Title: Some Characteristics of Internal Ring-cracking in Apples
Author: L.U. Opara
Abstract:
The problem of fruit skin cracking and splitting occurs in many apple cultivars.
Evidence
from gross morphological and anatomical examination of the internal structures of 6 apple
cultivars showed that 'Gala' and 'Fuji' apples
had internal ring-cracking (IRC) which occurred
at the fruit-stem joint.
King-cracking occurred
in fruit with splitting and in fruit without splitting.
This paper describes some of the physical
characteristics of these internal ring-cracks.
