vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important impact on agricultural products' damage process, particularly in the case of fruits and vegetables. modulus of elasticity is one of the most conspicuous mechanical properties of fruits, the variation in which can be described as one of the most affecting damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted...

Fruit anatomy is extremely important in terms of taxonomic studies the Apiaceae family. The genus Caropodium, whose position family has been revealed by recent studies, represented 5 taxa Türkiye. endemism rate was recorded as 60 %. In this study, fruit examined detail with sections taken from samples belonging to and evaluated both qualitative quantitative characteristics. general anatomical f...

Suc synthase (EC 2. 4. 1. 13) catalyzes the reversible reaction: Suc + UDP c-, UDP-Glc + Fru. In plants, its main physiological function is to cleave Suc and generate UDPGlc, which is used in such diverse pathways as starch synthesis, cell wall component synthesis, and energy generation (Huber and Akazawa, 1986; Sung et al., 1988). It has been demonstrated that Suc synthase is a key enzyme duri...

A newly recorded family, Phrymaceae, and species, Phryma leptostachya L., from Taiwan are described and illustrated. Phryma leptostachya was found near Chienshih Hsiang, in Hsinchu Hsien. The flowers of Phryma have unusually long hooked tips on the calyx and single-seeded fruit enclosed by the persistent calyx, which accounts for its isolated taxonomic position and recognition as an independent...

Internal flesh breakdown (IFB), a serious physiological disorder of mango fruit, causes significant economic losses in Southwest China. We investigated the extent IFB 100 orchards and how changes mineral nutrients fruit flesh, leaves soil affect IFB. found that 76% showed symptoms, average incidence was 10%. Fruit with higher contents N, P, K Mg, lower Ca content ratios N/Ca, K/Ca Mg/Ca. The fr...

With its four species, Anchusa is one of the weedy genera of Boraginaceae in Iran. Its species are distributed in different habitats. In this study, the fruit morphological and micro-morphological features of the Anchusa taxa have been considered, so as to evaluate their diagnostic value. Eight qualitative and quantitative fruit features from 12 accessions of A. italica, A. strigosa, A. arvensi...
