Natural flowering in pineapple is precocious, lacks synchronization reproductive phenology and consequently leads to significant losses due fruits being harvested out of schedule. Several factors influencing the flower initiation have been identified, including cultivar, plant size, temperature, nutrients, water stress. To increase synchronization, can be artificially induced by hormones such a...

Flowering is a crucial developmental stage in the plant life cycle. A number of different factors, from environmental to chemical, can trigger flowering. In pineapple, and other bromeliads, it has been proposed that flowering is triggered by a small burst of ethylene production in the meristem in response to environmental cues. A 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACC synthase) gene h...

By application of aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) to an aroma distillate prepared from fresh pineapple using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE), 29 odor-active compounds were detected in the flavor dilution (FD) factor range of 2 to 4,096. Quantitative measurements performed by stable isotope dilution assays (SIDA) and a calculation of odor activity values (OAVs) of 12 selected o...

Physiological breakdown of the fruits of the pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] is characterized by a darkening of the flesh of the fruitlets, beginning near their attachment to the core in a region an inch or two above the base of the fruit. The-disorder progresses upward and outward, subsequently involving all of the fruitlet except the ovary and a layer approximately one quarter inch deep...

The polysaccharides of cell walls isolated from the fleshy, edible part of the fruit of the monocotyledon pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.] (family Bromeliaceae) were analyzed chemically. These cell walls were derived mostly from parenchyma cells and were shown histochemically to be unlignified, but they contained ester-linked ferulic acid. The analyses indicated that the noncellulosic poly...

BACKGROUND Simple Sequence Repeats or microsatellites are resourceful molecular genetic markers. There are only few reports of SSR identification and development in pineapple. Complete genome sequence of pineapple available in the public domain can be used to develop numerous novel SSRs. Therefore, an attempt was made to identify SSRs from genomic, chloroplast, mitochondrial and EST sequences o...
