Abstract: |
Postharvest stresses and storability of bulbs of onion and garlic. Definition of biotic and abiotic stresses and physiological disorders. Frost injury as an abiotic stress. Sensitivity of various fruits and vegetables to cold injuries and the symptoms they cause. Factors influencing the susceptibility of a plant part or horticultural crop to frost injury. Physiology of frost injury. Postharvest techniques for addressing and limiting the symptoms of frost injury. Preharvest frost injuries. Injuries from freezing. Classification of fruits and vegetables into categories based on their susceptibility to freezing. Factors affecting the severity of freezing damage. Relationship between the water content of fruits and vegetables and their susceptibility to freezing. Classification of physiological disorders in fruits and vegetables according to the cause: high temperatures, storage atmosphere (low O2, high CO2, ethylene), senescence, and other factors. Presentation of the main postharvest attacks from pests and diseases and ways to deal with them.
