Differences in lipoxygenase activity as related to cultivar differences in superficial scald of apples
… between lipoxygenase activity (LOX) and superficial scald was studied in the four apple cultivars (Malus domesticus Borkh.), Granny Smith (GS), Red Delicious (RD), Golden Delicious (GD) and York (YK) to determine if LOX is the genetic source of superficial scald or a means of predicting % …

Exploring the genetic mechanisms underlying superficial scald development and prevention in apple fruit during postharvest storage.
… Among all the physiological disorders, superficial scald is one of the most challenging, causing discoloration and skin browning triggering therefore consumers unacceptance. The development of superficial scald in apple fruit is a complex process influenced by various factors, including …

Gamma and X-ray Irradiation Improve Postharvest Shelf-Life in 'Bartlett' Pears
… soluble solids contents, and occurrence of superficial scald was measured at the climacteric peak. Ripening was accelerated in all pears during storage, and by day 75, the fruit ripened in three days compared to seven days before storage. Ethylene production was decreased, and respiration …

Comparative Impacts of Irradiation on Antioxidant Compounds of Scalded and Non-scalded Skin of Granny Smith Apples
<p>Post-harvest Superficial scald affects the quality of Granny Smith Apples. Oxidative stress develops superficial scald with antioxidant systems mitigating the extent of this damage. This study evaluated the effects of gamma, X-ray, and electron beam irradiation on antioxidants – ascorbic acid, …

Impact of Gamma Irradiation on Post-harvest Disorders in 'Bartlett' Pears
… The levels of compounds associated with superficial scald, α-farnesene and conjugated trienes, were lower in the irradiated pears, however, the incidence of superficial scald was higher in irradiated samples with 28 % and 32 % in 470 and 940 Gy treated pears, respectively, compared to 17 …

Effect of Low Dose Irradiation on Expression of Genes Involved in Ethylene Biosynthesis of 'Granny Smith' Apples
<p>Superficial scald is a physiological disorder characterized by skin browning that appears during or after storage of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. The mechanism for scald development is not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that scald formation is related to increased ethylene production. In …

Physiology and control of apple scald
… dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1:S0D) activities and superficial scald and soft scald development in 'Virginiagold','Stayman', and 'Rome' apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) was investigated. 'Virginiagold' apples treated postharvest with an aqueous solution of diphenylamine (DPA) + 1,2, dihydro -6- …
