Abstract. Mardaleni, Jumin HB, Nandariyah, Yunus A. 2022. Fruit morphological diversity and quality of pulasan (Nephelium ramboutan-ake) from six populations in Riau, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2526-2533. Pulasan ramboutan-ake), which belongs to the Sapindaceae family, has economic value, but information on its fruit is unknown. Thus, this study aimed characterize morphology fruits Riau Provi...

The physical and chemical characteristics of five pomegranate cultivars (Mridula, Ganesh, White muscut, G-137 Jalor seedless) were examined in the present investigation. Physical properties different determined such as major diameter (85.05 to 91.62 mm), intermediate (76.85 87.83 minor (79.86 90.01 sphericity (0.903 0.937), fruit weight (294.4 404.14 g), volume (289 387 mL), number arils per fr...

Coloring preparations from Hylocereus polyrhizus have recently received attention because peel and/or aril of the fruit exhibit a high content of betacyanins. These pigments are of special interest due to their potential as a red food colorants with a high stability at neutral pH. To improve production yield and to obtain a concentrated Hylocereus fruit extract, Pectinex Ultra SP–L in various d...

Litchi chinensis is a subtropical fruit crop, popular for its nutritional value and taste. Fruits with small seed size and thick aril are desirable in litchi. To gain molecular insight into gene expression that leads to the reduction in the size of seed in Litchi chinensis, transcriptomes of two genetically closely related genotypes, with contrasting seed size were compared in developing ovules...

In spite of the great importance of cellulose the lignin is considered the second most abundant substance of the wood. However, little attention has been given it, mainly to wood properties. The lignin as well as other structural compounds (cellulose and hemicelluloses), has obviously an important role on the wood properties, probably due its composition and existent bonds. In general lignins h...

Gene duplication is the major resource with which to generate new genes, provide raw material for novel functions evolution. Thus, elucidate gene family evolution after events of vital importance. Anthocyanin O-methyltransferases (AOMTs) have been recognized as being capable anthocyanin methylation, increases diversity and stability improves protection plants from environmental stress. Meanwhil...
