Apple Maturity Prediction: An Extension Tool to Aid Fruit Storage Decisions
TL;DR: The apple maturity program used in Michigan for determining this optimal harvest period-or "window" -incorporates a bloom date-based prediction and fruit maturity analyses as mentioned in this paper, which supports the contention that there is a harvest period during which fruit picked for longterm controlled-atmosphere storage maximize grower returns.

Factors affecting severity of bruises and degree of apparent bruise recovery in a yellow-skinned apple
TL;DR: It was concluded that harvest bruises and impact bruises with packing line belts can be managed relatively easily, ensuring almost complete apparent recovery, whereas packing line apple-to-apple impact bruises are more damaging and less likely to recover fully.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the allelotypic effect of two aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid synthase-encoding genes MdACS1 and MdACS3a on fruit ethylene production and softening in Malus.
TL;DR: Fruit ethylene production and softening were evaluated at five time points during a 20-day post-harvest period in 97 Malus accessions and in 34 progeny from 2 controlled crosses to better assess the roles of MdACS1 and MdACs3a.
Journal ArticleDOI
Timing of postharvest 1-methylcyclopropene treatment affects Bartlett pear quality after storage
TL;DR: The results suggest that 1-MCP treatment 3 d after harvest provided the best balance of reduced disorder development during storage and the ability of Bartlett pears to soften adequately thereafter, while treatment after 7 d provided less control of disorders than treatment after 1 or 3 d.

TL;DR: Evaluating new and promising apple cultivars in a range of geographical and climatic areas within North America found that ‘Shizuka’ were the largest trees, and had the highest yields, while the largest fruit were produced by ‘Arlet’.
