Chilling injury of tropical plant UV radiation UV-B UV-C Browning of tropical fruit

Browning of rambutan caused by water loss from transpiration process via xylems that distribute in the hair or spintern. High density of stomata was observed on the spintern of rambutan. This is a channel of water loss from the fruit.
