Light and carbon availability follows a diurnal cycle creating different signaling inputs

Under sustained low-temperature stress, tissue acclimation fails, leading to exhaustion and the onset of severe PCI. Preharvest factors, including genotype, environmental variables, and agronomic practices, all interact to influence PCI severity. PCI is more severe in tissues harvested before reaching horticultural maturity , as the developmental pathways are incomplete and will be largely disrupted by …
