Abstract:: ... Effects of annual versus biennial cropping with varying shoot densities on plant structure, berry yield and quality were studied in ‘Glen Ample’ raspberry over a period of four seasons (two cropping years). In the vegetative phase, primocane height and internode length were larger in the annual than in the biennial cropping system. These parameters as well as Botrytis infestation increased with ...

Abstract:: ... Kiwifruit exhibit a peculiar ripening pattern, as extensive softening is known to occur in the absence of any detectable ethylene. We previously demonstrated that this softening is regulated by low temperature independent of ethylene. However, there are no reports that provide comparisons of the ripening patterns among different kiwifruit cultivars at various storage temperatures. The purpose of t ...

Abstract:: ... Because of the limited number and size of the oil extraction opportunities, olives are generally piled and stored at ambient temperatures for weeks before processing. Under these conditions biochemical changes could result a negative affect on the olive quality. The changes in the olive result poor stability in olive oil because of the oxidation and decomposition of bioactive compounds such as phe ...

Abstract:: ... The effects of gaseous chlorine dioxide fumigation treatment on the quality of Actinidia arguta “Daebo,” a hardy kiwifruit, were investigated. Hardy kiwifruit was fumigated with 30 mg L⁻¹ chlorine dioxide gas for 30 min and stored at 2 °C for 5 weeks. Fruit firmness rapidly decreased the first 2 weeks of storage after fumigation, whereas the content of soluble solids increased. However, the firmne ...

Abstract:: ... Softening during storage limits the shelf life of pear fruit (Pyrus spp.) which lead to remarkable losses. To develop an effective technique to reduce softening and maintain quality of pear fruit, the effect of postharvest dip treatment of putrescine (PUT) @ 1 mM, 2 mM and 3 mM was investigated on pear fruit cv. Punjab Beauty. The 2 mM and 3 mM PUT treatment effectively reduced the weight loss (WL ...
