Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.) Cracking during Development on the Tree and at Harvest: The Impact of Methyl Jasmonate on Four Different Growing Seasons Open
Rainfall occurring during the developmental stages of sweet cherries on the tree can lead to significant preharvest losses, primarily due to fruit cracking. Certain cultivars exhibit a higher susceptibility to such losses, particularly whe…
View article: Preharvest Multiple Applications of GABA Improve Quality Traits and Antioxidant Compounds of Pomegranate Fruit during Storage
Preharvest Multiple Applications of GABA Improve Quality Traits and Antioxidant Compounds of Pomegranate Fruit during Storage Open
GABA (γ-Aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid with diverse effects on plant development, including delayed senescence in horticultural commodities. The main goal of this research was to investigate the impact of GABA applications to pomegran…
View article: Comparative Effect of Melatonin and 1-Methylcyclopropene Postharvest Applications for Extending ‘Hayward’ Kiwifruit Storage Life
Comparative Effect of Melatonin and 1-Methylcyclopropene Postharvest Applications for Extending ‘Hayward’ Kiwifruit Storage Life Open
Kiwifruit, like many other fruits, is susceptible to dehydration, leading to texture changes and a loss of flavour during storage. Exposing kiwifruit to suboptimal temperatures can control these changes but can cause internal browning. Pos…
View article: Relationship among Sugars, Organic Acids, Mineral Composition, and Chilling Injury Sensitivity on Six Pomegranate Cultivars Stored at 2 °C
Relationship among Sugars, Organic Acids, Mineral Composition, and Chilling Injury Sensitivity on Six Pomegranate Cultivars Stored at 2 °C Open
Pomegranate is a sensitive fruit to chilling injury (CI) during storage at temperatures below 7 °C. However, sensitivity of pomegranate to CI is dependent on cultivar and exposure times to low temperatures. In this work, the sensitivity to…
View article: γ-Aminobutyric acid treatments of pomegranate trees increase crop yield and fruit quality at harvest
γ-Aminobutyric acid treatments of pomegranate trees increase crop yield and fruit quality at harvest Open
γ-Aminobutyric (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that has been reported to affect different plant developmental processes, including delay of fruit senescence and maintenance of quality when applied as postharvest treatment. In this exper…
