An Overview of Climatic Effects on Citrus Flowering and Fruit Quality in Various Parts of the World
نویسنده
چکیده
Citrus is produced commercially in over 30 countries worldwide. The major growing regions are located primarily between 40° north-south latitude where minimum temperature is generally greater than 20°F. Within these latitudes there are several important climatic areas that affect the growth and development, yields, and fruit quality of citrus. These include the low, middle, and high tropical regions and the arid, semi-arid and humid subtropical areas. The objective of this review is to discuss the effects of climate on flowering and fruit quality of citrus trees. The climatic characteristics of each region will be discussed followed by a general review of the specific effects of climate on flowering and fruiting. More detailed examples of climatic effects on the physiology of flowering and fruiting will be given in subsequent papers.

Olive is one of the most ancient fruit trees and has been cultivated for its oil for thousands of years. A mature olive tree produces about 500,000 flowers. They are borne on inflorescences termed panicles. The number of flowers and their distribution on the inflorescence are specific for each cultivar but can change from year to year. The flower position on the inflorescence affects its gender...

متن کاملEffect of Pre-Harvest Calcium Chloride Spraying on Maintaining Fruit Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity of Three Citrus Cultivars during Storage
Bioactive components play an important role in human health. In general, bioactive compounds of fruits decline during storage. Therefore, maintaining fruits bioactive compounds during storage is very important. In this study, effects of pre-harvest CaCl2 sprays (0, 1, 2, and 4%) at different fruit development stages (120, 140, and 160 days after full bloom) on maintaining fruit quality of thre...
