Processing mango fruit into shelf-stable products such as chips, pulp, nectar, and juices can reduce post-harvest losses provide farmers with income while also eliminating inequalities in food security nutrition. Mango pulp is rich macronutrients microminerals but needs to be verified before being used make nectar. This study aimed examine the chemical phytochemical composition of two cultivars...

"Anna" is an early season apple cultivar exhibiting a fast softening and juiciness loss during storage, in comparison to two mid-late season cultivars "Galaxy" and "GD." The poor storage capacity of "Anna" was correlated with high lipid oxidation-related autoluminescence, high respiration and ethylene production rates, associated with high expression of MdACO1, 2, 4, 7, and MdACS1. All cultivar...

A sensory evaluation study was performed at UC Davis to determine if taste differences could be detected among several English walnut (Juglans regia) cultivars. Differences were tested using the duo-trio method, in which 'Hartley' was compared to seven other cultivars. No differences were found when 'Hartley' was compared to 'Vina', 'Scharsch Franquette' and 'Mayette', however 'Chandler', 'Chic...

The article presents information about the new book of first volume “Pomology”, prepared at VNIISPK with participation scientists from leading horticultural institutions Russia under general editorship Academician E.N. Sedov and reissued end 2020 financial support Russian Academy Sciences. edition “Apple” includes more than 200 cultivars included in State Register over past 15 years, 100 are ex...

This study provides cultivar-specific metabolic fingerprints of volatile organic compounds in the headspace cloudy apple juices. Cloudy juices from 47 “true to type” cultivars grown under identical agricultural and climatic conditions South Tyrol, Italy, have been analysed through solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography coupled with high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS–SP...

In natural systems, extended phenotypes of trees can be important in determining the species composition and diversity of associated communities. Orchards are productive systems where trees dominate, and can be highly biodiverse, but few studies have considered the importance of tree genetic background in promoting associated biodiversity. We tested the effect of apple cultivar (plant genetic b...

As high-throughput genetic marker screening systems are essential for a range of genetics studies and plant breeding applications, the International RosBREED SNP Consortium (IRSC) has utilized the Illumina Infinium® II system to develop a medium- to high-throughput SNP screening tool for genome-wide evaluation of allelic variation in apple (Malus×domestica) breeding germplasm. For genome-wide S...

Many important apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) fruit quality traits are regulated by multiple genes, and more information about quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these traits is required for marker-assisted selection. In this study, we constructed genetic linkage maps of the Japanese apple cultivars 'Orin' and 'Akane' using F1 seedlings derived from a cross between these cultivars. The 'Orin'...

The possible relationship of branching habit to cytokinin content of apple shoots (Malus domestica Borkh.) was investigated. One-year old apple shoots are acrotonic (distal branching), more strongly so in Granny Smith than in Braeburn. In the ®rst trial, long, 1-year old Granny Smith and Braeburn apple shoots were sprayed on 29 August 1995 to break rest with dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) oil (5%). Th...
