“…Honeycrisp (DeLong et al 2004), Granny Smith (Pesis et al 2010) and Catarina (Miqueloto et al 2014) which are widely cultivated and frequently used as parents in apple breeding programs, display at least moderately susceptibility to the disorder, and thus carry unfavorable alleles of genes that control symptom expression.…”

Bitter pit is one of the most economically-important physiological disorders affecting apple fruit production, causing soft discrete pitting of the cortical flesh of the apple fruits, which renders them unmarketable. The disorder is heritable, however the environment and cultural practices play a major role in expression of symptoms. Bitter pit has been shown to be controllable to a certain extent using calcium sprays and dips, however, their use does not entirely prevent the incidence of the disorder.Previously, bitter pit has been shown to be controlled by two dominant genes, and markers on linkage group 16 of the apple genome were identified that were significantly associated with the expression of bitter pit symptoms in a genome wide association study. In this investigation, we identified a major QTL for bitter pit defined by two microsatellite (SSR) markers. The association of the SSRs with the bitter pit locus, and their ability to predict severe symptom expression, was confirmed through screening of individuals with stable phenotypic expression from an additional mapping progeny. The data generated in this current study suggest a two gene model could account for the control of bitter pit symptom expression, however, only one of the loci was detectable, most likely due to dominance of alleles carried by both parents of the mapping progeny used. The SSR markers identified are costeffective, robust and multi-allelic and thus should prove useful for the identification of seedlings with resistance to bitter pit using marker assisted selection in apple breeding programs.

“…CO 2 -related flesh injuries in 'Honeycrisp' fruit are evident during prolonged CA storage supplemented with 0.5Á3 kPa CO 2 (DeLong et al 2004;Watkins and Nock 2012;Contreras et al 2014). An increased incidence of CA-related disorders is typical for 'Empire' and 'McIntosh' apples exposed to 1-MCP (DeEll et al 2003;Fawbush et al 2008), and recently described for 'Honeycrisp' apples (Watkins and Nock 2012).…”

“…disorders (i.e., soggy breakdown and CA-related injury) during storage (DeLong et al 2004;Watkins et al 2004;Watkins and Nock 2012;Contreras et al 2014). Both disorders exhibit cortical tissue browning, although soggy breakdown includes moist and spongy flesh tissue, and may be accompanied by intense browning of vasculature; this disorder is most prominent under ambient air storage at low temperatures (i.e., 2.5Á38C; Meheriuk et al 1994;DeLong et al 2004;Watkins et al 2004), but absent in response to CA (Watkins and Nock 2012).…”

CA-related injury is visualized as cortical browning with non-defined borders, often accompanied by lens-shaped cavities (Watkins and Nock 2012;Contreras et al 2014).…”

. 2015. Controlled atmosphere-related injury in 'Honeycrisp' apples is associated with g-aminobutyrate accumulation. Can. J. Plant Sci. 95: 879Á886. 'Honeycrisp' apples (Malus )domestica Borkh.), including fruit treated with the ethylene antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), can be susceptible to controlled atmosphere (CA)-related injury of the flesh tissue during storage. To better understand the biomarkers associated with this physiological disorder, we compared the temporal responses of the universal stress signature, g-aminobutyrate (GABA), and visual symptoms of CA-related injury in apples subjected to elevated CO 2 . Fruit were treated with or without 1-MCP prior to CA [2.5 kPa O 2 , 5 (elevated) or 0.03 (ambient) kPa CO 2 ] storage at either 3 or 208C for up to 24 wk. At 208C, 1-MCP-treated apples displayed symptoms of CA-related injury by 3 wk of elevated CO 2 storage; a similar 15% disorder incidence was apparent by 6 wk in non 1-MCP-treated fruit. A maximal incidence of 30% for this disorder occurred after 24 wk at 38C in fruit held at elevated CO 2 , regardless of 1-MCP treatment. At 208C, GABA levels were 48% higher within 6 wk of the transfer of 1-MCP-treated fruit to elevated CO 2 . At 38C, a 2.6-fold increase in GABA level occurred by week 6 of elevated CO 2 storage, and was maintained for an additional 18 wk thereafter; a similar change in GABA level was apparent in non 1-MCP-treated fruit, albeit delayed until week 18 of storage. These findings indicate that shifts in GABA are associated with the onset of visual symptoms of CA-related injury in 'Honeycrisp' fruit in response to elevated CO 2 , regardless of 1-MCP.Key words: g-aminobutyrate, apple, controlled atmosphere, controlled atmosphere-related injury, 1-methylcylopropene Chiu, G.

“…While rapid cooling is generally recommended to preserve quality, delayed or gradual cooling may be useful to chilling sensitive crops to allow them to acclimatize or adapt to storage and handling conditions. Delays in cooling of apples after harvest can be used to reduce the development of low temperature stress induced orders in 'Honeycrisp' apples (DeLong et al, 2004). Similarly, delays in cooling can reduce CO 2 -induced internal browning in 'Braeburn' apples .…”
