Abstract
Abstract Weight and flesh firmness of peach fruit [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch ‘Junegold’] were measured at harvest from phony-infected and noninfected trees. Regression equations showed that fruit from phony-infected trees had an average increase in weight of 0.95 g to 1.03 g per newton decrease in flesh firmness at harvest, significantly less than the 1.69 g to 2.90 g increase per newton decrease for normal trees (P = 0.05). Internal moisture stress caused by xylem blockage in phony-infected trees may explain the changed flrmness/weight relationship during final swell.
