Previous reviews of plum phytochemical content and health benefits have concentrated on the European plum, Prunus domestica L. However, the potential bioactivity of red- and dark red-fleshed Japanese plums, Prunus salicina Lindl., so-called blood plums, appears to warrant a significant increase in exposure, as indicated in a recent review of the whole Prunus genus. Furthermore, Japanese plums a...

Anthocyanins are a class of water-soluble flavonoids widely present in fruits and vegetables responsible for the red flesh formation peach fruit. Previously, several genes MYB family have been reported as transcriptional regulators anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway structural plants. In this study, through comparative transcriptome analysis white cultivars Harrow Blood Asama Hakuto, predicted tr...

The experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of GA3, 2,4-D on fruit growth and fruit quality of wax apple. The experiment consisted of Red A, Monulla, Atu, Red B cultivars. GA3 and 2,4-D were applied at the small bud and petal fall stage. Physiological, biochemical characters of fruit were recoded. The result showed application of GA3, 2,4-D greatly response in increasing fruit set for a...

The Pacific chinook salmon occurs as both white- and red-fleshed populations, with the flesh color type (red or white) seemingly under strong genetic influence. Previously published data on crosses between red- and white-fleshed individuals cannot be reconciled with a simple Mendelian two-locus, two-allele model, pointing to either a more complex inheritance pattern or the existence of gene int...

an increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. information on this subject is limited at the present time. in search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (gdd), ful...

Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

Discoloration of dark-fleshed fish species during storage and processing was mainly due to the reaction of myoglobin, a monomeric globular heme protein contributed to the pigmentation of red meat fish, alone and with other muscle components. Metmyoglobin formation caused by the autooxidation of myoglobin was a major factor influencing the darkening of dark-fleshed fish meat during iced and froz...

Volatile organic compounds determine the aroma properties of durian, and it is an important factor in durian acceptance by consumers. However, limited information devoted to volatile wild edible durians. Therefore, present study aims characterize compare indigenous durians from Sarawak, Borneo. Seven genotypes, namely Durio dulcis, graveolens (yellow-fleshed), (orange-fleshed), (red-fleshed), k...

The great majority of customers choose nutritious, fresh fruit with a distinct color for human ingestion. Golden Delicious apple is popular yellow-colored, delicate, sweetish, somewhat acidic, crisp-fleshed, juicy, fragrant, and aromatic apple. Apples, like other fruits, are stressed throughout their development growth in the field, as well during harvest postharvest environment (processing, st...
