BACKGROUND Californian Granny Smith apples are very susceptible to bitter pit (BP) and superficial scald symptoms that develop during cold storage. The main preventive means are diphenylamine dipping and/or gaseous application of the ethylene inhibitor 1-methylcylclopropene (1-MCP), which is effective against superficial scald but not against BP. This study investigated the efficacy of a non-ch...

Background: It was found that, climatic conditions and fruit ripeness are important factor for the occurrence and intensity of superficial scald. 1-MCP is an inhibitor of ethylene action in plants and inhibits many ripening related processes along with the production of ethylene and volatiles. Objective: Apples are often held for several months at low temperature either in air (RA) or in con...

In a 2-year study, fruit from eight redand eight yellow-skinned ‘White Angel’× ‘Rome Beauty’ hybrid selections were stored for 21 weeks at 0.5°C plus 1 week at 20°C and evaluated for the incidence and severity of superficial scald. Five red-skinned (R-03, R-20, R-22, R-48 and R-85) and three yellow-skinned (Y-26, Y-55 and Y-65) selections were examined in both seasons. Peel-tissue samples taken...

Single warmings of ‘Cortland’, ‘Delicious’, ‘Granny Smith’ and ‘Pacific Rose’ apples to 20°C for 0–9 days after cold storage of 0–27 days were tested as a potential non-chemical method to control superficial scald development. Only in ‘Granny Smith’ was scald development reduced to commercially acceptable levels by warming, and even for this cultivar the response varied among growing regions. W...

Superficial scald is a postharvest disorder of apples related to increased ethylene production in stored fruit which leads α-farnesene accumulation and oxidation. Ionizing irradiation inhibits has been shown reduce superficial scald, but this phenomenon not explored at the molecular level. The goal study was determine effect on gene expression enzymes ‘Granny Smith’ apples. Irradiation 310 Gy c...

The relationship between ethylene and peel a-farnesene concentrations was examined by applying diphenylamine (DPA) and the ethylene analogue, propylene at varying times after harvest to superficial scald (scald) susceptible ‘Granny Smith’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) stored at 10°C. Delaying DPA application after harvest had no large effect on ethylene or on peel a-farnesene production. Prop...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 ConCluSionS: Xenografting appears to be a reasonable option for patients with partial-thickness scald injuries. The cost, LOS, HAIs, and ICU days for the Xenografting cohort fell in-between the Non-Op and Autografting cohorts, as would be expected. While non-operative management may be appropriate for small/superficial burns, and Autografting may be required for large/d...
