Abstract
Most, if not all, horticultural fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals of tropical origin are subject to physiological injury when subjected to temperatures below about 12.5°C but above their freezing temperature. This damage does not involve freezing and is commonly termed chilling injury. Chilling-sensitive plants, and plant parts, are subject to injury at all stages of their development, except in the dry-seed stage.Keywords
