The transverse distribution of calcium across median slices of Cox's Orange Pippin apples affected by watercore was compared with that in slices from the remaining bulked sound fruit in samples at harvest. Concentrations of calcium were lower in all zones of apples with watercore. In affected apples, proportions of calcium were higher in the outer zones and much lower in the core zones.
