introduction: machine vision, which uses image processing techniques, is a branch of artificial intelligence that simulates human vision. these systems can be used for quality control, sorting and grading of agricultural products. unlike engineering materials, agricultural fruits are living tissues that continue living even after they are harvested from trees or bushes. therefore, the post-harv...

Fruit ripening is a physiological and biochemical process genetically programmed to regulate fruit quality parameters like firmness, flavor, odor and color, as well as production of ethylene in climacteric fruit. In this study, a transcriptomic analysis of mango (Mangifera indica L.) mesocarp cv. "Kent" was done to identify key genes associated with fruit ripening. Using the Illumina sequencing...

Papaya California (Carica papaya L) is one of the agricultural commodities in tropics and has a very big opportunity to develop Indonesia as an agribusiness venture with quite promising prospects. So quality fruit determined by level maturity fruit, hardness its appearance. undergoes marked change color during ripening process, which indicates chemical changes fruit. The from green yellow due l...

barhee is one of the most important date cultivar worldwide that its production in iran is done mainly in khuzestan province. this cultivar has many consumers at its three last developmental stages especially rutab stage. in rutab stage, the fruit texture is very soft and due to high water and sugar content is a good target for microorganisms and so it has a short storage life. using new disinf...

the work described here is unique since the low seeded (0-6 seeds per fruit) kinnow (citrus reticulata) germplasm was grown in dense plantation (p p: 1foot and l l: 2 feet) in the niab (nuclear institute for agriculture and biology, faisalabad, pakistan) field. growth and development patterns of the fruits were studied. the low seeded germ-plasm contains 3,500 plants developed through natural a...

Japanese plum (Prunus salicina L.) is a fruit tree of the Rosaceae family, which is an economically important stone fruit around the world. Currently, Japanese plum breeding programs combine traditional breeding and plant physiology strategies with genetic and genomic analysis. In order to understand the flavonoid pathway regulation and to develop molecular markers associated to the fuit skin c...

Fruit-eating birds are the primary seed dispersers for many plant species in various habitats (Ridley 1930; van der PijI1969). Because seed dispersal is important for plants (Howe and Smallwood 1982), the criteria that birds use in choosing fruits should directly affect the reproductive success of plants that depend on avian seed dispersal. Any fruit trait that enhances the likelihood that an a...

The increase in the amount of mango fruit production is due to their high nutritional content affordable, and relatively easy find. However, like other horticultural crops, Mango can be easily bruised or damaged. damage caused by improper post-harvest handling, causing quality has a short shelf life. study aimed determine life Golek stored Zero Energy Cool Chamber (ZECC) using LDPE packaging wi...
