Abstract:
... This work tests the possibility to monitor fruit growth as a potential physiological indicator for tree water status and productive performance in apple, for potential implementation in decision support systems for irrigation scheduling. Starting from 10 weeks after full bloom (WAFB), a wide range of plant water statuses was induced in a “Gala” apple orchard by applying different shading (with red ...

Abstract:
... The basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family is one of the largest transcription factor (TF) families in plants, which play crucial roles in plant growth and development. bZIP proteins are involved in multiple biological processes, as well as responses to various biotic/abiotic stresses. Although genome-wide analysis of the bZIP gene family has been conducted in several plant species, only few comprehen ...

Malus domestica; apples; preharvest treatment; edible films; storage time; harvest date; diameter; signs and symptoms (plants); postharvest diseases; temporal variation; water stress; drought; air temperature; relative humidity; hydrophobicity; disease incidence; application timing; application methods; fruiting
Abstract:
... Lenticel breakdown disorder (LB), most prevalent on 'Gala' (Malus x domestica) apples, especially in arid regions, has also been observed on other common cultivars. Depending on the preharvest environment, fruit maturity, and length of storage, LB usually appears as one or more round, darkened pits, centered on a lenticel, ranging in diameter from 1 to 8 mm. Symptoms are not visible at harvest nor ...
