Antifungal activities of two essential oils (EOs), derived from the Lavandula angustifolia L. and Thymbra spicata plant leaves were tested in current study against isolates (M1-5 M3-5) Botrytis cinerea Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA). These studies performed vitro a further vivo test with vapor contact application EOs was strawberry fruits to confirm antifungal postharvest storage. In conducted four...

There are only a few strawberry cultivars available in Brazil and all imported from North America Europe. Thus, the introduction of new materials their evaluation under Brazilian environmental conditions is imperative. The objective this study was to evaluate production, chemical components, concentration bioactive compounds edaphoclimatic municipality Pelotas-RS. experiment conducted field wit...

Industrial treated wastewater (TWW) could be an attractive alternative fto fresh water use in agriculture due to the shortage resource especially Mediterranean region. Furthermore, TWW represent efficient substitute for crop production thanks its high load nutrient. However, content of salts or mineral as well organic pollutants can affect safety, productivity and growth. A simple way reduce am...

The anthocyanin composition was analysed in strawberry fruits from five different cultivars (cv. Eris, Oso Grande, Carisma, Tudnew and Camarosa). Twenty-five defined anthocyanin pigments were detected, most of them containing Pelargonidin (Pg) as aglycone; some cyanidin (Cy) derivatives were also found. Glucose and rutinose were the usual substituting sugars, although arabinose and rhamnose tat...

In recent years there has been a marked increase in the demand for fresh-cut fruit. Although these products have high user convenience, they are extremely perishable. Consequently, must be marketed within very short period. A number of studies shown that brief UV-C irradiation prior to storage may reduce postharvest deterioration whole Herein, we evaluated influence different dose and intensity...

Bare-root strawberry plants produced in Patagonia accumulate more reserves the main crown, which allows their immediate development after transplantation. Due to dependence on these bare-root plants, Brazilian producers use early cultivars, start leaves emission and flower buds differentiation advance, since do not always arrive within estimated time for planting southern Brazil. The objective ...

In strawberry, the putative participation of aquaporins should be considered during fruit ripening. Furthermore, the availability of different firmness cultivars in this non-climacteric fruit is a very useful tool to determine their involvement in softening. In a previous work, the cloning of a strawberry fruit-specific aquaporin, FaPIP1;1, which showed an expression profile associated with fru...
