Abstract
Abstract Sunscald was induced by exposing fruit of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum mill.) to intense solar radiation; similar injury was caused by radiation from incandescent lamps. Injurious radiation treatments caused fruit temperature to exceed 40°C and altered fruit respiration rates. High air temperatures enhanced injury, but exposure to 0 to 100% O 2 concentrations during radiation treatments had little influence on fruit response. Infrared wavelengths (>0.7 µm) were effective in inducing injury. Tissue water may serve as an important absorber of radiant energy. Overheating of the fruit appeared to be the main cause of injury, and storage at different temperatures, photoperiods, or O 2 levels did not reverse injury induced by previous irradiation.
