The aim of this study was to establish DRIS (Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System) norms Nutritional Optimal Ranges (NOR) for ‘Rojo Brillante’ Protected Designation Origin (PDO) ‘Ribera del Xúquer’. database contained 800 leaf samples collected in different crop phenological stages [after flowering (AF), fruit enlargement (FE), colouring (FC), harvesting HV)]. (78) were established ma...

The changes in the state of climate have a high impact on perennial fruit crops thus threatening food availability. Indeed, climatic factors affect several plant aspects, such as phenological stages, physiological processes, disease-pest frequency, yield, and qualitative composition tissues derived products. To mitigate effects parameters variability, plants implement strategies defense, by cha...

the main postharvest problems of persimmon in iran are severe softening and disease incidence on the fruits during storage. therefore, delay in softening and/or control of diseases result in the storage life extension of persimmon fruit. the strategy of induced disease resistance in plants by biotic and abiotic treatments is an attractive method for controlling diseases. salicylic acid (sa) is ...

Retrotransposon-based molecular markers are powerful molecular tools. However, these markers are not readily available due to the difficulty in obtaining species-specific retrotransposon primers. Although recent techniques enabling the rapid isolation of retrotransposon sequences have facilitated primer development, this process nonetheless remains time-consuming and costly. Therefore, research...

Fruit cell wall modification is the primary factor affecting fruit softening. Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase/hydrolase (XTH), a cell wall-modifying enzyme, is involved in fruit softening. In this study, two novel XTH genes (DkXTH6 and DkXTH7) were identified from persimmon fruit. Transcriptional profiles of both of the two genes were analyzed in different tissues of persimmon, and in response ...
