Electrolyte leakage and efficiency of photosystem II from banana fruit peels. Electrolyte leakage (A) and efficiency of photosystem II (B) from banana fruit peels during 10 days after being harvested from fruits of the three different treatments: control fruits from plants treated with distilled water during the preharvest stage and kept at 23°C (circles), fruits from plants treated with distilled water during the preharvest stage but exposed to 10°C for 6 h and then kept at 23°C (inverted triangles), and fruits from plants treated during the preharvest stage with 100 mM GB and exposed to 10°C for 6 h and then kept at 23°C (squares). Each point is the mean and SD of at least five fruits. Points with different letters at the last date of observation are statistically different.
