The chilling conditions of apple cold storage can provoke an economically significant necrotic peel disorder called superficial scald (scald) in susceptible cultivars. Disorder development can be reduced by inhibiting ethylene action or oxidative stress as well as intermittent warming. It was previously demonstrated that scald is preceded by a metabolomic shift that results in altered levels of...

The effectiveness of initial low oxygen stress (ILOS) to control apple scald without postharvest application of scald inhibitors and fungicides was investigated. Scald susceptible (‘Granny Smith’, ‘Law Rome’, ‘Red Delicious’) and not susceptible (‘Idared’) fruits were harvested preclimacterically and treated at 1°C with (1) ILOS pretreatment or (2) no pretreatment as control. Fruit were then st...

Definitions It is very important for the clinician caring for a burn victim to know the depth, or degree, of burn. A first-degree burn is superficial, dry, painful to touch, and heals in less than 1 week. A second-degree burn is partial thickness and pink or possibly mottled red. It exhibits bullae or frank weeping on the surface. It usually is painful unless classified as deep and heals in 1 t...

The research was carried out at the Federal Research Center named after I.V. Michurin (Tambov region, Russia), using a promising apple cultivar Berkutovskoye with high susceptibility to superficial scald. aim of study influence storage technologies different oxygen content in atmosphere on losses from scald and other diseases fruit cv. Berkutovskoye. Control 1-MCP-treated fruits were stored und...

Pre-storage treatment of superficial scald-susceptible apple and pear fruits with the blocker of ethylene action 1-methylcyclopropene (1CP) inhibits the synthesis of -farnesene. Consequently, accumulation of -farnesene and its conjugated trienol (CTol) oxidation products n the fruit skin is diminished, and scald is largely prevented. In cold-stored apple fruit, a marked increase in expression o...
