e0“to determine if red color development could be enhanced without over-ripening `Gala' and `Jonagold' apples”
e3“Application of AVG followed by ethephon similarly delayed the onset of the ethylene climacteric, but red color development at the commercial harvest date was only marginally reduced or not affected”

- 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 with or without ethephon improved apple storability in controlled atmosphere storage relative to control fruit.
- 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.
