Coffea arabica L. is an important crop in several developing countries. Despite its economic importance, minimal transcriptome data are available for fruit tissues, especially during fruit development where several compounds related to coffee quality are produced. To understand the molecular aspects related to coffee fruit and grain development, we report a large-scale transcriptome analysis of...

Rambutan tree (Nepheliumlappaceum L.) is an important but a lesser known fruit tree in Ghana and has several nutritional and medicinal uses. Efforts to establish plantation of Rambutan in Ghana to ensure its sustainable use is challenged with unavailable planting materials because the seeds are recalcitrant in nature, loses viability easily when exposed to dryness. Seeds are therefore sown dire...

In this study, the effects on quality characteristics such as mass, length, width and color (L*, a* b*) in blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. cv. 'Bluecrop') fruit of biofilm (ParkaTM) sprayed pre-harvest different regimes were investigated. The highest mass was measured T1, T3, T4 T8 treatments at harvest, whereas all harvest +7 similar. At +7, length obtained T1 treatments, respectively. Frui...

Plant hormone keeps a significant role to enlarge the fruit size and quality development. Fruit growers have a lot of interest in making fruit enlargement and shorten maturity to harvest fruit earlier and to make it marketable soon. Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and bark stress play a significant role in fruit enlargement and development. Bilimbi fruit was used in this experiment. The flower bud were ...
