About 260 letters were sent to institutions and individuals worldwide, in an attempt to obtain publications and information concerning topics of transpiration, respiration, and storage behavior of fruits and vegetables.
Three major computer searches were undertaken. Many useful citations were obtained.
A manual search of the Horticultural Abstracts was done in order to obtain references and information dated prior to computerized data banks.
About 500 papers were obtained. These were screened and classified according to the usefulness of the material. They were reviewed to determine the transpiration rates of several fruits and vegetables, to use the discussion and results of the factors affecting transpiration, and to find and evaluate good experimental methods that could be recommended for future research in the area. The results are presented in the report.
