Capillary Water in Pericarp Enhances Hypoxic Condition during On-Tree Fruit Maturation That Induces Lignification and Triggers Translucent Flesh Disorder in Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.)

Table 2

The influence of applied water at fruit surface of on-tree mature green mangosteen fruit on lignin induction and triggering translucent flesh disorder. The values were mean ± SE (). Different letters in each column showed dissimilarity from Tukey’s (HSD) test ().
