Changes in Fruit Physicochemical Characteristics by Fruit Clusters in June-bearing Strawberry Cultivars

Physicochemical changes of leaf in different position and fruit in four edible fig cultivars

Fig is one of the first plants cultivated by humans that has global expansion. This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical changes in different position of leaf (2 year cutting, Leaf next to immature syconium, Leaf next to ripe fruit, Leaf next to overripe fruit, Leaf next to fallen fruit) and fruit in four edible cultivars (Matti, Shah-Anjir, Sabz, Siah) as factorial experiment...

Comparative analysis of polygalacturonase in the fruit of strawberry cultivars.

The role of polygalacturonase (PG) in the development, ripening, and softening of fruit from two strawberry cultivars with different flesh firmness and softening characteristics was compared. Changes in PG activity and gene expression during development, ripening and softening were measured. The PG genes from each cultivar were cloned and analyzed, and were classified with other PG genes using ...

Resveratrol content in strawberry fruit is affected by preharvest conditions.

This study investigated the occurrence of resveratrol in Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne and the effect of preharvest conditions on resveratrol content. Both cis- and trans-resveratrol were detected in strawberry achenes (seeds) and pulp (receptacle tissue). Resveratrol was found to be higher in achenes than in fruit pulp. The levels of resveratrol were affected by genotype variations, fruit matur...

Physicochemical changes in olive oil (cv. Koroneiki) due to fruit ripening and extraction method.

This study was conducted to find the effects of fruit ripening and extraction method on the quantity and quality of the Koroneiki olive oil. The oil samples extracted in six ripening stages were used for further quality analysis. Quality assessment of the oil was conducted according to the standard methods and the composition of fatty acids was measured by gas chromatography. The results showed...
