Abstract Fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) have been widely studied in biosensing, imaging, information encryption, and optoelectronic devices due to excellent optical properties, such as photostability, tunable luminescence range, resistance photobleaching. In recent years, CDs explored for use agriculture. Based on their light harvest conversion capacity, well characteristics of easy synthesis lo...

Apple ( Malus × domestica ) growers can incur significant economic losses when fruit drop before they be harvested [preharvest (PFD)]. In some years and cultivars, more than 30% of potential yield lost. Growers frequently apply plant bioregulators to reduce PFD, either via delay in maturity [aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), 1-methylcycolpropene] or inhibition production cell hydrolysis enzymes th...

Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a fungal pathogen associated with perennial tropical fruit plants worldwide. In citrus, L. causes stem-end rot (Diplodia rot), damaging postharvest disease that aggravated when trees are also infected the citrus greening bacteria ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’. Due to latent infection of during preharvest stage, it becomes difficult control by chemical or physic...

Lahlali, R., Brostaux, Y., and Jijakli, M. H. 2011. Control of apple blue mold by the antagonistic yeast Pichia anomala strain K: Screening of UV protectants for preharvest application. Plant Dis. 95:311-316. When applied preharvest, antagonistic yeasts that act as biocontrol agents of postharvest fruit diseases must survive the environmental conditions in the field. In particular, UV-B radiati...

Susceptibility of apple fruit to physiological storage disorders is affected by both pre- and postharvest factors that influence their ethylene production. In this study, the inhibitor perception, 1-methycyclopropene (1-MCP), applied before after harvest, has been used investigate interactions between development in ‘Honeycrisp’ apples during storage. Preharvest 1-MCP (Harvista™) was trees, eit...
