fore depend on temperature. The effect of temperature on the behavior
of potted plants can be twofold, with both high and low temperatures
leading to a faster reduction in acceptability (see Figures 7.4 and 7.5).
This suggests two processes, one that is particularly active at high tem-
peratures and results in, for example, excessive water loss, and one that
