Peaches (Prunus persica cv. Yanhong) were fumigated with carbon monoxide (CO) at 0, 0.5, 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L for 2 hours. The result showed that low concentration CO (0.5-10 μmol/L) might delay the decrease of firmness and titrable acid content, restrain the increase of decay incidence, and postpone the variation of soluble solids content, but treating peaches with high concentration CO (20 μm...

Small-sized peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch.) trees for commercial fruit production have not been available due to the lack of suitable dwarfing rootstocks that have a wide range of compatibility among cultivars. Effects of partial girdling and trunk heating on the growth, yield, and fruit quality of peach were studied. A 4 cm wide partial ring of bark was removed at a height of 25 cm from th...

the volatile constituents of the aerial parts of varthemia. persica dc. var. persica, growing wild in iran, were investigated by gc-ms. sixty seven constituents were identified. ?-cadinene (9.7%), selin-11-en-4-?-ol (5.30%), germacrene d (4.9%), bicyclogermacrene (4.7%), ??muurolene (4.7%), ?-eudesmol (4.52%), ?-himachalen oxide (3.6%), ?-eudesmol (3.54%), ?-bourbonene (3.21%) were found to be ...

Three types of phenolic acids (caffeic, ferulic, and chlorogenic acid) were identified quantified in two halophytic plants (Salicornia bigelovii Salicornia sinus-persica). Analysis was performed using a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) system via the standard addition method. The matrix effect (ME), recovery efficiency (RE), process (PE) parameters ev...
