Abstract

‘AC Harrow Crisp’ pears could be stored at 0 °C without or with a controlled atmosphere (18 or 2.5 kPa O₂, 2 kPa CO₂) for 111 d with little effect on overall quality. 1-Methylcyclopropene-treated fruit could be stored for longer periods under refrigerated air but not under a controlled atmosphere.
