Notes:
Apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) were heated for 4 days at 38°C immediately after harvest and then placed at 20°C for 7–10 days. Protein synthesis, ethylene production and fruit softening were reversibly inhibited by the heat treatment. Fruit respiration, membrane permeability and chlorophyll degradation in the fruit peel were enhanced during the treatment. The heat-treated apples ripened normally but more slowly than untreated apple We hypothesize that heat treatment differentially affects processes which normally increase simultaneously during fruit ripening, by inhibiting those processes which require tie novo protein synthesis and enhancing those that do not.
