Background: Availability of quality planting materials is the major impediment in extension cultivation low chilling peach northern plans. Plum suckers are mostly used as rootstocks for raising peach; however nematode infestation a problem. Seeds all cultivars do not germinate under subtropical climate plains Northern India. Hence, an experiment was carried out at ICAR-CISH, Lucknow on seed ger...

Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a causal agent of peach (Prunus persica L.) tree gummosis, a serious disease affecting peach cultivation and production. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis remains unclear. RNA-Seq was performed to investigate gene expression in peach shoots inoculated or mock-inoculated with L. theobromae. A total of 20772 genes were detected in eight sampl...

This article is divided into three parts. The first part, the most important one, deals with spectroscopic methods. Different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are useful for fruit quality characterisation, in particular the visible and near-infrared regions. Concerning the visible one, studies have been carried out on apple, apricot, cherry, mango, peach, red table grape and tomato, when...

Peach is an ideal species for fruit tree research because of its small, fully sequenced genome. Chloroplast development is dependent on the tight cooperation between the nuclear and plastid genomes, and is regulated by GLK transcription factors. In this work, the pigment content was monitored and the chloroplast-to-chromoplast conversion during the fruit ripening was visualized by transmission ...

TCP has become the de-facto protocol standard for congestion control in the existing terrestrial Internet. But it was designed keeping in mind low Round Trip Time and low channel error rates typically experienced in a wired network. In this paper we have considered TCP Protocol variants like Tahoe, Reno, New Reno, SACK, FACK, Vegas, Westwood and Peach. TCP Peach is found to be better than the o...

Title of Dissertation: ROLE OF PEACH [PRUNUS PERSICA (L.) BATCSH] EXTRAFLORAL NECTARIES IN MEDIATING NATURAL ENEMY-HERBIVORE INTERACTIONS Clarissa Ruth Mathews, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation Directed By: Professor Dale G. Bottrell Department of Entomology Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are reported to benefit some plants when ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) use their secretions and fend ...

It is generally recommended that broadleaf plants in and around peach orchards must be controlled to minimize damage from stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and plant bugs (Lygus spp.). In research orchards located in West Virginia, USA, I have been growing peach trees as a monoculture or interplanted with apple, with and without the presence of broadleaf flowering plants. The flowering plants were used...

Reconfiguration of the metabolome is a key component involved in the acclimation to cold in plants; however, few studies have been devoted to the analysis of the overall metabolite changes after cold storage of fruits prior to consumption. Here, metabolite profiling of six peach varieties with differential susceptibility to develop mealiness, a chilling-injury (CI) symptom, was performed. Accor...
