The biosynthesis of anthocyanin in many plants is affected by environmental conditions. In apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.), concentrations fruit anthocyanins are lower under hot climatic We examined the accumulation peel maturing 'Mondial Gala' and 'Royal apples, grown both temperate climates, using artificial heating on-tree fruit. Heat caused a dramatic reduction concentration transcripts genes biosynthetic pathway. Heating rapidly reduced expression R2R3 MYB transcription factor (MYB10)...
This study is an exhaustive chemical characterization of the phenolic compounds, triterpenes, and organic ascorbic acids in red-fleshed apple varieties obtained by different breeding programs using five traditional new white-fleshed cultivars as reference. To carry out these analyses, solid–liquid extraction (SLE) ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) were used. The results showed that apples contained, either flesh or peel, higher amounts...
Antioxidant capacity, quality, and anthocyanin nutrient contents of 106 peach cultivars from different breeding programs were evaluated at the Estació Experimental de Lleida, IRTA (Catalonia, Spain), during two growing seasons (2010 2011). High variability was found among within each quality trait, where scored as best worst. For example, a 5-fold range (2.17-12.07 g malic acid L⁻¹), 6-fold (144.20-711.73 μg Trolox g⁻¹ FW), 11-fold (0.70-11.43 mg cyanidin-3-glucoside kg⁻¹ FW) observed in...
By 2022, the total area of super high-density (SHD) almond orchards worldwide had spread to 14,622 ha. As well as factors such spacing, and tree architecture, proper row orientation should ensure a more efficient sun exposure, yield harvesting. This research was conducted in an irrigated SHD orchard cv. Lauranne® Avijor Andria, Italy, 2021 2022 (at 4th 5th year from planting, respectively) gain deeper understanding on effects two orientations available Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR),...
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in join IRTA-PFR programme validate its use sensory assessments fruit pear genotypes during selection process. A F1 population 80 seedlings from this was used. Descriptors and standard references used for evaluations attributes were previously defined by four members panel. General Procrustes Analysis (GPA) applied analyse...
The effects of covering the orchard floor with Extenday™ or Solarmate™ reflective films on fruit color, quality, canopy light distribution, temperature, and profitability ‘Mondial Gala’ apples ( Malus × domestica ) were evaluated over a 3-year period (2000–02) at Lleida (northeastern Spain). Reflective film was laid down 5 weeks before commercial harvest. Photosynthetically active radiation in lowest part tree (1 m aboveground level) increased by 34% 56%, for films, respectively, compared...
