Persimmon fruits are often affected by large postharvest losses due to rapid ripening and the early onset of senescence. To reduce such in fresh fruits, application hydrocolloid-based edible coatings was conducted. Therefore, a plant gum, tragacanth gum (TCG), applied persimmon at 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% TCG concentrations, stored 20 ± 2 °C 80–85% relative humidity for days (analysis 0, 4th, 8th, 12th, ...

Catechins are essential phenolic compounds in persimmon. However, the catechin content leaves of persimmon germplasms has not been systematically and comprehensively evaluated. To assess variation different growth stages astringency types leaves, young adult 249 from Korea, Japan, 16 provinces China was quantified using an HPLC method. The results showed that (−)-epicatechin (EC) (−)-gallocatec...

Black spot of sweet persimmon, caused by Alternaria alternata, occurred in an orchard in Gyeongnam province, Korea in 2012. The symptom was appearance of 0.5 to 4 cm black spots on the surface of fruit. The pathogen was isolated from flesh of disease lesions. The causal agent was identified as A. alternata by morphological characteristics and sequencers of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) ...

We study the limiting distribution of the degree of a given node in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, a generalized random recursive tree, which is introduced by Devroye et. al (2011). In a scaled attachment random recursive tree, every node $i$ is attached to the node labeled $lfloor iX_i floor$ where $X_0$, $ldots$ , $X_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with support in [0,...

The MYB gene family is one of the largest transcription factor families, which clustered into four subfamilies according to number imperfect amino acid sequences repeats in their conserved domain. R2R3-MYB subfamily that plays a diverse role plant growth and development as well adversity stresses. Diospyros has wide range applications biomedical science food, wood, chemical industries. Among th...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the storage life and quality of persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) fruit cv. ‘Karaj’ stored at 0°C for 4 months after postharvest calcium chloride treatment. Fruit weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, soluble tannin content, chilling injury, antioxidant activity, electrolyte leakage, and malondi...
