Greater sunlight exposure during early fruit development increases polyphenol concentration, soluble solid concentration, and fruit mass of cider apples

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

In Experiment 5, "Fruit Bagging", the similar total polyphenol concentrations between Bag and Control treatment ‘Ellis Bitter` juice, and greater total polyphenol concentrations of Bag than Control treatment juice in ‘Major` suggests that flavan-3-ol and procyanidin synthesis is not regulated by light exposure solely to the fruit. In ‘Major`, the greater fruit mass of Control than Bag treatments suggest that total polyphenol content on a per fruit basis were similar between treatments, and that greater fruit mass in the Control treatment led to lower total polyphenol concentrations in juice. In Experiment 2 . . .
