First Report of Peach-associated luteovirus in Nectarine (Prunus persica) in Italy

Segregation of peach and nectarine (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) cultivars according to their organoleptic characteristics

Cultivar segregation according to the sensory perception of their organoleptic characteristics was attempted by using trained panel data evaluated by principal component analysis of four sources per cultivar of 23 peach and 26 nectarine cultivars as a part of our program to d a p c p o 9 a ( n t b t p ©

Phenotypic diversity among local Spanish and foreign peach and 1 nectarine [ Prunus persica ( L . ) Batsch ] accessions

Metabolomics Approach to Studying Minimally Processed Peach (Prunus persica) Fruit

Fresh-cut fruit products for both retail and food service applications have increasingly appeared in the market place in recent years. Among different fruit types, peaches can be used and are highly appreciated as fresh-cut product although their commercial success is limited due to their short shelf-life and the quick onset of wounding-related physiological reactions. In this work we analyzed ...

Quality oriented fruit breeding: Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]

Promising new tools for peach fruit quality breeding have been revised in this work. These tools included fruit quality evaluation through physical, chemical and sensorial parameters and post-harvest storage evaluation. The development of a feasible method for an early testing of peach selections generated in breeding programs is also well described together with the discussion of the inheritan...

Peach (Prunus persica) endopolygalacturonase cDNA isolation and mRNA analysis in melting and nonmelting peach cultivars.

Two distinct partial cDNAs, PRF1 and PRF3, similar in sequence to previously described polygalacturonases, were amplified from ripe peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch cv Flavorcrest) fruit cDNA by the polymerase chain reaction. PRF1-related RNA was present in fruit from early ripening at levels not detected by northern analysis. PRF3-related RNA was readily detectable in ripe fruit by northern ana...
