Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Find peel apple peel chemicals that link scald to cultivar, harvest maturity, and other factors. 2. Identify additional apple peel chemicals that are important to fruit quality, ripening, and scald. 3. Identify apple peel chemicals or genes useful as early scald prediction or breeding selection tools.
