SCALD-COLD: joint Austrian-Italian consortium in Euregio project for comprehensive dissection of the superficial scald in apple
After harvest, apples are stored at low temperature to slow down the ripening physiological processes. This strategy can,
however, also promote the development of superficial scald, a chilling injury-related disorder showing brown-discoloured
areas on the fruit skin, totally compromising its marketability. To examine thoroughly the underlying physiological mechanisms
and genetic control of superficial scald, the āScald-Coldā project, a three-year Interegional Project Network, was
granted by the European Region Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino (EGTC). The project is centred on a comprehensive
approach, integrating into a joint effort different scientific disciplines, ranging from genetics and transcriptomics to NIR
spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, together with the employment of distinct postharvest storage technologies distinguished
by a specific regime of low oxygen. The core of this project aims to disclose novel regulatory processes of this
disorder, providing new series of tools important for both the scientific and technical communities interested in apple
breeding and postharvest. The āScald-Coldā project will identify new molecular markers suitable for the selection of new
apple varieties genetically resistant to superficial scald, while developing tools for an early detection of this phenomeno
