Chilling Injury of Sweet Cherry Flower Buds with and without Freezing.

Cyanogenic Glucosides and Derivatives in Almond and Sweet Cherry Flower Buds from Dormancy to Flowering

Almond and sweet cherry are two economically important species of the Prunus genus. They both produce the cyanogenic glucosides prunasin and amygdalin. As part of a two-component defense system, prunasin and amygdalin release toxic hydrogen cyanide upon cell disruption. In this study, we investigated the potential role within prunasin and amygdalin and some of its derivatives in endodormancy re...

Dormant Flower Buds Actively Accumulate Starch over Winter in Sweet Cherry

Temperate woody perennials survive to low temperatures in winter entering a dormant stage. Dormancy is not just a survival strategy, since chilling accumulation is required for proper flowering and arbitrates species adaptation to different latitudes. In spite of the fact that chilling requirements have been known for two centuries, the biological basis behind remain elusive. Since chilling acc...

Chilling and Freezing of Foods

The principle of the refrigerated preservation of foods is to reduce, and maintain, the temperature of the food such that it stops, or significantly reduces, the rate at which detrimental changes occur in the food. These changes can be microbiological (i.e. growth of microorganisms), physiological (e.g. ripening, senescence, and respiration), biochemical (e.g. browning reactions, lipid oxidatio...
