Korla fragrant pear was used as test material, we sprayed different concentrations of ethephon during the large bud stage to investigate the shedding rate of sepals of Korla fragrant pear, observe the fruit growth and development process and fruit drop, determine the fruit quality at the ripening...

Objective: Fruit firmness of blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) at different developmental stages were measured under diverse force and deflection testing modes. We aimed to found and optimize the protocol for blueberry firmness determination. In addition, we also wanted to summarize the breeding tendency...

Abscisic acid (ABA), as an important plant hormone, not only participates in a variety of plant developmental processes and stresses, but also plays a major role in fruit ripening, especially in non-climacteric fruit ripening. With the continuous study of ABA biosynthesis, metabolism and...

The current study involved morphometric evaluation of flake and fruit quality traits in nineteen Jackfruit genotypes/varieties. Greater variability was observed in fruit traits viz., fruit length (31.5-68.5 cm), fruit diameter (45.5-75.9 cm), fruit weight (2.739- 11.185 cm) fruit shape (oblong,...

Premise: In fleshy-fruited plants, fruit removal is widely used as a proxy for plant reproductive success. Nevertheless, this proxy may not accurately reflect the number of seeds dispersed, an assumed better proxy for total fitness (fruit removal × mean number of seeds dispersed per fruit)....

Objective: Pineapple is one of the most important tropic fruits in China, but lack of desirable varieties are the key factor that restricts Chinese pineapple industrial development. It is urgent to breed new pineapple varieties with good fruit quality to meet market demand. In this study, fruit...

In order to explore the influence of different soil moisture treatments in different orchards on Fuji apple fruit quality, we focused on the differences in appearance quality, screened the most suitable water control method used in production. With the Fuji apple variety 'Yanfu 3' as material, we...

[Objective] The studies on the contents and components of sugars and acids in fruit have been widely concerned. Among them, the contents and components of organic acids are the important indicators to determine the quality and flavor of fruit. Thus, to determine and explore the physiological basis...

Objective: Impacts of dwarfing rootstock on the performance of apple trees are affected by environmental conditions. There is no precedent for application of dwarfing rootstocks in apple trees in Xinjiang. In addition, fruit load is one of the most important factors that affect the sustainable...

Objective: The appropriate concentration and spraying period of a flower thinning agent: ammonium thiosulfate (ATS) for Tianhong 2 apple were explored, and the effects of ATS on fruit quality were studied so as to provide reference for the application of ATS in apple. Methods: The experiment was...
