Transportability of Lettuce
Lactuca sativa L.
A complex of plant characteristics that determine its ability to maintain marketability, the integrity of the rosette or head, and a low rate of weight loss during transport.
In the reference 18 varieties crop Lettuce, where this is mentioned in the description.
The transportability of lettuce is assessed through a combination of traits, including visual preservation after simulated transport, moisture loss rates, and shelf life duration. Key morphological factors include head density and overall rosette compactness, which influence resistance to mechanical damage and physiological disorders such as tipburn or pink rib.
Lettuce varieties with high transportability are characterized by resistance to leaf margin burn and a low respiration rate, which prevents rapid wilting. In contrast, loose-leaf types with delicate structures have low transportability due to rapid loss of turgor and high sensitivity to bruising, necessitating the use of specialized post-harvest handling methods, including vacuum cooling and the maintenance of a strict temperature regime.
