 | | Variable responses of fruit to storage may be related to effects of growing environment on diffusivity of the skin to CO2 and O2 and temperature sensitivity, an area that has received little attention. |
 | | Varieties also vary widely in susceptibility to storage disorders such as superficial scald, low temperature breakdown and senescent breakdown (Barden and Bramlage, 1994a,b; Barden and Greene, 1997; Wolk et al., 1998) and postharvest factors need to be taken in to account in selection of new varieties for North American apple industries. |
 | | Historically, research into the augmentation of storage atmospheres with CO2 dates to the 1930's when it was determined that doing so would retard softening and decay under conditions of poor temperature control (a commonly encountered problem at that time) (Brooks et al., 1936; Thornton, 1931). |
