The distinctive taste fruit flesh makes types mangoes favored consumers local and foreign countries. As a new variety, there not much data regarding mango, especially optimal maturity stage to harvest. This study aims determine physic...

Phloem unloading plays a pivotal role in photoassimilate partitioning and the accumulation of sugars in sink organs, e.g. fruit. Here, we investigated the pathway of sucrose unloading in kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciasa cv. Qinmei) using a combination of electron microscopy, transport of the phloem-mobile symplastic tracer carboxyfluorescein and enzyme activity and gene expression assays. Our str...

Late season peach cultivars are usually cold stored for a few weeks to extend the marketing season, but physiological disorders related to calcium deficiency are now emerging. To study the absorption of Ca by the peach fruit, adult trees of two late maturing cultivars: ‘Miraflores’ and ‘Jesca’ were treated with Ca applied in two different ways: either as foliar sprays of Ca water solutions, or ...

This study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of main macroelements in leaves and fruit grown following organic conventional practices, relate them physico-chemical parameters during commercial harvests. Three samplings were carried out maturation. Nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) determined two flesh areas: basal apical. Weight, color, firmness, solub...

background and objectives: apple is the most important horticultural crops that is allocated large share of world trade in agricultural products. principles of sustainable fruit production systems are based on optimal use of natural resources (light, water, soil fertility) where the input (labour, energy, fuel, other material) and output (yield) are well balanced and the resources remain renewa...

The color of tomato fruit is mainly determined by carotenoids and flavonoids. Phenotypic analysis of an introgression line (IL) population derived from a cross between Solanum lycopersicum 'Moneyberg' and the wild species Solanum chmielewskii revealed three ILs with a pink fruit color. These lines had a homozygous S. chmielewskii introgression on the short arm of chromosome 1, consistent with t...

in this study, the amount of total phenol, chlorogenic acid, catechin, quercetin, phloridzin, cyanidin and antioxidant activity of apple (malus domestica) skin and flesh of six iranian cultivars, including: ‘golab kohanz’, ‘sib torsh dirras’, ‘ghara yapragh’, ‘torkman’, ‘ghezel alma’ and ‘abbasi mashhad’, and four commercial cultivars including: ‘golden delicious’, ‘red delicious’, ‘braeburn’ a...

The fruit of Schisandra chinensis Turcz. (Baill.), namely "Wuweizi" in China, is a well-known herbal medicine and health food. At present, research focused on the extraction of effective chemical component and function identification. Little known about the secondary metabolism gene pathway of chemical composition. Its fruit color usually red, however, the white fruit color variation has been f...
