The endogenous levels of abscisic acid (ABA) in zucchini squash were increased by temperature conditioning at 10 degrees C for 2 days. This temperature conditioning treatment reduced the severity of chilling injury in the squash during subsequent storage at 2.5 degrees C. The ABA levels remained higher in treated squash than in untreated samples throughout the storage. Direct treatments of squash with ABA at 0.5 and 1.0 mM before storage at 2.5 degrees C increased ABA levels in the tissue and were also effective in reducing chilling injury.
