Effects of high CO2 treatment on green-ripening and peel senescence in banana and plantain fruits
Published 2015-05-01Get full textBanana fruit (Musa, AAA group, cv. Brazil) peel fails to fully degreen but the pulp ripens normally at temperatures above 24°C. This abnormal ripening, known as green-ripening, does not occur in plantains (Musa, ABB group, cv. Dajiao). Based on the fact that un-completely yellowing was also observed...
