The usefulness of nondestructive methods for measuring chlorophyll content in skin of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples and for evaluating quality parameters and fruit maturity using optical reflectance spectrometry was studied. The fruit weight, firmness, total soluble solids content and titratable acidity during vegetation period and short-term storage at 10°C of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples were measur...

background: nanosilver particles are among the potentially candidates for modulating the redox status and changing the growth, performance and quality of plants because of their physicochemical characteristics.   objective: this study was carried out to elucidate the potential effects of nanosilver particles application on variations of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll and carotenoids) and ...
