Alleviation of Chilling Injury in Tropical and Subtropical Fruits

Chilling injury in tropical and subtropical fruits can be alleviated by low temperature preconditioning, intermittent warming, heat treatment, controlled atmosphere storage, treatments with calcium or other chemicals, waxing, film packaging, genetic modification, or applications with ethylene, abscisic acid, polyamines, methyl jasmonate, methyl salicylate, or other natural compounds. The effect...
