CLadron*: AI assisted device for identifying artificially ripened climacteric fruits

Cold shock treatment extends shelf life of naturally ripened or ethylene-ripened avocado fruits

Avocado is an important tropical fruit with high commercial value, but has a relatively short storage life. In this study, the effects of cold shock treatment (CST) on shelf life of naturally ripened and ethylene-ripened avocado fruits were investigated. Fruits were immersed in ice water for 30 min, then subjected to natural or ethylene-induced ripening. Fruit color; firmness; respiration rate;...

Non-climacteric ripening and sorbitol homeostasis in plum fruits.

During ripening fruits undergo several physiological and biochemical modifications that influence quality-related properties, such as texture, color, aroma and taste. We studied the differences in ethylene and sugar metabolism between two genetically related Japanese plum cultivars with contrasting ripening behaviors. 'Santa Rosa' (SR) behaved as a typical climacteric fruit, while the bud sport...

Science Driven Innovations Powering Mobile Product: Cloud AI vs. Device AI Solutions on Smart Device

Recent years have witnessed the increasing popularity of mobile devices (such as iphone) due to the convenience that it brings to human lives. On one hand, rich user profiling and behavior data (including per-app level, app-interaction level and system-interaction level) from heterogeneous information sources make it possible to provide much better services (such as recommendation, advertisemen...

Climacteric vs Non-climacteric

Fruits can be divided into two groups according to the regulatory mechanisms underlying their ripening process. Climacteric fruit, such as tomato, apple, pear, and melon are characterized by a ripening-associated increase in respiration and in ethylene production, the phytohormone ethylene being the major trigger and coordinator of the ripening process. By contrast, nonclimacteric fruits, such ...
