Thin skinned, soft fruits and vegetables, like tomatoes, peaches, plums, etc. are most susceptible, followed by water rich greens like lettuce and asparagus. Some other fruits, like avocados will take much longer to ripen and will more likely develop strings if stored in the fridge. Also, it's not a good idea to store apples in a closed space with other fruits or vegetables as apples give off ethylene gas which speeds up the ripen and rotting of other produce, so store apples outside of the fridge to save everything else.
