Summary: To improve our fundamental understanding of scald disorder, the objectives of this study were: 1) Using proteomic tools, characterize proteins associated with scald development in scald susceptible apple cultivars. 2) Map protein changes associated with factors that impart scald resistance including ripeness and treatment with DPA or 1-MCP. 3) Identify proteins that are responsible for scald development and resistance and propose metabolic pathways involved.
