Juicers work by extracting the juice and some pulp from fruits and/or vegetables. Freshly squeezed juice is great for getting the vitamins, minerals, beneficial plant chemicals (phytochemicals), and carbohydrates that are extracted from a whole fruit. However, you won?t get much of the fiber, and depending on the fruit, you may not get any of it. Fiber [2] aids in the digestive process. It acts...

Mildew resistance Locus O (MLO), a gene family specific to plants, plays significant roles in the resistance to powdery mildew (PM) and response to a variety of abiotic stresses, plant growth and development. Despite their importance as barley, rice, wheat, few studies are reported in dicots except Arabidopsis; no global analysis has been performed in the burgeoning model fruit plant sweet oran...

Current research aimed at studying the effect of benzothiazole (BTH) on fruit quality and resistance against Penicillium italicum (P. italicum). Recently, a synthetically prepared novel BTH was introduced that elicits induction various diseases fruits. However, little reported disease postharvest navel orange fruit. In this study, 50 mg·L−1 significantly reduced decay rate fruits during 36 days...

the field experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil moisture tension and potassium on growth and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of thomson navel orange on citrumelo rootstock in kotra citrus research station in ten years (1998-2009). the experiment was designed for four replications in randomized complete blocks with factorial treatment structure. the factors consisted ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The mechanisms involving light control of vitamin C content in fruits are not yet fully understood. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact of fruit and leaf shading on ascorbate (AsA) accumulation in tomato fruit and to determine how fruit sugar content (as an AsA precursor) affected AsA content. METHODS Cherry tomato plants were grown in a glasshouse. The control ...

Chemical control of the citrus nematode, Tylenchulus semipenetrans Cobb, has consistently increased yield of grapefruit on sour orange rootstock in Texas. In this study, data from chemical control tests conducted from 1973 to 1980 were analyzed to determine the relationship between nematode counts and grapefruit yield and fruit size. The correlation between yield and nematode counts was negativ...
