Objective: To know the variables of reproductive component materials for manual cross-pollination purposes, which search sexual synchrony is emphasized. Design/methodology/approach: Four were analyzed, two with white pulp and red pulp, about it unknown if they present self-incompatibility, in flowering also unknown. The phase that can shed light on its behavior analyzed Results: It was found st...

Three genes encoding anthocyanidin reductase (ANR) in apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.), designated MdANR1, MdANR2a, and MdANR2b, have been cloned and characterized. MdANR1 shows 91% identity in coding DNA sequences with MdANR2a and MdANR2b, while MdANR2a and MdANR2b are allelic and share 99% nucleotide sequence identity in the coding region. MdANR1 and MdANR2 genes are located on linkage groups 1...

Red-fleshed kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis Planch. 'Hongyang') is a promising commercial cultivar due to its nutritious value and unique flesh color, derived from vitamin C and anthocyanins. In this study, we obtained transcriptome data of 'Hongyang' from seven developmental stages using Illumina sequencing. We mapped 39-54 million reads to the recently sequenced kiwifruit genome and other data...

The generation of agroindustrial waste has become a serious environmental problem, which conflicts with the need for sustainability sought by modern agriculture. An alternative that helps minimizing these effects is use residues, such as fruit peel, in food production. objective this study was to evaluate viability mesocarp white-fleshed red pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) preparation jellies, veri...

Insect pests are soft-bodied and tiny creatures with plant sap sucking habits that devastate various agricultural crops, fruit trees, ornamental plants several vegetables. To control these insect four IPM techniques were used in tomato field an aim to minimize the use of synthetic pesticides. Five colours sticky traps (yellow, green, blue, black red), different light trap (red, yellow, green wh...

Value We used the following juices, listed in roughly decreasing order of preference (associated colors in parenthesis): high-sugar lemon Kool-Aid (dark yellow), grape juice (bright green), fruit punch (magenta), apple juice (diluted to 1/2 with water, dark green), cranberry juice (diluted to 1/3 or 1/4 with water, pink), water (white), milk (red), peppermint tea (bright blue), tea (light brown...

Stoichiometric and kinetic values of phenolics against DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) were determined for Andean purple corn (Zea mays L.) and red sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas). Both crops had higher antioxidant capacity and antiradical kinetics than blueberries and higher or similar anthocyanin and phenolic contents. The second-order rate constant (k(2)) was 1.56, 1.12, 0.57, and 0.26 (m...
