      abstract = {Miniature golden apple fruit (Spondias cytherea) were  harvested at three stages of maturity (immature,  mature-green and breaker stages) and stored at 9°C, 21°C  and 31°C for up to 14 days. Throughout storage, fruit were  evaluated for carbon dioxide (C02) and ethylene (C2H4)  production rates. For fruit at all three maturity stages  stored at 9°C, respiration rates remained very low  throughout storage increasing rapidly beyond 12 days at  which time both senescence and chilling injury symptoms  were well established. For fruit stored at 21°C and 31°C,  respiration rates increased over time with senescence  occurring in immature fruit and ripening occurring in  mature-green and turning fruit. Ethylene was only detected  at 21°C and 31°C and increased over time in fruit at all  maturity stages. The respiratory pattern of the miniature  golden apple was typical of a climacteric fruit. In  immature fruit the rise in the rate of ethylene production  occurred beyond 4 days and coincided with the climacteric  rise of respiration and external evidence of senescence. In  mature-green and turning fruit the rise in the rate of  ethylene production occurred beyond days 5 and 4  respectively and also coincided with increased respiration  rates.},
