Abstract:14CO2 was applied to apples and bananas that were stored at various temperatures and the incorporation of 14C into oxalacetate was determined. Apples that were susceptible to internal breakdown showed an initial decrease in incorporation as the storage temperature was reduced but incorporation then increased at temperatures below 10°C (Jonathan) or 5°C (Twenty Ounce). Apples that were not susceptible to breakdown (Delicious and Granny Smith) showed no incorporation at any temperature. Green bananas showed a mi… Show more
