The color of the skin of an apple is not a clue as to its keeping quality. Keeping quality seems to be dependent upon when they mature. How soon an apple will rot will depend on its variety, when it was harvested and how it has been handled and stored. Although all apples do best refrigerated, some varieties require it more than others.

∙ 14y agoMost fruits produce ethylene gas as they ripen. Keeping certain fruits/vegetables near those that generate a lot of ethylene gas can cause them to ripen faster and then spoil.(Remember what Woody Allen said: "First you ripen; then you rot."). Foods that produce a lot of ethylene gas include apples, apricots, avocados, ripening bananas (but keep your unripe bananas away from apples, etc. and they won't ripen too fast), blueberries, canteloupe, citrus fruit (except grapefruit), cranberries, figs, guavas, grapes, green onions, honeydew, ripe kiwi, mangoes, melons, mushrooms, nectarines, Okra papaya, pashion fruit, peaches, peppers, persimmons, pineapple, plantain, plums, Prunes, quinces, and tomatoes.
Putting unripe fruit in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple will cause the green fruit to ripen faster because the ethylene gas is trapped in the bag with the fruit.
Many fruits and vegetables are damaged by exposure to ethylene gas. So it pays to pay attention to how and where you store fruits and vegetables. When plants that produce ethylene gas are exposed to ethylene, they react by producing more ethylene. See this site for more information: http://www.agraco.com/pdflinks/AllAboutEthylene.pdf

What is the difference between Brown rot and White rot fungi Give examples as well?
Macroscopically the white rot will appear as white spots on the wood, indicating that it has eaten up all the lignin and left the white cellulose behind. It does eat away the cellulose and hemicellulose too, but the lignin is delicious to them. It will appear fibrous, stringy, and spongy with the white pockets present. Brown rot is the opposite and it eats the cellulose first and doesn't do much to the lignin. it is brown in colour, and the fibrous texture is lost quickly. There is a much greater diversity of white rot, but brown rot can reduce the weight of a tree much faster than white rot. Microscopically, the fungi's hyphae secretes enzymes which attack the S2 and S3 layers of the wood and move into the tracheids. It will destroy all layers from the lumen out to the middle lamella. for Brown rot, there is extensive degradation of cellulose...the S2 layers degrade fast, but the S3 layer is more resistant. The fungi (examples to come) eat all the carbs (cellulose& hemicellulose). examples of brown rot include Gelophyllum sepiarium and Oligoporus placenus. examples of white rot include Trametes versicolor and Phellinus pini

Will a tomato rot faster in warm water or cold water?
The tomato would rot faster in warm water because, when you put a tomato in cold temperature ex: refrigerator the tomato does not rot and it stays good for a long period of time, now if you put the tomato in warm temperature or room temperature for instance, the tomato has more chance of rotting than in cold temperature so the tomato rots faster in warm water.

Does a green apple rot faster than a red apple?
I actually did an expirament on this topic. Red apples rot faster then green apples. This is due to the acidity in the green apple that keeps the green apple fresher. If you cut a green apple and a red apple in half, you will find that the red apple will start to brown slightly before the green apple.
