“…The growth of the plant has been studied by BUCHNER (3), WICHERS and TOLLENS (13), and WORKING (14). The composition of the stalk has been studied by BISSON, JONES, and ROBBINS (2), CULPEPPER and MOON (5), NIGHTINGALE and SCHERMERHORN (10), and MORSE (8,9). The purposes of these several investigations differed widely.…”

Changes in mRNA activity in tips of harvested asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L.) held in light or dark for up to 48 h at 20'C were investigated as an initial step in elucidating the genetic response of asparagus spears to harvest. Total RNA was isolated from 30-mm tips of spears 180 mm in length at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after spear harvest and translated in vitro, and translation products were separated using both sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. We detected 25 consistent changes in translatable mRNAs, involving both increase and decrease in mRNA abundance. The majority of the changes occurred within 12 h of harvest. Most of the changes were not light regulated. cDNA libraries were constructed from polyadenylated mRNA extracted from tips of spears at harvest (0 h) and after 12 h in the dark at 20"C. Differential hybridization screening of the cDNA libraries isolated nine cDNA clones whose corresponding transcripts had altered expression after harvest. Investigations of mRNA activity during spear development demonstrated that the changes detected were harvest related. Possible roles for the mRNAs corresponding to the isolated clones in tips of harvested spears are discussed. Molecular studies, especially those concerning fruit ripening (3, 26) and flower senescence (16,31)

“…Certainly extension growth, a process closely related to metabolic activity of the attached spear, was the most closely related variable to tip rot . Extension is not uniform amongst spears of different height: height increases at a greater rate as spears grow taller (Culpepper & Moon 1939).…”

Spear height at harvest influences postharvest quality of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis)

Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) spears harvested at intervals during a 24-h cycle exhibited a clear diurnal pattern in postharvest shelf-life, with spears harvested at 0200 h lasting 1.1 days longer at 20°C than spears harvested at 1400 h. Susceptibility to tip rot did not appear to fluctuate with harvest time during the day, but was clearly influenced by time of season. Early season harvests were less susceptible to tip rot, and short spears (50 mm) were less susceptible than tall spears (250 mm). Tall spears had lower levels of soluble carbohydrate, and much greater proportions of axillary bud tissue than short spears. First signs of tissue damage during tip rot development were observed in floral buds with collapse of the generative tissue. As damage increased, bracts, then vegetative buds, and the main stem axis were affected. Microbial growth developed on the surface of damaged tissue. Starch grains present in the stem axis or pith tissue disappeared within a day of harvest, but starch localised in a distinct band eight cells in from the cuticle remained until Day 5 after harvest. The postharvest management of longer grades of asparagus spears will be more difficult than shorter grades, and spears harvested in cool conditions will be higher quality than spears harvested in warm conditions.
