| Keywords: | Prunus armeniaca, fruit quality, evolution, ripening |
| Abstract:
Ethylene production of apricot cultivars expressing a wide variability in ripening duration was studied during ripening on the tree and during post-harvest in air at 23°C. Regression equations were set up to predict ethylene production, expressed as neperian logarithm, from the sum of degree-days from flowering. The same equations fitted all the studied cultivars. | |
