We investigated how salicylic acid (SA) enhances H2O2 and the relative significance of SA-enhanced in Arabidopsis thaliana. SA treatments enhanced production, lipid peroxidation, oxidative damage to proteins, resulted formation chlorophyll carotene isomers. levels were related increased activities Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase independent changes catalase ascorbate peroxidase activities. Prolonging inactivated phytotoxic symptoms, suggesting that inactivation H2O2-degrading enzymes serves as an...
Strawberries contain high levels of antioxidants, which have been correlated with a decreased risk chronic disease. To more fully characterize the antioxidant profiles and possible associated health benefits this fruit, total free bound phenolic, flavonoid, anthocyanin contents eight strawberry cultivars (Earliglow, Annapolis, Evangeline, Allstar, Sable, Sparkle, Jewel, Mesabi) were measured. Cultivar effects on phenolic compared capacities, as measured by oxyradical scavenging capacity...
Abstract The softening of fleshy fruits, such as tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), during ripening is generally reported to result principally from disassembly the primary cell wall and middle lamella. However, unsuccessful attempts prolong fruit firmness by suppressing expression a range wall-modifying proteins in transgenic fruits do not support simple model. ‘Delayed Fruit Deterioration’ (DFD) previously unreported cultivar that provides unique opportunity assess contribution metabolism...
Postharvest technologies have allowed horticultural industries to meet the global demands of local and large-scale production intercontinental distribution fresh produce that high nutritional sensory quality. Harvested products are metabolically active, undergoing ripening senescence processes must be controlled prolong postharvest Inadequate management these can result in major losses quality attributes, outbreaks foodborne pathogens financial loss for all players along supply chain, from...
This paper identifies considerations for transitioning from a federated avionics architecture to an integrated modular (IMA) architecture. Federated architectures make use of distributed functions that are packaged as self-contained units (LRUs and LRMs). IMA employ high-integrity, partitioned environment hosts multiple different criticalities on shared computing platform. provides weight power savings since resources can be used more efficiently. establishes the benefits IMA. To aid in...
The inhibitor of ethylene perception, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), is the basis a new technology that increasingly being used to improve storage potential and maintain quality fruit vegetables. 1-MCP registered for use on number crops, including apple, apricot, avocado, banana, broccoli, kiwifruit, pear, mango, melon, peach, nectarine, persimmon, plum, tomato. crop often specific country. effects these as well its physiological disorders pathological diseases, are reviewed. Most available...
Arabidopsis has been used as a model system to study many aspects of plant growth and development. However, fruit senescence in less investigated the underlying molecular hormonal (especially ethylene) regulatory mechanisms are not well understood. It is reported here that silique characteristics climacteric fruit, AtNAP, NAC family transcription factor gene whose expression increased with progression senescence, plays an important role its senescence. Silique was delayed for 4–5 d atnap...
Postharvest ripening of apple (Malus x domestica) can be slowed down by low temperatures, and a combination O2 high CO2 levels. While this maintains the quality most fruit, occasionally storage disorders such as flesh browning occur. This study aimed to explore changes in transcriptome associated with disorder related controlled atmosphere using RNA-sequencing techniques. Samples from browning-susceptible cultivar ('Braeburn') were stored for four months under atmosphere. Based on visual...
Abstract 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is an inhibitor of ethylene perception that widely used to maintain the quality several climacteric fruits during storage. A large body literature now exists on effects 1-MCP fruit ripening for different species and environmental conditions, presenting opportunity use meta-analysis systematically dissect these effects. We classified 44 indicators into five categories: physiology biochemistry, quality, enzyme activity, color, volatiles. Meta-analysis...
The tolerances of horticultural commodities to CO 2 are outlined, as also the associated biochemical and physiological aspects differences in tolerance between within commodity types. These related responses use modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) during storage. Commodities vary widely their elevated , low gas limits its maintain quality some cases. Standard recommendations generally those established extend storage period any given long possible, safe atmospheres may differ substantially...
To examine the hypothesis that superficial scald of apple (Malus domestics Borkh.) is a chilling injury, `Granny Smith' apples were stored at temperatures ranging from 0 to 20C, temperature-conditioned before storage, and warmed during storage. Fruit or 4C developed supeficial scald. At 10C, surface defects occurred but they not typical symptoms scald, 15 20C no developed. Accumulation α-1 faroesene conjugated trienes in fruit peel correlated with increasing ethylene production, which was...
Rapid expansion of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for horticultural produce has occurred during the last 10 years, especially fresh cut (minimally processed) products, but limitations to further reside in both responses products and available technology. We introduce workshop on Modified Atmosphere Packaging—Toward 2000 Beyond by reviewing current status MAP technology minimally processed highlighting research needs future advances, providing a list selected references published since 1989.
Nectarine fruit (Prunus persica L. Batsch var nectarina [Ait] maxim) cultivar Fantasia were either ripened immediately after harvest at 20°C or stored for 5 weeks 2°C prior to ripening. Fruit of storage did not soften the same extent as normally fruit, they lacked juice, and had a dry, mealy texture. Pectic hemicellulosic polysaccharides solubilized from mesocarp using phenol:acetic acid:water (PAW) treatment yield PAW-soluble material cell wall (CWM). The carbohydrate composition relative...
