Although many physiological disorders have been studied and described in the literature, a larger number of disorders still remain poorly understood and very little information is available about the regulating mechanisms as well as possible approaches to predict and control the incidence of physiological disorders. In addition, low precision in the description and identification of disorder symptoms can cause confusion because the same disorder can be described differently, or may not be the same disorder recognized by others. Misidentification of physiological disorders can lead to confusion in determining the mechanisms regulating their development in plants, emphasizing the importance of the precise characterization and identification of disorders.  aPostharvest diseases  aPostharvest injuries  aPostharvest physiology  aPostharvest systems  aPostharvest technology  aDistúrbio Fisiológico  aFisiologia  aPerda Pós-Colheita  aPós-Colheita  aDesenvolvendo abordagens  aFuturo da pesquisa1 aPAREEK, S.  tIn: FREITAS, S.
