Abstract:Fruit discards due to physiological disorders and mechanical damage can exceed 50% of apple production in neotropical climate zones such as Uruguay. These damages become generally visible during ripening and storage, but they depend on factors that occur in the field. Sunburn is a major quality defect in fruit, known to be related to high radiation and temperatures, and, more recently, it has also been related to the water status of tissues in fruit and trees. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship betw… Show more
