Title: Effect of temperature on anthocyanin accumulation in apple fruit as affected by cultivar, stage of fruit ripening and bagging

The changes in anthocyanin accumulation during ripening varied with temperature, cultivar and bagging or otherwise. In 'Jonathan', the optimum temperature for anthocyanin accumulation increased clearly from 15°C to 25°C in non-bagged and from 20°C to 25°C in bagged fruit as it ripened. In 'Fuji' and 'Jonagold', 20 and 15°C, respectively, were always the optimum for anthocyanin synthesis in non-bagged and bagged apples. In non-bagged and bagged 'Tsugaru', the optimum temperaturfe increased from 15°C to 20°C with ripening.Read More
