene signaling proceeds via CTR1, a MAPK that may require farnesylation via FPT for activity. 'Granny Smith' apples were treated with 1-MCP and FPTI to block ethylene action and farnesylation, respectively, and stored under RA or CA (1% O 2 ) conditions for 7-8 months. After seven days at 19°C, apples treated with MCP showed low scald (RA) or no scald (CA).[...] |
