Abstract

Abstract Chilling injury affects a wide range of horticultural crops when they are subjected to low-temperature stress and it also increases marketing losses and the cost of produce. The phenomenon was thought to be restricted to crops of tropical origin because, initially, the injuries were noted only with these crops when grown in the temperate zone. However, crops of temperate origin also have been found to develop physiological disorders when subjected to low-temperature stress. Questions now remain as to the etiology and the basic mechanism that underlie the injuries noticed on crops of tropical and of temperate origins.
