Petal color is one of the key characteristics determining the attractiveness and therefore the commercial value of an ornamental crop. Here, we present the first genome-wide association study for the important ornamental crop rose, focusing on the anthocyanin and carotenoid contents in petals of 96 diverse tetraploid garden rose genotypes. Cultivated roses display a vast phenotypic and genetic ...

conclusions due to phenolic content, methanolic extract of m. piperita has moderate antibacterial and antifungal properties against the aforementioned gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi strains. materials and methods the methanolic extract was prepared by standard procedure, and total phenol, total flavonoid, and total anthocyanin content were determined using a spectrophotomete...

Background and Objectives: Black mulberry is a juicy and dark purple to black fruit with a good balance of sweetness and tartness. This fruit is highly interested due to high quantities of anthocyanins. The bioactive compounds are often present in fruit tissues and should be released. The aim of this study was to extract bioactive compounds of black mulberries and assessment of heating process ...

In Northeast part in Turkey, wild grown fruits are abundant and they are widely collected and consumed by rural peoples. In this study, the fruits of seven sea buckthorn genotypes from Northeast in Turkey were sampled and analyzed for their total phenolic content, vitamin C, total anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity. Total phenolic, vitamin C and total anthocyanin content varied from 213 to 2...

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...

Relative expressions of structural genes and a number of transcription factors of the anthocyanin pathway relevant in Vaccinium species, and related key enzyme activities were compared with the composition and content of metabolites in skins of ripe fruits of wild albino and blue bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) found in Slovenia. Compared to the common blue type, the albino variant had a 151-fol...

The anthocyanin pattern of artichoke heads (Cynara scolymus L.) has been investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. For this purpose a suitable extraction and liquid chromatographic method was developed. Besides the main anthocyanins-cyanidin 3,5-diglucoside, cyanidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3,5-malonyldiglucoside, cyanidin 3-(3''-malonyl)glu...

Plants of Malva sylvestris L. were studied for change in growth pattern and their anthocyanin production, malvidin and delphinidin with abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Exogenous administration of ABA as foliar spray for five successive days significantly increased anthocyanin content up to five fold with induced morphological variations by increasing height, leaf mass, leaf number, fresh and dry...

This study represents the first paper of the effects of growth regulators on the physiochemical and phytochemical properties of the wax apple fruit, a widely cultivated fruit tree in southeast Asia. Net photosynthesis, sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity, peel color, fruit firmness, juice content, pH value, total soluble solids (TSSs), and the sugar acid ratio were all significantly incre...

the type of training system and application of calcium spray have considerable effects on storability of fruits. in this study, the effects of calcium chloride spray (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g.l-1) in three times during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before harvest time on apple (malus domestica) fruits cvs. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’, which trained in three different training systems (v shape, hightech and cordo...
