Puncture resistance in 'Sharwil' avocado to oriental fruit fly and Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) oviposition.
The physiological basis for host antibiosis or nonpreference to a quarantine pest is often not understood. Studies are needed on the mechanisms that impart resistance to better understand how resistance might fail. Experiments were conducted to examine the infestability of 'Sharwil' avocados by oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wi...
متن کاملSensitivity of Avocado Fruit to Ethylene
The respiration of individual 'Hass' and 'Fuerte' fruit was monitored during storage at 8oC and 10oC respectively for 14 days, under a continuous flow of humidified air containing ethylene (C2H4) at 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.25, 1.0 and 5.0 μL.L. Respiration rates of 'Fuerte' fruit under 0.01 μL.L C2H4 were significantly higher than the controls after 3.3 days of storage, but for 'Hass' fruit respiratio...
متن کاملPhysiological Gradient in Avocado Fruit
Studies on fruit maturity of avocado and related topics of subsequent storage and handling procedures have resulted in a substantial literature concerning the morphological and biochemical sequences which occur in the fruit structure. The unique high oil content of the fruit has stimulated extensive investigations into the nature of the constituents which are involved in the development of this...
متن کاملProbability of Detecting Caribbean Fruit Fly (diptera: Tephritidae) Infestations by Fruit Dissection
Quarantine inspectors search for fruit fly infestations in incoming shipments by visual inspection and by dissecting or cutting a sample of fruit in each shipment. The reliability of the latter procedure for detecting fruit fly larvae is questionable and, therefore, a test was conducted to determine its effectiveness. Infested grapefruit, mangoes, guavas, and carambolas were cut open to determi...
متن کاملChemopreventive characteristics of avocado fruit.
Phytochemicals are recognized as playing an important role in cancer prevention by fruits and vegetables. The avocado is a widely grown and consumed fruit that is high in nutrients and low in calories, sodium, and fats. Studies have shown that phytochemicals extracted from the avocado fruit selectively induce cell cycle arrest, inhibit growth, and induce apoptosis in precancerous and cancer cel...
