- 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:
- ... Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is an important subtropical fruit crop, grown for its sweet-acidic and juicy pulp. In the past few decades the demand of litchi fruits has soared into new heights both in national as well as international markets. However, the availability of fruit has not kept pace with the increased demand, rendering the market unsaturated. This deficit is attributed to the fastid ...

- Abstract:
- ... The eastern plateau and hill region of India is emerging as a potential litchi producing zone of the country due to its suitable climatic conditions. However constraints arising out of edaphic factors result in altered plant growth behavior of litchi in this agroclimatic zone of India. Keeping this in view, efforts were made to develop a better understanding of growth and development of litchi pla ...

In this study, two F1 longan hybrid populations named FDD265 and FDD97 were created in 2012, using 'Daguocaopu' as pollen parent, meanwhile 'FD265' and 'FD97' selected from 'Fengliduo' × 'Dawuyuan' (FD) F1 population as maternal parents, respectively. In order to obtain reliable hybrids, we developed to identify the hybrids using paternal homozygosis dominant marker. Firstly, using the parental ge ...

- Abstract:
- ... Crop improvement program in litchi is mainly concerned with the development of cultivars adapted to a wide range of climatic conditions, extended harvesting season and quality fruits with improved shelf life. Conventional breeding methods alone do not hold much promise in crop improvement due to the complications related to long juvenile phase, narrow genetic base, high genetic heterozygosis, lack ...

- Abstract:
- ... Millions in India rely on litchi-based orcharding as their means of livelihood. Despite the promises and potential that litchi provides, assured farm income from litchi orchards has become increasingly challenging. The pressure on land due to increasing human and animal population makes area expansion under litchi difficult. Sustained litchi production year in and year out is constantly threatened ...

India, the second largest producer of the crop, has got an important position in the export of lychee as it possesses attractive colour, good size and excellent taste. However, fruit cracking is the most serious problem of quality lychee production in major lychee ...

In order to reduce the amount of applications, trials were conducted to determine whether a once-off full-cover ethephon application after the last post-harvest flush (at dormant stage) could inhibit new leaf ...

- 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. ...
