Respiration rate, turgor pressure, osmotic pressure and suction pressure were checked periodically after harvest with bananas, pears, apples, tomatoes and cucumbers. There were great differences among species in the courses of osmotic and suction pressure changes, but those of the resulting turgor pressure appeared to be bascially similar. Moreover, there was a relatively close relation between respiration rate and turgor pressure.
