Apple fruit cv. Golden Delicious symptoms of rot were collected from storage in the area Eğirdir district Isparta province, Turkey. Based on morphology and phylogeny DNA sequence data for internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA region, isolated pathogen was identified as Diplodia bulgarica. This is first description D. bulgarica causing postharvest Malus domestica Turkey worldwide.

Field A: Source planting of all transgenic apple plants expressing sense/antisense S6PDH. This planting was already in existence at the start of this project and contains all of the source materials of different transgenic clones planted in a randomized design on their own roots at a 15x15 ft spacing. The plot contains 354 apple trees of which 53 are control trees of the golden delicious apple ...

The Golden Delicious apple shelf-life prediction model based on electronic nose was built by partial least squares regressions (PLSR). Sensory quality, such as, weight loss, texture, color changes and were studied. correlation between the sensors sensory quality of apples analyzed to select appropriate for construction model. results building PLSR showed that R2 training set 0.86, RMSEC 3.94. r...

A method based on colour information is proposed to detect defects on ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. In a first step, a colour model based on the variability of the normal colour is described. To segment the defects, each pixel of an apple image is compared with the model. If it matches the pixel, it is considered as belonging to healthy tissue, otherwise as a defect. Two other steps refine the seg...
