Waterlogging is becoming an increasingly significant problem for crop production and food security. As one of the largest transcription factor (TFs) families in plant crops, WRKYs are reported to be involved in various abiotic stress responses, including waterlogging resistance. However, little is...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the X-ray on the postharvest quality of kiwifruit and to develop a mathematical model based on electrical properties. Xuxiang kiwifruit was irradiated at different doses (0, 0.2 and 0.4 kGy) by electron-beam generated X-ray to determine physiological...

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Actinidia Lindl. belongs to the family Actinidiaceae. Plants of this genus are popularly known as kiwifruits and are traditionally used to treat a wide range of ailments associated with digestive disorders, rheumatism, kidney problems, cardiovascular system, cancers, ...

The lack of ability to control post-ripening softening is a bottleneck that affects the economic efficiency of 'Cuixiang' kiwifruit. This study investigated the softening mechanisms of fruit texture and microstructural changes during post-ripening at room temperature and established a kinetic model ...

The physicochemical and nutritional properties of three starchy kiwifruit flour (SKF) were systematically studied. The results revealed that the total starch content of SKF was 66.63-80.42%. SKF showed a B-type crystal structure with a grain size between 7.08 and 9.02 μm. In comparison to corn...

Research into variations between kiwifruit varieties particularly their softening quality during storage is important in improving kiwifruit quality. The potential reasons for ripening quality differences between 'Cuixiang' (CX) and 'Hayward' (HWD) kiwifruit were analyzed by physiology and...

Bacterial isolates belonging to Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae, the causal agent of kiwifruit bacterial canker, have been isolated, during 2021 and 2022, from Actinidia chinensis orchards of Central Italy planted with cultivars Hayward and Zespri G3®. A total of 23 isolates were obtained from...

Background: Endophytic fungi of medicinal plants, as special microorganisms, are important sources of antibacterial compounds. However, the diversity and antibacterial activity of endophytic fungi from Pinellia Tenore have not been systematically studied. Results: A total of 77 fungi were isolated...

In this study, we have successfully established a high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method for the quality assessment of Actinidiae Fructus Vermicultus, known as Mokcheonryo(ja) in Korea. This is the dried vermiculate fruit of Actinidia polygama and A. kolomikta, as stipulated by...

Actinidia arguta is a cold-resistant tree with abundant resources and diverse varieties. It has rich nutrition and high medicinal value. In order to promote the development of Actinidia arguta industry and strengthen the development of Actinidia arguta products, the current research status of ...
