Rootstock effects on postharvest physiological and pathological behaviour of Avana mandarin.

ABSTRACT

Quality parameters were investigated in fruits from trees grown on 5 rootstocks (sour orange, citremon 1449, Poncirus trifoliata, Arlodo tangelo and Troyer citrange) over 3 seasons (1990-92). The fruits were stored at 2 or 8 deg C for one month. At harvest, rootstock significantly affected fruit quality in terms of pH, total acidity and ascorbic acid content, but not TSS. There was no seasonal variation for ascorbic acid content and pH. Storage behaviour was more affected by rootstock than by storage temperature. Trees on sour orange had the highest yield and most uniform fruit size and fruits from trees on this rootstock had the lowest loss through disease during storage at both temperatures. Chilling injury was greatest in fruits on sour orange rootstock. Quality parameters were affected by rootstock at harvest and these differences remained during storage and shelf-life. A sensory panel identified marked differences in taste and texture in fruits from trees on sour orange, citrange and tangel

o rootstocks.
