A melon ( Cucumis melo L.) genomic library of near-isogenic lines derived from the cross between Spanish cultivar Piel de Sapo and exotic accession PI 161375 has been evaluated for fruit quality traits in four different locations. Traits were weight, soluble solids content, maximum diameter, length, shape index, ovary external color, flesh color. Among these traits, content showed highest genotype × environment interaction, whereas interactions weight low. Heritability was high all except...
A collection of melon ( Cucumis melo L.) near-isogenic lines (NILs) derived from the cross between Spanish C. cultivar Piel de Sapo (PS) and exotic Korean accession Shongwan Charmi [SC (PI161375)], was used to study genetic control a large number fruit quality traits, including morphological, external appearance, texture, flavor, overall differences NILs PS that might be detected by consumers with triangle test. Heritability significant for all being >0.5 whole area longitudinal section...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Cherry tomato fruits cv. Micro‐Tom, a model plant for genetics, were analysed in order to determine the main structural and chemical changes under optimal chilling storage conditions. The comparison of Micro‐Tom standard cultivars will give an insight into suitability this dwarf cultivar as studying influence low‐temperature conditions on fruits. RESULTS: During chilling, fruit tissue was progressively destroyed due collapse deep layers pericarp. Chilling lowered typical...
Aroma profile and carotenoids content of melon flesh are two important aspects influencing the quality this fruit that have been characterized using only selected genotypes. However, extant variability whole species remains unknown.A complete view volatile/carotenoid profiles was obtained analyzing 71 accessions, representing diversity species. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry high-performance liquid chromatography were used to analyze 200 volatile compounds five carotenoids. Genotypes...
Melon aroma volatiles were extracted at harvest from juice of a climacteric near-isogenic line (NIL) SC3-5-1 with two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) introgressed which produced behaviour and its non-climacteric parental (PS) using methodologies analysis: static headspace solid phase micro-extraction (HS-SPME) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) inside needle dynamic extraction (INDEX) MS-based electronic nose (MS-E-nose).Of the 137 compounds identified, most found significantly...
ABSTRACT Pectin enzyme evolution in peaches intermittently warmed at 15°C (15°C‐IW) and 20°C (20°C‐IW) for 24 hr every 8 days of storage 0°C, was followed. Cold increased PME activity until a constant level reached, whereas PG decreased after 2 wk. 15°C‐IW had similar effect to conventional cold storage. 20°C‐IW induced different behavior, increasing decreasing wk This behavior seemed be related the development chilling injury, since did not alleviate injury but did. Chilling during...
Orange-fleshed cantaloupe melons have intense aroma and flavor but are very perishable during storage life. Fresh-cut processing enhances ethylene-mediated quality losses. Post-cutting 1-methylcyclopene (1-MCP) application to fresh-cut was evaluated for its effects on attributes, phytochemical content volatiles.Fresh-cut (Cucumis melo var. cantalupensis 'Fiesta') cubes treated with 1.0 µL L(-1) of 1-MCP 24 h at 5 °C, packaged in vented plastic clamshells stored under normal atmosphere °C 9...
We characterized differences in cell wall material and polysaccharide structures, due to the quantitative trait loci associated with higher flesh firmness a nonclimacteric near-isogenic line (NIL) SC7-2, climacteric behavior of NIL SC3-5-1, using their inbred parentals, "Piel de Sapo" (PS) PI 161375 (SC). PS was firmer had ripening index greater hemicellulosic content than SC, its lower yield, uronic acid, neutral sugar, cellulose free sugar pectic content. SC3-5-1 showed acid values,...
"La Niora" is a red pepper variety cultivated in Tadla Region (Morocco) which used for manufacturing paprika after sun drying. The quality (nutritional, chemical and microbiological) was evaluated immediately milling, from September to December. Sampling time mainly affected color the total capsaicinoid vitamin C contents. commercial acceptable no aflatoxins were found, but microbial load sometimes exceeded permitted levels.
`Cortland' and `Law Rome' apples [ Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.] were either nontreated or treated with the inhibitor of superficial scald development, DPA, exposed to air CO 2 (40 45 kPa) in at °C for up 12 days. Fruit kPa sampled during treatment, peel flesh samples taken fermentation product organic acid analyses. After fruit stored 6 months 0.5 evaluation disorder incidence. most susceptible external injury internal injury. DPA treatment markedly reduced...
Melon ( Cucumis melo L.) is a perishable fruit that requires refrigeration to extend its shelf life. Postharvest behavior differs substantially among melon varieties due genetic differences. In this work, we use collection of near-isogenic lines (NILs) derived from cross between the Spanish cultivar Piel de Sapo (PS) and an exotic Korean accession ‘Shongwan Charmi’ [SC (PI161375)], each them with single introgressed region SC into PS background, detect map quantitative trait loci (QTLs)...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Skin color, acid content and changes in other chemical components have been developed as indicators of maturation fruits the Capsicum type. RESULTS: Fruit growth ripening four hot pepper accessions (CS) from C. frutescens (CS376) annuum (CS219, CS049 CS032) were monitored three commercial Colombian Amazonic orchards. The time between fruit setting maturity was 41 ± 5 days for CS219, while CS032, CS376 required 47 3 days. Three stages development identified. first stage...
