Abstract

The bioelectric potential on plant surface (surface potential) of harvested tomato and banana fruits was measured. Effects of room temperature and respiration rate on the surface potential were investigated. The surface potential clearly changed with temperature. The change in surface potential with temperature depended on respiration-dependent electrogenic potential. It is very likely that the change in respiration at the climacteric stage is able to be distinguished from the change with temperature by detecting the surface potential.
