Abstract:
... In Brazil, the country of origin of the pineapple plant, just a few cultivars are of economic importance, above all the local cultivar 'Pérola' and 'Smooth Cayenne', well known internationally. In spite of their good acceptance for fresh consumption and processing, farmers would benefit from cultivars with at least one additional characteristic - resistance to fusariosis, a disease that causes maj ...

Abstract:
... Vase life (VL) tests on cut roses obtained from commercial sources were conducted at FloraHolland. Water stress symptoms were the most important criterion terminating VL in 46 out of 50 assessed cultivars. These symptoms appear when water loss exceeds water uptake. Inadequate control of water loss during postharvest period, therefore, limits VL. Here we review the link between preharvest condition ...
