to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate growth regulators on growth characteristics, fruit number and fruit yield of ‘semsuri’ melon, an experiment at the field of shahid bahonar university was conducted in summer 2012. melon (cv. ‘semsuri’) is widely cultivated in iran and therefore increasing the fruit yield and quality of this cultivar is necessary. some growth regulators including me...

Radish, Raphanus sativus, is an important dietary vegetable in Asian countries, especially in China, Japan, and Korea. In this study, the variation of glucosinolate (GSL) contents among three radish cultivars, including Seo Ho, Man Tang Hong, and Hong Feng No. 1 were evaluated. While significantly different levels of 13 GSLs were observed in both the skin and flesh of these radish cultivars, th...

Table grapes commonly suffer from tissue browning during harvest, packing, storage and shelf life, resulting in lower prices and reduced access to markets. We evaluated the development of browning symptoms in ‘Princess’ table grapes. The berries had high skin browning but very low flesh browning incidences. The most skin browning was found in highly mature grapes and appeared after 3 weeks of c...

The ameliorating effects of Mango (Mangifera indica L.) flesh and peel samples on plasma ethanol level were investigated using a mouse model. Mango fruit samples remarkably decreased mouse plasma ethanol levels and increased the activities of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The (1)H-NMR-based metabolomic technique was employed to investigate the differences in metabolic pr...

A novel color rendering algorithm for printing images with flesh tone content is addressed in this paper. Instead of rendering the whole image with one Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD), two CRDs, a global CRD and a flesh tone CRD are employed to correct the image adaptively. First, the optimal CRD for flesh-tone is designed by densely sampling, in color space, the flesh tone region and selectin...

Texture is an important attribute affecting consumer perception of fruit quality. Peach melting flesh and flesh adhesion to stone (endocarp) are simply inherited and controlled by the F-M locus on linkage group (LG) 4. Here, we report that two genes encoding endopolygalacturonase (endoPG) in the F-M locus, designated PpendoPGF and PpendoPGM, are associated with the melting flesh and stone adhes...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of pre-harvest calcium applications on fruit quality and cracking in "0900 Ziraat” cherry variety. For this purpose, “Codiagro Agroplant” containing 35% CaO (Calcium oxide); by foliar spraying; It has been applied trees different such as dripping from soil leaf + spraying. In study, weight (g), width (mm), length height (suture) seed amount wa...

Colour development in fruit of Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis ‘Hort16A’, the new yellowfleshed cultivar produced commercially in New Zealand, was monitored during three seasons in four 42 New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, 2003, Vol. 31 The pericarp of ‘Hort16A’ fruit changes from a light green colour to a light yellow colour as fruit develop on the vine. Virtually no co...
