In this article has been studied the dependence of tree planting density, variety-rootstock combinations and water- resource-saving technologies in providing population our country with fresh fruits obtaining a constant plentiful high-quality harvest. Fruit growing is one most important unique areas agriculture. The growth, development productivity young orchards from seed depend on density see...

We tested whether compounds in ripe Solanum americanum fruits affect gut retention time of S. americanum seeds in Cedar Waxwings (Bombycilla cedrorum). Glycoalkaloids were of special interest because they commonly occur in ripe Solanum fruits and are associated with diarrhea in humans. Also, we determined the influence of gut retention time and the presence/absence of two glycoalkaloids, a-sola...

Abstract With occurrence mainly in the southwest Goiás, Butia purpurascens has fruits and leaves widely extracted by regional population. Coexists with exotic grasses, frequent burnings cattle’s grazing trampling. Young individuals are rarely seen. We aim to provide information about propagules, seedling formation monitoring of saplings B. until adults reproductive phase. Fruits were selected, ...

Using retail purchase data reported by Nielsen‘s Homescan panel this study investigates the U.S. demand for organic and conventional fresh fruits. The study fills an important research void by estimating the much needed income and price elasticities for organic and conventional fruits utilizing a censored demand approach. Household income is found to affect organic fruit consumption. Consumers ...

Sesquiterpenoid capsidiol, exhibiting antifungal activity against pathogenic fungus, is accumulated in infected ripe pepper fruits. In this study, we found a negative relation between the capsidiol level and lesion size in fruits infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, depending on the stage of ripening. To understand the developmental regulation of capsidiol biosynthesis, fungal-induced ...

Background: Lifestyle risk behaviours initiated at a young age tend to remain in adulthood. Clustering of lifestyle has negative cumulative effects on health. The aim this study was examine patterns clustering (smoking, physical inactivity, high sugars intake, low fruits and vegetables infrequent tooth brushing) among younger older Saudi male adolescents.Methods: A stratified cluster random sam...

Abstract Persimmon ( Diospyros kaki Thunb.) contains numerous uridine diphosphate glucosyltransferases (UGT), and their roles in fruit development quality formation have not been well studied because of limited genetic information. This study investigated a persimmon DkUGT3 which is highly expressed young fruits leaves during development. can catalyze ABA glycosylation to form ABA-GE, thereby r...

BACKGROUND Having a significant other has been shown to be protective against physical and psychological health conditions for adults. Less is known about the period of emerging young adulthood and associations between significant others' weight and weight-related health behaviors (e.g. healthy dietary intake, the frequency of physical activity, weight status). This study examined the associati...

Chemoprevention is an attempt to use nontoxic natural and synthetic substances or their mixtures to intervene the relatively early stages of carcinogenesis, before invasive characteristics are manifested. The consumption of fruits is well known to reduce the risk of human cancers. Although most fruits are available only on a seasonal basis, recent advances in food processing technologies have m...
