Chayote is originally from southern Mexico and Guatemala has been a staple food highly appreciated in Brazil worldwide. This study was carried out on Red Yellow Latosol 2020 to investigate the relationship between physical properties of chayote fruit variety Cambray their mass, aiming indicate criteria for direct selection more attractive fruits. The parameters evaluated were mass (MAS), larges...

This study identified the secondary metabolites present and determined the antioxidant activity of 31 edible wild fruits grown in Benguet province, Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. Total polyphenol and flavonoid content were estimated using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride method respectively. Antioxidant activity was measured through diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay. Based o...

The composition and content of the active constituents and their biological activity vary according to diverse factors including their maturation stages. A previous study showed that the fruits of Cudrania tricuspidata inhibited pancreatic lipase activity, a key enzyme in fat absorption. In this study, we investigated the chemical composition and pancreatic lipase inhibitory activity of unripe ...

The relationships of fruit age, abscisic acid (ABA) concentration, ethylene evolution, and abscission rates were studied in an effort to determine why cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L., cv. Deltapine 16) fruits rarely abscise more than 15 days after anthesis. Because abscission of cotton fruits is increased by conditions that limit photosynthesis, greenhouse-grown plants with fruits of various ages...

The type and content of organic acids in fruits are important factors that determine the traits, such as nutrition flavor fruits. Fruit weight size also very economic characters fruit breeding research. To investigate inheritance patterns longan, acid contents, weight, were measured distant hybridization progenies longan ‘Huanongzao’ lychee ‘Ziniangxi’. results revealed malic accumulation exhib...

The field experiment entitled “Influence of 3G cutting in Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) for growth, yield and fruit quality” was conducted during kharif 2022 at Horticulture Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (U.P). laid out Randomized Block Design with ten treatments including control which were replicated thrice. results revealed that...

The purpose of this project was to find out if the agent ethylene glycol, when diluted, can ripen various fruits faster than the regular ripening rate of the fruits, in colder climactic conditions. The materials for the experiment were basically fruits, containers, ethylene glycol and water. The ethylene, at first, was combined with the water. The fruits were placed in open containers and a set...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the vegetative and productive performance plantain (Musa spp.) genotypes Terra subgroup under environmental conditions Ribeira Valley in state São Paulo, Brazil. experimental design randomized complete blocks, with 12 four replicates. Two types were evaluated: six French type, using Maranhão cultivar as a reference; Horn D’Angola reference. t...

 In 2007 and 2008, the influence of pollen source on the shell and kernel traits of resulting seeds and on fruit set was examined to evaluate the potential for Xenia or Metaxenia in Persian walnut. Pistillate flowers of ‘Jamal’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Hartley’ and ‘Pedro’ were crossed with the pollen of ‘Serr’, ‘Z60’ and ‘Damavand’. The pistillate flowers on each female parent were covered about one week...
