To achieve a good intrinsic visible fruit quality, biotic and abiotic stress to the trees has to be controlled. Therefore, conventional fruit orchards are often fitted with relatively expensive installations such as wind break hedges, hail nets, irrigation systems and wind machines for frost prevention, irrigation and liquid fertilisation facilities and wild animal fences. Apart from liquid fertilisation systems, most of these installations can also be installed in organic orchards and help to assure yield and quality security. 

Effect on content of polyphenolic compounds Complete protection from stress, however, appears to reduce plant synthesis of polyphenolic compounds, which are known to be produced as part of the plant s inducible resistance response to fungal and pest attack, but are also produced in response to certain abiotic stress factors such as mechanical injury (Feucht and Treutter, 1999). 

Plants have the innate capacity, gained over eons of evolution, to actively respond to biotic and abiotic stresses in their environment. Many of the stresses that occur naturally are frequently mimicked by the operations that constitute the cultivation, harvesting, marketing, and consumption of fruits and vegetables. Metabolic responses induced by stress and that are adaptive in nature can result in reduced product quality.

The abiotic stress affecting microbial activity and growth in an interfacial microenvironment include factors such as light, moisture, temperature, pH, soil/sediment grain size, carbon/nitrogen content, and redox potential [40-43, 46,47,49-51,56-58]. 

In plants, DREB/ERF and AP2/ERF subfamily of ethylene-responsive element (GCC box)-binding transcription factors function in the regulation of abiotic stress responses and regulate disease resistance. AP2/ERF members are downstream components of both ethylene and JA signaling pathways, and are key to the... 

Ethylene is involved in most of the plant defensive responses against abiotic stresses. Its action can vary depending on the kind of stress. Some examples of ethylene involvement in response to abiotic stress are presented below.
