Interplay between hormones and assimilates during pear development and ripening and its relationship with the fruit postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)
The ability of European pears (Pyrus communis L.) to ripen immediately after harvest is cultivar-dependent and relies on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring during fruit growth and ...
Ethylene biosynthesis and response factors are differentially modulated during the interaction of peach petals with Monilinia laxa or Monilinia fructicola
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
Monilinia spp. may infect stone fruit at any growth stage, although susceptibility to brown rot depends on both host properties and climatological conditions. This said, no studies deciphering the host ...
Understanding the key preharvest factors determining ‘Packham’s Triumph’ pear heterogeneity and impact in superficial scald development and control
(Elsevier, 2020-11-06)
Although superficial scald (SS) is well characterized on apples, there is still few information regarding the influence that initial fruit’s maturity heterogeneity may have on the development of this ...
Unravelling the cold-induced regulation of ethylene and α-farnesene and its involvement with the development of scald-like disorders in different pear cultivars
(Elsevier, 2020-12-26)
To better understand the cold-induced regulation of scald-like disorders in pears and the specific roles played by ethylene and α-farnesene, three pear cultivars with different patterns of ethylene ...
Ethylene and abscisic acid play a key role in modulating apple ripening after harvest and after cold-storage
(Elsevier, 2022-03-19)
An autocatalytic burst in ethylene production generally accompanies ripening of detached apple fruit. However, if apples are left to ripen attached to the tree, some cultivars, will not experience this ...
Dissecting the influence of the orchard location and the maturity at harvest on apple quality, physiology and susceptibility to major postharvest pathogens
(Elsevier, 2021-04-03)
‘Golden Reinders’ apple quality parameters, fruit physiology, biochemical composition and susceptibility to Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer were analysed in fruit harvested from four different ...
New insights into early biochemical prediction of internal browning disorder in 'Conference' pears
(Elsevier, 2023-09-28)
This study aimed to identify markers in pear capable of predicting the development of internal browning disorder (IBD) at harvest or during early storage. ´Conference´ pears were harvested from different ...
ROS-scavenging-associated transcriptional and biochemical shifts during nectarine fruit development and ripening
(Elsevier, 2021-12-24)
ROS are known as toxic by-products but also as important signaling molecules playing a key role in fruit development and ripening. To counteract the negative effects of ROS, plants and fruit own multiple ...
Molecular and biochemical differences underlying the efficacy of lovastatin in preventing the onset of superficial scald in a susceptible and resistant Pyrus communis L. cultivar
(Elsevier, 2020-12-24)
The molecular and biochemical events underlying the onset of superficial scald in two pear cultivars with different susceptibility (‘Blanquilla’ and ‘Conference’) was investigated in fruit untreated and ...
