Rhizopus rot caused by Rhizopus stolonifer is a potentially serious postharvest 1 disease of Canadian-grown peaches. Several new fungicides are effective against brown rot 2 (Monilinia fructicola) of peaches, but little is known of their postharvest efficacies against R. 3 stolonifer. Harvested peaches were arranged in trays, individually punctured once and 4 co-treated with a suspension of bot...

How to distribute resource locators is a fundamental problem in PKI. Our PKI Resource Query Protocol (PRQP), recently presented at IETF, provides a standard method to query for PKI resources locators. However the distribution of locators across PKIs is still an unsolved problem. In this paper, we propose an extension to PRQP in order to distribute PRQP messages over a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network...

Peaches (Prunus persica cv. Hermoza) were stored at 0C in regular air (RA) or in controlled atmosphere (CA 10% CO2, 3% O2) for 4 weeks and then ripened for 4 days at 20 degrees C. Woolliness developed in the regular air stored fruit while the controlled atmosphere stored fruit ripened normally. In the woolly fruit symptoms of the disorder were greater in the inner mesocarp than in the outer. Po...

Peaches are one of the most popular fruits around globe. Selecting optimum harvesting maturity for peaches is crucial in assuring high-quality fruits. This study a model determining ideal harvest time robot harvester. Our was carried out over two years on ‘Mihong’ during days after full bloom (DAFB) 71 to 90 2021 and DAFB 64 84 2022 select optimal index through quality survey. The fruit size, s...

Woolliness is a physiological disorder of peaches and nectarines that becomes apparent when fruit are ripened after prolonged periods of cold storage. This disorder is of commercial importance since shipping of peaches to distant markets and storage before selling require low temperature. However, knowledge about the molecular basis of peach woolliness is still incomplete. To address this issue...

In the current study, the processing conditions required for the inactivation of Paenibacillus polymyxa and relevant spoilage microorganisms by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment on apricot, peach, and pear pieces in sucrose (22°Brix) solution were assessed. Accordingly, the shelf-life was determined by evaluating both the microbiological quality and the sensory characteristics (taste, o...

Peach softening is usually attributed to the dismantling of the cell wall in which endo-polygalacturonase (endo-PG)-catalysed depolymerization of pectins plays a central role. In this study, the hypothesis that the function of endo-PG is critical for achieving a melting flesh fruit texture but not for reducing fruit firmness was tested by comparing pericarp morphology and endo-PG expression and...
