Red fleshed apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) differ in colour intensity between cultivars, seasons and sites. The objective of this study was to develop a procedure for predicting anthocyanin content from digital images ...

The pattern of cuticle deposition plays an important role in managing strain buildup in fruit cuticles. Cuticular strain is the primary trigger for numerous fruit-surface disorders in many fruit crop species. Recent evidence ...

Exposure of the fruit surface to moisture during early development is causal in russeting of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Moisture exposure results in formation of microcracks and de-creased cuticle thickness. Periderm ...
