The influences of controlled atmosphere (CA) and storage time on ultrastructural degradation of chelate-soluble pectin (CSP) in yellow peaches (Prunus persica L. Batsch.) were investigated. Freshly harvested peaches were stored at 2 ◦C under CA (CA1, 2% O2 + 10% CO2; CA2, 5% O + 5% CO ) or regular atmosphere conditions. Qualitative and quantitative aspects of CSP polymers were studied by atomic...

Prunus armeniaca L., apricot, is a member of family Rosaceae bears deciduous tree [1]. Still its origin is unclear among the researchers. In olden times it was known in America, then started to cultivate [2]. It is assumed that it may have originated in Northeastern China close to the Russian border. According to Morikian ES [3] it was known to Armenians which is supported by the discovery of i...

The two commercially important fruiting cherries in North America are Prunus cerasus L. (sour) and P. avium L. (sweet). Carbon partitioning between individual organs, reproductive and vegetative, is dependent upon photoassimilate supply from photosynthesis and storage carbohydrate, as well as the ability of the translocation system to deliver these resources to sinks (Layne and Flore, 1995). Si...

‘Perfection’ apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca L.) were treated with 1 ml l 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP) for 4 h at 20°C then stored at 0 or 20°C. The onset of ethylene production was delayed and respiration rate was reduced following MCP treatment. MCP treatment resulted in less firmness and titratable acidity loss during storage at both temperatures and delayed production of volatile alcohols and...

O objetivo deste artigo é o de refletir sobre a contribuição do sociólogo e cientista político Otávio Soares Dulci (1948-2018) na análise da “questão regional” suas interfaces com projeto desenvolvimento das elites periféricas, no contexto pós-revolução 1930. Argumentamos que problematiza interpretação sociológica modernização Brasil, tendo estado Minas Gerais como principal referência investig...

Prunus is an economically important genus well-known for cherries, plums, almonds, and peaches. The genus can be divided into three major groups based on inflorescence structure and ploidy levels: (1) the diploid solitary-flower group (subg. Prunus, Amygdalus and Emplectocladus); (2) the diploid corymbose group (subg. Cerasus); and (3) the polyploid racemose group (subg. Padus, subg. Lauroceras...
