Variation in physiological loss in weight (panel a) berry shatter (panel b), decay incidence (panel c) and membrane electrolyte leakage (MEL, panel d) of grape cv. Flame Seedless during cold storage (3–4 °C, 90–95 % RH) in relation to different treatments of salicylic acid. Results represent pooled data of two seasons in 2012 and 2013.Vertical bars represent ± S.E. of means for 6 replicates (3 per season, n = 2 kg clusters), (0.0, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 are salicylic acid concentrations in mM)
