- Intervention effect A single spray of 10 mmol L(-1) methyl jasmonate at 169 DAFB gave the highest increase in red blush and export-grade fruit in apple.
- Intervention effect A single spray of 10 mmol L(-1) methyl jasmonate at 169 DAFB gave the highest increase in phloridzin, flavanols and flavonols in apple fruit skin.
- Intervention effect The 169 DAFB methyl jasmonate spray did not affect apple fruit quality.
- Intervention effect A single spray of 5 mmol L(-1) methyl jasmonate at 186 DAFB was more effective than multiple sprays in apple.
