Copper (Cu) is an essential metal for plants. However, its excess in soil can adversely affect plant metabolism. The current study evaluated the effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) foliar applications on performance pea plants grown either Cu-contaminated (Cu+) and non-contaminated (Cu−) soil. GA3 was sprayed (0, 10, 50, 100 mg·L−1) 15-days-old results showed that increasing concentration buffered phytotoxic Cu enhanced growth, photosynthesis, leaf chlorophyll content. Foliar-sprayed up to...
The importance of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) consumption has increased in recent years due to its significant amount anticarcinogenic and antioxidant compounds, as well many vitamins. However, florets are a highly perishable product which rapidly senesce turn yellow after harvest, resulting losses nutritional bioactive compounds. Thus, this study, we evaluated the effect postharvest exogenous salicylic acid (SA) calcium chloride (CaCl2) their combination on quality stored at 5...
<p>Black raspberries (<italic>Rubus</italic> sp.) are abundantly grown and distributed widely in temperate regions of Pakistan which shows rich plant diversity fruit species. In this study wildly black raspberry fruits were harvested from Rawalakot at three different maturity stages investigated for physical, biochemical antioxidant properties. Random samples wild each stage [turning (75% red, 25% green), full red (100% red), black)] stored room temperature (22 ± 2 ℃, 46%...
The effect of Aloe vera (ALV) coating was studied on chillies at 10 ± 1°C for 28 days. ALV gel-coated showed reduced weight loss, disease incidence, red chili percentage, respiration rate, electrolyte leakage, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide anion contents. maintained general acceptance in terms visual quality marketability index with higher chlorophyll contents, ascorbic acid total phenolic antioxidants. In addition, ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, dismutase, peroxidase activities were...
This study was conducted to analyze the effect of magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn) and boron (B) on level macronutrients (Na, Mg, K, Ca), micronutrients (Zn, B, Mo, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu), heavy metals (Cd, As, Hg, Pb) in loquat leaves fruit tissues (peel, pulp, seed) using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Fruits were obtained from a orchard located Fujian (Yun Xiao/Zhangzhou). The results revealed that foliar application Mg increased concentrations Ca, Zn, Cu leaves; Mn pulp;...
Fresh-cut foods have become highly popular as these commodities are convenient to manage with premium freshness and quality. However, the shelf life of fresh-cut potatoes is limited. The traditional practice consists a set operations including washing, peeling, slicing, chemical treatment, packing, storage. Besides, various or synthetic additives being applied tackle quality-related issues such browning, textural degradation, microbial spoilage, shelf-life stability. Nevertheless, demand for...
Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables refer to edible commodities that are free from large-scale typical traditional processing operations. However, maintaining their nutritional value microbiological integrity is challenging. The operations such as peeling, cutting, trimming done in the fresh-cut industry can trigger deteriorative reactions tissue softening enzymatic browning. As a countermeasure, cold plasma technology has emerged an innovation for minimal of several foods including produce....
Shape and size are important features of fruits. Studies using tomatoes expressing yeast Spermidine Synthase under either a constitutive or fruit-ripening promoter showed obovoid fruit phenotype compared to spherical in controls, suggesting that polyamines (PAs) have role shape. The pericarp exhibited decreased cell layers thickness wild-type fruit. Transgenic floral buds ovaries accumulated higher levels free PAs, with the bound form PAs being predominant. Transcripts shape genes, SUN1...
