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 ...
Field validation of biocontrol strategies to control brown rot on stone fruit in several European countries
(Wiley, 2021-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. is the most signicant disease of stone fruit. New approaches to fruit production have necessitated the development of control strategies that are more ...
Perceived quality in fresh peaches: an approach through structural equation modeling
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2011-02-28)
The quality requirements that consumers consider in their
decision to purchase fresh fruit have garnered a great deal of attention from the actors in the
fresh fruit productivity chain. This study ...
Efficacy of environmental friendly disinfectants against the major postharvest pathogens of stone fruits on plastic and wood surfaces
(SAGE Publications, 2018-09-30)
Disinfection of surface facilities during postharvest handling operation is an important practice to avoid secondary fruit infections at stone fruit packinghouses. The aim of this work was to evaluate ...
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 ...
Pesticide dose adjustment in fruit and grapevine orchards by DOSA3D: Fundamentals of the system and on-farm validation
(Elsevier, 2021-12-04)
Agricultural productivity cannot be sustained without the application of plant protection measures. Within the framework of integrated pest management (IPM), the use of chemical pesticides should be ...
Spatial distribution of flavor components and antioxidants in the flesh of ‘Conference’ pears and its relationship with postharvest pathogens susceptibility
(Elsevier, 2019-09-13)
The spatial distribution of dry matter, ethylene production, respiration rate, organic acids, sugars, antioxidants, volatiles and fungal (Penicillium expansum and Rhizopus stolonifer) growth was evaluated ...
Comparative Genomics Used to Predict Virulence Factors and Metabolic Genes among Monilinia Species
(MDPI, 2021-06-08)
Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is among the most important diseases in stonefruits, and some pome fruits (mainly apples). This disease is responsible for significant yield losses,particularly in ...
GreenTray® TIS bioreactor as an effective in vitro culture system for the micropropagation of Prunus spp. rootstocks and analysis of the plant-PGPMs interactions
(Elsevier, 2021-09-23)
The use of the GreenTray® TIS bioreactor for the in vitro analysis of the interaction between plantlets and two Plant Growth-Promoting Microorganisms (PGPMs) (Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 and ...
Current situation, trends and challenges for efficient and sustainable peach production
(Elsevier, 2022-01-22)
In Spain, the total surface occupied by deciduous fruit species in 2019 was 190,414 ha. Peach is the second most
important Prunus species with 77,464 ha and a production of 1,480,000 t per year. Labour ...
