Black spot, caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata, is one of the postharvest diseases that cause significant economic losses. Polyamine metabolism in fungi plays key roles in cellular processes and pathogen-host interactions. However, little is known about their detailed regulatory mechanisms...

The valorization of bio-waste to acquire products with high added value presents a great profit for the pharmaceutical, medicinal and food industries. Thus, seeds, peels, and pulps obtained from green (GFI), orange (OFI), and purple (PFI) Tunisian pear fruit (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) were evaluated ...

Core browning (CB) is a crucial physiological disorder that occurs in 'Bartlett' pears after excessive storage. Furthermore, environmental factors such as sunlight exposure cause serious related disorders during storage. 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) positively delays the development of disorders,...

Respiration and energy metabolism are intricately linked to the quality and senescence of fruit after harvest. This investigation was carried out to examine alternations in quality parameters, respiration, and energy metabolism of 'Zaosu' pears subsequent to phenyllactic acid immersion. Results...

This study aimed to identify markers in pear capable of predicting the development of internal browning disorder (IBD) at harvest or during early storage. 'Conference' pears were harvested from different orchards at commercial maturity and stored under high CO₂ atmosphere conditions to induce...

The simultaneous detection of multiple residues of pyrethroid pesticides (PPs) on vegetables and fruits is still challenging using traditional nanosensing methods due to the high structural similarity of PPs. In this work, sensor arrays composed of three nanocomposite complexes (rhodamine B-CD@Au,...

In the current study, a total of 16 Pyrus (pear) were collected from the Biayari Valley, Allai, KP, Pakistan. A good quality gDNA was extracted, target region of DNA of each genotype was amplified through PCR, amplified region of DNA was extracted from agarose gel and was sequenced. Among 16...

In this study, phylogenetic analysis of Şah and Paşa apple genotypes was performed using nrDNA ITS sequences. After the plant leaves were brought to the laboratory, gDNAs were obtained by genomic DNA isolation method. PCR amplification was performed using primers ITS4 and ITS5A. ITS sequences of...

Although multi-spectral technology has been widely used to develop low-cost and low-power fruit internal quality detector, the detection precision was poor because of few wavelengths used. To improve the detection precision, we proposed a novel generation method on fruit's false spectra with...

The objective was to evaluate the effect of the planting density of cactus pear cv. Mexican elephant ear under soil physical and chemical properties. Four planting densities were tested: 30,000, 45,000, 60,000 and 75,000 plants distributed in a randomised block design with four replications. After...
