Ethephon As a Potential Abscission Agent for Table Grapes: Effects on Pre-Harvest Abscission, Fruit Quality, and Residue
Some plant growth regulators, including ethephon, can stimulate abscission of mature grape berries. The stimulation of grape berry abscission reduces fruit detachment force (FDF) and promotes the development of a dry stem scar, both of which could facilitate the production of high quality stemless fresh-cut table grapes. The objective of this research was to determine how two potential abscissi...
متن کاملFruit and Vegetable Flavor
Introduction: The quality of fresh produce has traditionally been based on external characteristics of size, color, and absence of surface defects. Fruit and vegetable breeders selected for color, size, disease resistance, yield and other easily quantified horticultural traits. Because flavor and texture characteristics were not a part of the selection process, improvements in these quality att...

متن کاملPotential risks resulting from fruit/vegetable-drug interactions: effects on drug-metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters.
It has been well established that complex mixtures of phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables can be beneficial for human health. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly apparent that phytochemicals can influence the pharmacological activity of drugs by modifying their absorption characteristics through interactions with drug transporters as well as drug-metabolizing enzyme systems. Such effects ...
متن کاملAssessment of hepatotoxic potential.
Philosophic concepts and pragmatic approaches toward improved understanding of the effect of drugs in the hepatocyte are reviewed. No set pattern of studies is advocated but rather observations are encouraged within the framework of studies that provide for varied exposure of the hepatocyte. Clinical usage should be imitated to provide earliest possible indications of toxicity in man. The need ...
