TL;DR: The data suggest that in sensitive fruit a cold response program is activated and regulated by auxin distribution and ethylene and these hormones have a role in sensitivity to CI even before fruit are cold stored, and in the case of browning, that elevated acetaldehyde related genes together with the core cold responses may increase sensitivity to browning in shelf life.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the time of harvest is critical in determining the storage potential of the ‘September Snow’ peaches, and for optimal effect of GA 3, and a combination of early harvest and GA 3 application at the end of pit hardening can improve the cold storage life of this peach cultivar.

TL;DR: In this article, the optical parameters of absorption coefficient and reduced scattering coefficient were measured on nectarine (Prunus persica cv. Morsiani 90) fruit held at 20°C after harvest or after 30 d of storage at 0°C or 4°C.

TL;DR: Although thaumatin-like proteins accumulated to high levels in cell walls of chilling injury-sensitive ‘Hermoza’, the kinetics of transcript accumulation suggest that the early appearance of the transcript for this protein family might be involved in shielding the fruit from the dramatic cell wall-structure changes that accompany the onset of chilling Injury in stone fruit, and that result in woolliness development.

TL;DR: Firmness decay during shelf-life was analyzed by non-linear regression, using the IAD measured at harvest to determine the maturity of the fruit and to estimate the biological shift factor (BSF) which is related to the biological age of fruit.
