Changes in the content of micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and B) and Al in the soil and raspberry leaves and fruits were monitored during a two-year period. Calcification reduced the content of micronutrients and Al in the soil, as well as their content in the plant. Applied doses of lime or dolomite of 4 t ha−1 almost completely neutralized the high to toxic content of mobile Al in the soil, but the values in the leaves although reduced were still high. In all applied treatments, high and very high concentrations of available forms of Fe and Mn in the soil and/or leaves and fruits were significantly reduced. However, the Mn concentrations in the soil, leaves, and raspberry fruits were very high. Calcification did not reduce the available Cu in the soil, while this effect was observed in raspberry leaves and fruits where the Cu concentrations were within optimal values. After calcification, the Zn and B concentrations decreased in the soil and plant, but they mostly remained within the optimal values. The results indicate that due to the very high concentrations of Al and Mn in the soil and plant after lime application, additional doses of lime materials in more than one season are required.","PeriodicalId":14014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fruit Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75513738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Study of Various Floral Types on Different Plants of Garcinia indica (Thouars) Choisy and Correlation of Its Functionality in Sexual Reproduction","authors":"Siddhi V. Baskaware, M.

The other reported sexual systems of Garcinia include gynodioecious, androdioecious, monoecious, and andromonoecious. Garcinia indica (Thouars) Choisy was reported as facultative apomictic polygamodioecious species. There is a large diversity in floral types. Hence, a detailed study of various floral types found on different types of plants of G. indica and to correlate its functionality with sexual reproduction was undertaken. The study at Kokum Plot, BSSKVV, Dapoli, revealed that the male plants could be categorized into four types – androecious, functional males, andromonoecious, and hermaphrodites. The female plants displayed large variation in number and viability of stamens/staminodes. Each category showed significant difference in phenology, floral morphology and pollen types. In December, the percentage of staminate flowers (79.13 ± 2.93%) in androecious trees was significantly higher than functional males (58.61 ± 8.60%) or andromonoecious trees (56.36 ± 2.77%) (p ≤ .01). As female plants started flowering, all male morphotypes bore significantly higher numbers of staminate flowers and carpellate flowers were significantly reduced. Pollen viability was highest in androecious flowers at 90.11 ± 1.10% and lowest at 64.70 ± 2.09% in hermaphrodite trees. Earlier studies reported female flowers bore well-developed female gametophyte, but the embryo development was not observed. Thus, the fruit formation might be apomictic, but in present embryological investigation; more than 60% of female and andromonoecious flowers, a well-developed embryo was formed between 8 and 24 h after anthesis. Thus, the embryo formation might be sexual or apomictic. Floral types favoring sexual reproduction are essential for conservation of highly endemic species.","PeriodicalId":14014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fruit Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78849638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, effect of different pre-storage treatment of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) were studied on the shelf life and quality of apricot cv. ‘Shahroudi’ fruit. Experimental treatments were control (air), and active MAP includes: MAP1 (10% O2/20% CO2), MAP2 (20% O2/10% CO2), MAP3 (5% O2/80% CO2), MAP4 (80% O2/5% CO2) and MAP5 (40% O2/20% CO2), all treatments were balanced by N2. After 6 days of pre-storage treatments, fruits were unpacked, repacked and then were stored at 2°C and 85% relative humidity for 28 days. Results indicated that MAP5 and MAP3 treatments significantly reduced weight loss and total soluble solids, and maintained fruit hardness in comparison with other treatments. High CO2 treatment improved postharvest traits of apricot. Interestingly, high CO2 in combination with high O2 (active MAP5) improved the sensory evaluation as scored the best treatment by panelists, and also maintained better chemical properties such as total phenolic compounds, total carotenoids, and vitamin C. In addition, shelf life of fruit in active MAP5 (29.6 days) significantly extended followed by active MAP3 (27.6 days), compared to control (14.6 days) without signs of decay until the end of the storage period. Overall, it can be concluded that the pre-storage treatment of fresh apricot fruit in an atmosphere with high O2 (40%) and CO2 (20%) concentrations had a positive effect on the post-harvest quality attributes and shelf life of apricot cultivar ‘Shahroudi,’ and can be suggested as an effective and practical method to prolong its postharvest life.","PeriodicalId":14014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fruit Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79764035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The white-fleshed, red/pink-fleshed