The present study was conducted to assess the suitability of blends of two sweet potato (creamand yellowflesh) varieties and maize flours in the preparation of crunchy snacks. Each of the sweet potato varieties was prepared into flour and separately blended with 0, 30 and 50% of maize flour. The blends were evaluated for proximate composition, mineral content, vitamin content, anti-nutrient fac...

Abstract Pepper is an essential vegetable commodity in Indonesia. yellow leaf curl disease caused by the infection Begomoviruses tremendous damage to pepper production country. The breeding process through crosses necessary produce Begomovirus resistance material overcome constraint. In this present study, we estimated genetic parameters of hybridized F2 under natural infected conditions. Two C...

Using an F1 population from a cross between Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) cultivars 'Akiakari' and 'Taihaku', we performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of seven fruit traits (harvest time, fruit skin color, flesh firmness, fruit weight, acid content, total soluble solids content, and preharvest fruit drop). The constructed simple sequence repeat-based genetic linkage map of '...

Activities of NAD(+)-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), sorbitol oxidase (SOX), sucrose synthase (SS), acid invertase (AI), and neutral invertase (NI) in 'Encore' peach (Prunus persica L.) fruits and developing shoot tips were assayed during the growing season to determine whether carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes could serve as indicators of sink strength. In fruit flesh, SS activity was ...

Digital image processing is an emerging tool to predict fruit quality; therefore present study was carried out to develop an image processing technique for investigating the storage life of cantaloupe. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) impregnated materials were used to prolong the postharvest life of cantaloupe fruit and the effects of these treatments were evaluated by 3 image textural features ...

Pear (Pyrus spp) is an important fruit crop, grown in all temperate regions of the world, with global production ranked after grape and apples among deciduous tree crops. A high-density linkage map is a valuable tool for fine mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) and map-based gene cloning. In this study, we firstly constructed a high-density linkage map of pear using SNPs integrated with SSRs,...

Winter pruning has been a common practice in peach. Twig topping associated with it, but this used at the same intensity, regardless of cultivar. Therefore, study aimed evaluating productive behavior and quality ‘Maciel’ peach grafted on ‘Capdeboscq’ ‘Okinawa’ (P. persica) as rootstocks, when they were submitted to different twig intensities winter pruning. The following three evaluated: short ...

The study was conducted from April 2019 to Maret 2020 in a community forest the village of Karang Kembang, Tunjungan district, Blora. objective research characterize morphology Durian Monthok directly developed morphological characters such durian Description format plants have been arranged form standard blanks. results showed that had greyed-orange flower (163C), moderate yellow (161A) skin, ...
