Water distribution and ionic balance in response to high CO 2 treatments in strawberries (Fragaria vesca L. cv. Mara de Bois)
Highlights: ► CO2 treatments controlled weight loss and retained cell structure in strawberries compared with air. ► 20% CO2 increased cell water retention, but 40% resulted in intercellular spaces filled with aqueous solution. ► 20% CO2 maintained K+/Na+ ratios similar to those in freshly harvested fruit. ► 40% CO2 modified the K+/Na+ balance and water status and increased free soluble Ca2+. ► 20% CO2 resulted in accumulation of total sugars and proline, and there were differences in accumulation of malic and succinic acids between 20 and 40% CO2-treated strawberries.
