Abstract

The apple fruit cuticular membrane serves as a protective barrier against water loss, gas exchange, pathogens, and other stresses. As a consequence of accumulated stress and strain in the cuticle during fruit development and humid atmosphere, microscopic cracks can develop in the cuticle, weakening its protective function and leading to disruption of the fruit skin. To study the formation and potential repair mechanisms of these microcracks, a method to artificially create cracks is needed. Here, we present the results of our initial tests to induce microcracks using ultra-short pulsed laser radiation.
