Epidermal ultrastructural mechanism of chilling-injured citrus fruit.

ABSTRACT :

 

Scanning electron microscope examination of the epidermal cells of grapefruit cv. Marsh and lemon cv. Villa franca fruits that had been stored at low temperature (2 deg C), but did not yet have visible signs of chilling injury (CI), revealed cracks around the stomata, inside which calcium oxalate crystals grew. Water loss increased significantly after removing these fruits from cold storage to display at 20 deg C, before the appearance of visual superficial pitting on the peel. Loss of water was found to serve as a nondestructive predictor of CI prior to visible symptoms, since it was significantly correlated with the damage index in both grapefruits and lemons.
