In this study, the effects of green tea incorporated edible coating (EC) on postharvest quality strawberries were evaluated. EC was prepared by solubilizing carboxymethyl cellulose (0.75 % w/v), glycerol (2% v/v), and concentrate (14% v/v) in distilled water at 80°C. Coated packed perforated polyethylene terephthalate boxes (10 fruits per box) kept refrigerated conditions (6±1°C). Uncoated used...

BACKGROUND The DefH9-iaaM gene fusion which is expressed specifically in placenta/ovules and promotes auxin-synthesis confers parthenocarpic fruit development to eggplant, tomato and tobacco. Transgenic DefH9-iaaM eggplants and tomatoes show increased fruit production due mainly to an improved fruit set. However, the weight of the fruits is also frequently increased. RESULTS DefH9-iaaM strawb...

The fruit of the strawberry Fragaria×ananassa has traditionally been classified as non-climacteric because its ripening process is not governed by ethylene. However, previous studies have reported the timely endogenous production of minor amounts of ethylene by the fruit as well as the differential expression of genes of the ethylene synthesis, reception, and signalling pathways during fruit de...

The present investigation the effect of different levels carbon dioxide concentration on qualitative traits strawberry during storage was studied. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) were stored at ambient temperature for 5 days and controlled 5oC 14 in eight atmospheres: air, 5% CO2, 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% CO2. Changes several parameters evaluated. Atmosphere with high most effective preventing ...

Cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) is a genetically complex allo-octoploid crop with 28 pairs of chromosomes (2n = 8x = 56) for which a genome sequence is not yet available. The diploid Fragaria vesca is considered the donor species of one of the octoploid sub-genomes and its available genome sequence can be used as a reference for genomic studies. A wide number of strawberry cultivars...
