Ethylene evolution (a, b), hue angle (c, d), chroma (e, f), and percent blush. Changes were recorded during 8 months of controlled atmosphere storage of ‘d’Anjou’ pears harvested from different tree positions. Additional fruit were ripened at 23 °C for 7 days following each sampling from storage (b, d, f, h) Significance was tested using proc. GLM in SAS, type III sums of squares. Means were compared using a post-hoc Bonferroni test. Means followed by the same letter are not different at p < 0.05. Significance of overall change during storage is indicated by asterisks (NS, not significant; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001) on the right side of the legend labels. Letters indicate significant differences among storage durations (months) for fruit harvested from the external (uppercase) or internal (lowercase) canopy. At the top of each sampling date asterisks indicate significance of difference between external and internal canopy for each storage duration (NS, not significant; *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01; ***, p < 0.001)
