Influence of Bagging on Fruit Quality, Incidence of Peel Browning Spots, and Lignin Content of 'Huangguan' Pears.

ABSTRACT: The 'Huangguan' pear is one of the high-quality pear cultivars produced in China. However, the bagged fruit of the 'Huangguan' pear often suffers from peel browning spots after rain during their mature period. In this study, in an effort to discover the impact of bagging treatments on the occurrence of peel browning spots and fruit quality, fruits were covered by single-layer, two-layer, or triple-layer paper bags six weeks after reaching full bloom. The results showed that the bagged fruits were characterized by smooth surfaces and reduced lenticels compared with the unbagged ones. The unbagged and the two-layer bagged fruits had yellow/green peels, while the single- and triple-layer bagged ones had yellow/white peels. Compared with the unbagged fruits, the bagged fruits had higher vitami
