Respiration of apple and avocado fruits.

The physiology and biochemistry of fruit respiration are examined with respect to fruit quality and prolonging postharvest storage and shelf life. Comparisons are made between a strongly respiring fruit, avocado, and a weakly respiring fruit, apple. The respiration of these fruits is related to the structure and function of their mitochondria, the operation of the cyanide-insensitive pathway, accumulation of CO2 in the intercellular space, CO2 diffusion within the pulp and CO2 (re-)fixation via phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase.
