Abstract
Furthermore, the development of morphological and physico-chemical fruit traits was characterized revealing significant correlations to carotenoid accumulation. A ripening index derived from several parameters was developed to easily allow exact assignment of ripening stages in studies of carotenoid development during fruit ontogenesis. Additionally, on-tree ripened versus postharvest ripened fruits were compared revealing striking similarity of their physico-chemical parameters and contents of individual carotenoids.
