A generic descriptive analysis using 11 judges provided 16 sensory attributes that described the aroma, flavor, and texture characteristics of 7 nectarine and peach cultivars selected for their predominant sensory attributes. Simultaneously, the "in-store" acceptability of these cultivars was evaluated by 120 consumers from northern California. The relationships among instrumental measurements ...

Cultivar segregation according to the sensory perception of their organoleptic characteristics was attempted by using trained panel data evaluated by principal component analysis of four sources per cultivar of 23 peach and 26 nectarine cultivars as a part of our program to d a p c p o 9 a ( n t b t p ©

In Romania, Prunus species have great economic and social importance. With the introduction of new cultivars arises need to preserve characterize local germplasm. Thus, a set 24 polymorphic SSRs were selected for overall characterization, including 10 peach, 11 apricot 5 nectarine cultivars. The average number alleles per locus (Na = 1.958), in addition observed (Ho 0.299) expected heterozygosi...

China is an important centre of diversity for Prunus persica. In the present study, 17 Chinese peach cultivars were evaluated for phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Neochlorogenic acid (NCHA), chlorogenic acid (CHA), procyanidin B1 (B1), catechin (CAT), cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), quercetin-3-O-galactoside (Q3GAL), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (Q3GLU), quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (Q3R), and k...

objective: economic analysis was performed for the main horticultural crops in buin zahra (pistachio, peach, nectarine, and apple). there were dependent and independent variables in this research. methods: the independent variables were planting method (mechanized and conventional), land area used for fruit production, and land ownership. the maximum energy used, mostly in the form of fossil fu...

Trials were established at Aula Dei Experimental Station (EEAD-CSIC, Zaragoza, Spain) to assess graft compatibility between peach cultivars [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] and new Prunus spp. rootstocks or selections. Peach cvs. Catherina and Tebana and nectarine cvs. Big Top and Summergrand were grafted on peach seedlings, plum rootstocks, almond x peach hybrids, and other interspecific rootstock...

We report here the first complete genome sequence of a South Korean isolate of Nectarine stem pitting-associated virus (NSPaV) from peach and compare it with previously described complete NSPaV genome sequences. The highest whole-genome nucleotide sequence identity was 95.3% with GenBank accession no. KT273409 (NSPaV) from the United States.

Oxytetracycline: source and mechanisms of resistance. Oxytetracycline (Terramycin) is a naturally produced tetracycline antibiotic of Streptomyces rimosus, with a spectrum of activity similar to chlortetracycline and tetracycline and remarkable thermostability (16). In plant agriculture, oxytetracycline is used in the USA primarily on pear and apple for fire blight management. Oxytetracycline i...

The continuous release of new nectarine [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] cultivars by breeders from around the world, together with consistent improvements in orchard management strategies growers, commercial interest production fruit fresh consumption, and introduction Spanish scion breeding programs have positioned Spain as preeminent worldwide exporter currently largest European producer [Minist...
