Transcript profiling methods are increasingly used to understand the biological basis of growth and development, and fruit quality in the case of fruits. Such methods provide information for thousands of genes, including those of still unknown function. Furthermore, high-throughput methodologies can be used for comprehensive transcriptome analyses, which may lead to further elucidation of fruit...

In peach fruits, phenolic compounds serve as a major source of potential antioxidants which are known to play a significant role in fruit quality and in human wellbeing. This study was conducted in a F1 population derived from the cross ‘Venus’ x ‘Big Top’ nectarines in order to investigate the variability in the fruit antioxidant content and to study the genetic control and location of QTLs in...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of protected cultivation on earliness, yield, and fruit quality characteristics some lowchill peach-nectarine cultivars grown in eastern Mediterranean region Turkey. Phenological observations, yield parameters, were investigated. The chilling durations as CH (chilling hours), CU unit), heat accumulations determined. `Astoria? cultivar reached ...
