A DIAGNOSTIC TOOLBOX FOR INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF POSTHARVEST APPLE NECROTIC DISORDERS

Objective

1. Discover and validate diagnostic biomarkers that predict, diagnose, and/or distinguish apple postharvest physiological disorders. 2. Compile sets of biomarkers that could be used to predict, diagnose, or distinguish apple postharvest browning disorders and test their efficacy by classifying/reclassifying browning disorders based on new metabolic/genetic information. 3. Transfer of new biomarker-based technology for immediate implementation adapting existing laboratory-based and field-based analytical platforms.
