Abstract:
... Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) belong to the family Sapindaceae, is harvested in high temperature and humid summer, resulting in rapid senescence. Therefore, it is important to optimize postharvest handling to extend storage life or maintain quality of the fruit. Treating longan fruit with sulfur has been the most effective postharvest handling technique, and is widely used in practice. Common s ...

Abstract:
... Owing to the genetically diverse nature of seedlings produced, seed propagation in litchi is not advisable. Furthermore, the long juvenile phase of seed propagated plants accompanied with the tendency of irregular bearing makes this method of propagation uneconomical and inefficient. Conventionally litchi is propagated by vegetative means like air layering, which again are slow and inefficacious. ...
