The sequence of events which occurs during the ripening of the Passe-Crassane pear fruit have been previously studied. In this work, we have investigated the ripening of another climacteric fruit (Pyrus malus L. cv Golden Delicious) and of a nonclimacteric fruit (Prunus avium L. cv Bigarreau Napoléon). We show that both climacteric fruits exhibit the same preclimacteric sequence of events. Diff...

Abstract The paper presents un study regarding the comparative total antioxidant capacity of some fluids extracts soluble lipid compounds Cerasus avium (L.) Moench. syn. Prunus var. sylvestris Ser fruits, popular named wild cherry, species undertaken aiming at exploiting nutrient profiles and promoting further development these indigen phytopharmaceutical resources. For analysis, photo-chemilum...

This study aimed to identify fungal species associated with trunk diseases of sweet cherries (Prunus avium) in several commercial cherry orchards Beijing, Guizhou and Shandong provinces, China. In total, eighteen strains that fitted well into the concept Diaporthe were isolated. Based on both morphological multi-locus phylogenetic analyses internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), beta-tubulin ...

The effects of preharvest calcium chloride (CaCl2) treatment on some quality characteristics and bioactive compounds sweet cherry fruit (Prunus avium L. cvs. 0900 Ziraat, Sweetheart Merton Late) were investigated. CaCl2 (1%) solution was sprayed to the trees at 21 35 days after full bloom stage. served as control treated with distilled water same days. remarkably suppressed respiration rate inc...

Methylglyoxal (MGO) is recognized as being the bioactive component responsible for antibacterial activity of m?nuka honey. MGO content was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC-UV), in isocratic elution, to assess occurrence this compound mono- and multi-floral honey samples representative different botanical geographic origins Italy. Specifically, 110 from sweet cherry t...

A partial linkage map was constructed for the sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivar Emperor Francis from a population of 56 microspore-derived callus culture individuals. The callus cultures were genotyped for two allozymes and 90 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers using 79 random decanucleotide DNA primers and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Eighty-nine markers mapped to 10...
