A study was designed to determine whether temperature alone or temperature and relative humidity (RH) interactions affect the development of pillowy fruit disorder (PFD) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Fruit of 'Calypso', 'Flurry', 'Carolina'? and inbred breeding line 39 were matured in four environments: cyclic and high (22 to 45C) and moderate (22 to 30C) temperatures at two RHs (35% and 75% ). PFD symptoms were most severe at high temperature and RH; thus, both contribute to the development of this disorder. Line 39 had the highest PFD ratings, regardless of growing environment, a result indicating that cultigens respond differently to these imposed stresses. Pillowy fruit disorder (PFD) is a Ca-re- lated anomaly that appears as styrofoam-like, white, porous-textured areas in the mesocarp of freshly harvested processing cucumbers (Staub et al., 1988). Following fresh-pack processing, "pillowed" tissue assumes a wa- ter-soaked, tan to grayish-brown color that reduces quality (Thomas and Staub, 1992). Pillowed tissue of processed fruit is signifi- cantly softer (33% to 39%) than nonpillowed tissue. PFD incidence and severity was higher in fruit from plants subjected to high relative humidity (RH) or soil-moisture deficits (Staub et al., 1988; Thomas and Staub, 1992). Since higher PFD incidence also was observed in fruit harvested from non-water-stressed, field- grown plants under high temperatures (Tho- mas and Staub, 1992), a study was designed to determine whether temperature alone or tem- perature and RH interactions affect PFD de- velopment. Cultigens that are particularly susceptible to environmental stress and differ in Ca uptake
