Abstract In a growing context of green and circular economy, gaining knowledge the composition every crop is crucial, as this will allow for their full exploitation. Cherry ( Prunus avium L . ) widespread tree particular interest its fruits valuable timber. Its wood rich in extractives characterization to consider other applications feedstock. study, chipped cherry was extracted chemically anal...

As spring frost proves to be an increasing risk throughout Slovenia and Europe, a better assessment of is needed. The statistical approach presented in this article consists the conditional probability that last occurs before budburst or flowering. analysis was conducted using two separate phenological models data various grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), apple (Malus domestica), sweet cherry (Pru...

The Maddenia clade of Prunus L. is monographed based on herbarium and field studies. Four species are currently accepted in this group: Prunus himalayana J.Wen, Prunus hypoleuca (Koehne) J.Wen, Prunus hypoxantha (Koehne) J.Wen, and Prunus gongshanensis J.Wen, with the last described herein as a new species. Maddenia fujianensis Y.T.Chang and Maddenia incisoserrata T.T.Yü & T.C.Ku are treated as...

Sweet cherry is a highly appreciated seasonal fruit with high content of bioactive compounds; however, this perishable has relatively short shelf-life period. Here, we evaluated the evolution physicochemical and sensory qualities sweet cherries (Prunus avium (L.) cv. Satin) under different storage conditions, namely at Farmers’ Organization (FO) in Research Centre (RC) normal four conditions co...

Seasonal distributions of the western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae), in sweet cherry (Prunus avium (L.) L.) (major host), black hawthorn (occasional developmental host) (Crataegus douglasii Lindley), and other trees were determined in a ponderosa pine ecosystem in Washington state, USA. The hypothesis that most fly dispersal from cherry trees occurs afte...

The timing of flowering in perennial plants is crucial for their survival in temperate climates and is regulated by the duration of bud dormancy. Bud dormancy release and bud break depend on the perception of cumulative chilling during endodormancy and heat during the bud development. The objectives of this work were to identify candidate genes involved in dormancy and flowering processes in sw...

Sweet cherry, a non-climacteric fruit, is usually cold-stored during post-harvest to prevent over-ripening. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of abscisic acid (ABA) on fruit growth and ripening of this fruit, considering as well its putative implication in over-ripening and effects on quality. We measured the endogenous concentrations of ABA during the ripening of sweet cherries (Pr...

Identification of genetic polymorphisms and subsequent development of molecular markers is important for marker assisted breeding of superior cultivars of economically important species. Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is an economically important non-climacteric tree fruit crop in the Rosaceae family and has undergone a genetic bottleneck due to breeding, resulting in limited genetic diversity ...