guava, and, to a lesser extent, strawberry guavas that grow in different agroecological zones are the most common Kenyan varieties. The purpose of this study was to determine the physicochemical properties and processing qualities of the common Kenyan guava fruits. A completely randomized study design was used to profile the fruits' physicochemical composition and processing qualities. Approximately 1000kg of the red and white-fleshed guava fruits and 150 kg of strawberry guavas were procured in duplicates from randomly selected trees in farms within Taita Taveta and Kitui counties. These were pooled into respective varieties and subjected to triplicate batches for the analysis of physicochemical and processing qualities. The fruits had distinct flesh colors and sizes that varied significantly (p<0.05), with shapes ranging from oval to round to pear-shaped. The chemical composition of the fruits varied significantly (p<0.05), with a PCA biplot explaining approximately 58% of the variability due to intra (61%) and inter (39%) varietal differences. The strawberry guava’s vitamin C levels were significantly (p=0.0001) lower than the red and white guavas’, at 164.11±11.85, 1365.15± 50.56 and 1665.56±126.50 mg100−1g, respectively. The white-fleshed guavas, on the other hand, were low in β-carotenes (0.04±0.06 mg100−1g) in comparison to the red-fleshed (1.98±0.62mg100−1g) and strawberry guava (1.55 ± 0.30mg100−1g). The strawberry guavas had significantly (p<0.05) higher mineral and total flavonoids contents whereas the total phenolics (1649.14±329.70mgGAE100−1g) and antioxidant activities (1989.14±383.47µMTE100−1g) were significantly (p=0.048) higher in the red-fleshed guava. While strawberry production would be a processing constraint, the red-fleshed guavas had significantly (p<0.05) higher beta-carotene, phytochemicals, and minerals than the white, and therefore best suited for processing.","PeriodicalId":14014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fruit Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83199246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During cold storage, significantly lower weight loss was recorded in fruit treated with AV compared to control. At the end of the cold storage, the weight loss was 20% lower in AV treated fruits and AV concentration was not effective in weight loss. On the contrary, the respiration rate (except for the 7th day) and fruit firmness were higher in these fruit. It was observed that color changes were less in AV-treated fruit during storage. In general, AV-treated fruit had significantly lower SSC, while acidity and vitamin C were higher. Moreover, 66% AV application was more effective in delaying the loss of vitamin C at the end of storage. During cold storage, 33% AV-treated fruit had significantly higher total phenolics (except day 28) and total flavonoids content compared to control. In the last two measurements of the cold storage, it was determined that fruit dipped in AV had higher antioxidant activity (both DPPH and FRAP assays) compared to control fruit. As a result, it was revealed that postharvest AV gel applications can be used as an effective postharvest tool to delay the loss of quality, the loss of phytochemical components and antioxidant activity of the blueberry fruit.","PeriodicalId":14014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fruit Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89112436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on field observation, the principal growth stages were described and sequentially established. Photographs and stereomicroscope acquisition software were used to illustrate the phenological stages of male and female plants. The scale includes seven principal stages starting with bud development (stage 0), followed by leaf development (Stage 1), main stem elongation (Stage 3), inflorescence emergence (Stage 5), flowering (Stage 6), fruit development (Stage 7) and ending with fruit maturation (stage 8), with mesostages for male and female inflorescence (stage 5) and flower development (stage 6). Through field observations carried out in plants in different growth conditions, the proposition of this extended BBCH scale was made, to have a standardized system for Corema album phenological stages.

The botanical characterization of old varieties is an important step toward their identification and can also help to clarify synonymies and homonymies, problems very commonly encountered with this crop. The present work provides ampelographic descriptions of seven genotypes for which microsatellite marker profiles were already available, and discusses the possible origins of their names, as well as instances of synonymy and homonymy. Seven accessions of ancient grapevine genotypes from the Spanish Levant were subjected to in situ ampelographic analysis following official methods. The characteristics of their leaves, bunches and berries were recorded. The ampelographic descriptions made in the present work provide insight into the history of cultivation of the examined genotypes and would pave the way for their inclusion in the Spanish national catalog, which would allow their commercial use. The information gathered on the possible origin of these genotypes’ names, and instances of synonymy and homonymy, enriches our knowledge of this recovered germplasm.
