TL;DR: Limiting homozygosity of the deleterious haplotype at the LG2 QTL through marker-assisted breeding would be a valid strategy to limit soft scald and soggy breakdown incidences in apple seedling populations.

Effect of fruit maturity on the incidence of bitter pit, senescent breakdown, and other post-harvest disorders in ‘Honeycrisp’tm apple
TL;DR: There is an optimum maturity (harvest date) in ‘Honeycrisp’tm apples, when the fruit are of sufficient size and colour to meet market requirements, with minimum risk of manifesting the two calcium-related disorders, bitter pit and senescent breakdown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed controlled atmosphere storage affects storage disorders of ‘Empire’ apples
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of delayed controlled atmosphere (CA) storage on the development of storage disorders in "Empire" apples, in combination with postharvest 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment, to maintain fruit firmness during long-term storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Summer pruning effects on fruit size, fruit quality, return bloom and fine root survival in apple trees
TL;DR: The carbohydrate supply and demand balance model feasibly explains summer pruning influences and the impact of carbohydrate shortage after summer pruned is likely to be mediated by the reduction in canopy transpiration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between starch pattern indices and starch concentrations in four apple cultivars
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the starch pattern index (SPI) and starch concentration in the fruit during maturation and ripening was investigated, showing that the relationship was curvilinear for all cultivars.
