Preharvest Factors Influencing Postharvest Quality of Tropical and Subtropical Fruit
Climate/environment Rootstock/scion Planting design Pruning practices Pest management Irrigation Plant growth regulators Plant nutrition The goal for postharvest physiologists, whether they are working in basic or applied research, is to maximize the postharvest quality of horticultural commodities. Quality relates to several factors that can be commodity specific and mean different things to d...
متن کاملAntioxidants in ‘Hass’ avocado
The potential involvement of C7 sugars as antioxidants in various avocado tissues was tested. Total antioxidant activity was found to be similar in leaf, exocarp and seed tissue; however, the concentration of total antioxidants in mesocarp tissue was lower than in other tissues at all three sampling dates. The various tissues examined had different predominant antioxidant systems; while leaf ti...
متن کاملMagnesium Deficiency of the Hass Avocado Tree
The avocado grower is usually familiar with deficiency symptoms such as those caused by lack of sufficient iron (3), zinc (11), and nitrogen (4). Also excesses of certain elements produce characteristic symptoms which may be readily identified, e. g. chloride and sodium (2, 9). However, little information is available concerning the remaining elements absorbed by the tree, their symptoms along ...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Analysis of Avocado Hass (Persea americana Mill) in the Interaction System Fruit-Chitosan-Colletotrichum
Avocado (Persea americana) is one of the most important crops in Mexico as it is the main producer, consumer, and exporter of avocado fruit in the world. However, successful avocado commercialization is often reduced by large postharvest losses due to Colletotrichum sp., the causal agent of anthracnose. Chitosan is known to have a direct antifungal effect and acts also as an elicitor capable of...
متن کاملPreharvest factors affecting physiological disorders of fruit
Development of disorders during postharvest ripening and storage of fruit depends on a range of preharvest factors. The most obvious of these is maturity of fruit at harvest. However, a number of other factors may be just as important in ripening-related disorders and in determining how fruit respond to low temperatures or other imposed postharvest conditions. Fruiting position on the tree and ...
