The nutritional value of fruit has been widely studied and is demanded by consumers, especially for protection against cardiovascular disorder, cancer and other diseases, as well as for general health benefits. These benefits can also be ascribed to the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of fruit. Fruit nutritional quality can be described by a standard quality parameter and the analyses of nutri...

Hawthorn (Crataegus spp. L.) is a native fruit of great economic importance in Turkey and has been widely using in folk medicine particularly for the treatment of mild heart diseases for a long time. In the study, 18 previously selected hawthorn genotypes belong to several Crataegus species grown in the hawthorn repository collection in Malatya province in Turkey were evaluated. Fruit mass and ...

The olive tree is a plant of economic value for the oil of its drupe. It is a cultigen complex composed of genotypes with differences in cold-hardiness. About 90% of the oil is stored in oil bodies (OBs) in the drupe during the oleogenic phase. Phenols and lipids contribute to oil quality, but the unsaturated fatty acid (FA) fraction is emerging as the most important for quality, because of the...

this study was conducted to determine water stress tolerance of two iranian dudaim melons (kerman & birjand) and one iranian muskmelon (samsoury). throughout the experiment, three different levels of irrigation with three irrigation starting points (-50, -65 and -75 cb of matric potential) were employed. results indicated that water stress significantly affected yield, firmness, fruit sugars as...

The flavour profiles of two genotypes of Charentais cantaloupe melons (medium shelf-life and long shelf-life), harvested at two distinct maturities (immature and mature fruit), were investigated. Dynamic headspace extraction (DHE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS) were used to determine vol...

This study was carried out to determine the performance of 6 different day-neutral varieties (Albion, Monterey, Portola, Sweet Ann, Kabarla and San Andreas) 1 local genotype in open field ecological conditions Yahyalı (Kayseri/Türkiye) 2021-2022 growing season. In research, first flowering date 19 March (local genotype) 27 (Portola), harvest start May (Kabarla) 25 (Albion), end August 17 20 Sep...

Passion fruit production in Brazil is concentrated tropical regions, however, recently has expanded to regions with temperate climate. Cultivar performance different climate and soil can lead variation the contents of bioactive compounds juice rind fruit. This study characterized content passion six genotypes (‘Catarina Roxo’, ‘Catarina’, ‘Urussanga’, ‘BRS Gigante Amarelo’, Rubi do Cerrado’, So...

Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends, a full-length cDNA sequence of a GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase-like gene was isolated from leaves infected by Erysiphe necator in the Chinese wild (Vitis pseudoreticulata) clone, 'Baihe-35-1', an E. necator-resistant genotype. The full-length cDNA, designated as VpVTC, comprised 1943 bp and putatively encodes a 453-amino acid polypeptide containing an HIT...

The soluble sugar concentration of fleshy fruit is a key determinant of fleshy fruit quality. It affects directly the sweetness of fresh fruits and indirectly the properties of processed products (e.g., alcohol content in wine). Despite considerable divergence among species, soluble sugar accumulation in a fruit results from the complex interplay of three main processes, namely sugar import, su...

| Environment and genotype a ect the composition, quality, storability and sensory properties of plant based-products. Visible-near infrared (NIR) spectral measurements is used increasingly to monitor fruit properties such as maturity, sensory properties and storability non-destructively both prior to harvest and during storage. To explore this problem, at harvest and after storage, visible-NIR...
