Abstract
Abstract Fruit of ‘Spartan’ apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.) trees treated in April with paclobutrazol maintained greater firmness and had less internal breakdown than control fruit after 7 months in storage at 0°C. However, ACC level, ethylene production, respiration, soluble solids, sorbitol, fructose, glucose, sucrose, and malic acid content of the fruit after 0° storage and during ripening at 20° were not affected. Chemical names used: β-[(4-chlorophenyl)methyl]-α-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1 H - 1,2,4-triazole-1-ethanol (paclobutrazol); 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC).
