Abstract:
... One method of influencing an individual's food consumption involves placing unhealthy snacks further away from individuals, known as the “proximity effect”. However, only one laboratory study has explored the effect while both an unhealthy and a healthy option are presented simultaneously. Further, little is known about the potential underpinning mechanisms of the effect. The current study aims to ...

This group was recently added in the category of classical hormones and considered as sixth novel plant growth hormone. BRs regulate numerous important pomological attributes such as initiation and cessation of flowering, plant canopy architecture, micropropagation, cell divisio ...

Abstract:
... Operculina is a pantropical genus of 14 species, perhaps one of the most stable in taxonomic delimitation in Convolvulaceae. Its operculate-capsular fruit is distinctive and unique in the family, and shared by all species it comprises, despite great variation in other macromorphological traits. Recent molecular phylogenetic results have demonstrated Operculina is monophyletic with high support, re ...

The carbon stable isotopic composition (δ13C) is often analyzed to quantify the addition of acidulants to Japanese apricot liqueur, but little is known about the variation in the δ13C values of the main organic acids arising from differences in the ripeness of Japanese apricots. We show that in Japanese apricot liqueur prepared using fruits at different stages of ripeness, the δ13C values of citri ...

Abstract:
... Fruitlet abscission is typical to many fruit trees, including persimmon, (Diopyros kaki Thunb.), and often results in unstable fruit production and yield. We documented massive parthenocarpic fruitlet abscission in the persimmon cultivars 'Triumph' and 'Shinshu', which initiated soon after anthesis and peaked at 45 days post anthesis. In contrast, abscission of mature fruitlets 45–65 days after an ...

Abstract:
... Apple trees produce many more flower clusters than needed for a full crop, but natural early season flower and fruitlet abscission drastically reduce the final fruit number. Natural fruit abscission varies significantly year to year. There have been attempts to try to model apple fruit abscission in the past. However, due to the great complexity of a perennial crop system in a dynamic environment ...

Abstract:
... Six Ca(NO3)2 sprays at 0.3% and 0.6% from pit hardening (PH) to 1 week before harvest (1WBH) most effectively increased Ca uptake in sweet cherry (Prunus avium). Low concentration (<0.3%) did not affect the absorption of Ca; high concentration (> 1.6%) caused burning of leaf margins. Fruit treated with Ca had greater fruit firmness (FF), soluble solids content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) and ...
