e0“to determine if red color development could be enhanced without over-ripening `Gala' and `Jonagold' apples”
e4“The delay of fruit maturation and ripening observed at harvest following AVG +/- ethephon treatments improved storability of fruit in controlled atmosphere (CA) storage”
e6“while control fruit and those treated only with ethephon entered the ethylene climacteric during storage, and flesh firmness subsequently declined during shelf-life evaluation”

- Intervention effect AVG application delayed the onset of the ethylene climacteric in apples relative to control.
- Intervention effect AVG application delayed red colour development in apples relative to control.
- Intervention effect AVG followed by ethephon delayed the onset of the ethylene climacteric in apples, similarly to AVG alone.
- Intervention effect AVG followed by ethephon left red colour at the commercial harvest date only marginally reduced or not affected.
- Intervention effect AVG with or without ethephon gave low internal ethylene levels after controlled atmosphere storage.
- Intervention effect AVG with or without ethephon gave high retention of flesh firmness and shelf-life after storage.
- Observation Control fruit and fruit treated only with ethephon entered the ethylene climacteric during storage.
- Observation Flesh firmness of apples declined during shelf-life evaluation in control and ethephon-only fruit.
