This study was conducted to estimate the yield, and identify quantify primary secondary metabolites in fruit of Malus domestica Borkh. cv. ‘Sampion’ under two agrotechnical factors: floor management (herbicide fallow living mulch) dose nitrogen (50, 80, 110, 140 kg ha−1). Compared herbicide fallow, mulch did not decrease yield. Research showed a rich composition phenolic volatile organic compou...

El trabajo se realizó en Montecillo, Texcoco, México, durante 1997. Se estudió la respuesta del manzano (Malus domestica Borkh)cv. Golden Delicious de dos años edad a diferentes niveles humedad (fertirriego, FR; acolchado, AC; y temporal, TM), fertilización orgánica (con sin) varios portainjertos (MM.111, MM.106, M.7, M.26). Los factores analizaron un diseño bloques al azar, con arreglo parcela...

Yellow-skinned ‘Tsugaru’, ‘Summer King’, and ‘Shinano Gold’ apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) were coated with a mixture of edible sucrose monoesters fatty acid ethanol that had never been applied in those apple fruits, for up to 28 days after room temperature storage (DAS) evaluate their morphological characteristics, fruit qualities, antioxidant concentrations. The coating treatment significa...

Red fleshed apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) differ in colour intensity between cultivars, seasons and sites. The objective of this study was to develop a procedure for predicting anthocyanin content from digital images flesh discs. Flesh cylinders uniform were excised, scanned their colours determined the R, G B L*a*b* spaces. Anthocyanin also quantified chemically. A calibration line constru...

Flower induction in apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is regulated by complex gene networks that involve multiple signal pathways to ensure flower bud formation in the next year, but the molecular determinants of apple flower induction are still unknown. In this research, transcriptomic profiles from differentiating buds allowed us to identify genes potentially involved in signaling pathways that ...

In this study, we evaluated the changes in apple fruit quality during shelf life. After a month of cold storage, apples of cultivars "Jonagold" and "Golden Delicious" were exposed to ambient temperatures for 21 d, with subsequent sampling every 3 or 4 d. Fruit firmness, changes in amounts of sugars, malic acid, and phenolics were observed during shelf life. Chemical analyses were done with HPLC...
