BACKGROUND: Postharvest storage of sweet pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum L.) at low temperatures could impair their physical and chemical composition. Therefore, maintenance of essential nutrition support or altered gas exchange could preserve fruit quality, minimizing chilling injury. Thus our aim w

β¦ Synopsis
One-hundred and five cultivars representing s species of Cupsicum were screened at constant 13, 16, 18Β°C and greenhouse temperatures. Daily observation on emergence were made for 60 days following seeding in flats.
Using a calculated emergence index as the criterion for emergence at low temperatures, the various cultivars were classified by species. Within the C. annum group significant differences were found between cultivars for the lowest and highest index suggesting heritability of this trait. The lowest indexes for all temperatures was a cultivar from the C. baccatum v. pendulum group.

A study of the temperature relationships of 20 mycelial and yeast fungi which had been isolated at low temperatures from soils and from abattoirs indicated that few fungi can be regarded as truly psychrophilic. Only 1 species failed to grow at 25C. Although all the species investigated were able to
