Impact of anatomical and morphological processes on the storage life of fruits and vegetables

The purpose of the article is to establish the infl uence of anatomical and morphological processes on the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. It has been established that when storing fruits and vegetables, growth processes occur during the germination of vegetative vegetables and seeds of fruits and fruit vegetables. During the entire storage period, modifi cations of the external protective tissues, as well as wound reactions for the healing of mechanical damage, mainly in the post-harvest period, are observed. The impact of these processes on the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables has been revealed.
