Apples are rich in phenolic compounds called polyphenols. Cutting an apple allows polyphenol oxidase enzymes to rapidly oxidize, turning the apple brown.
Primary apple scab infection surfaces as patches of brownish-green that deepen to brown or black as they grow. The spots develop dried, cracked surfaces similar to scabs. The tree's leaves may fall prematurely if the infection spreads to their petioles, the stalks connecting them to their stems. Apple scab also infects all stages of fruit, but does much less damage to mature apples.
