Lettuce is a highly perishable horticultural crop with relatively short shelf-life that limits its commercial value and contributes to food waste. Postharvest senescence varies influences of both environmental genetic factors. From larger pool romaine lettuce genotypes, we identified three genotypes variable shelf lives evaluated their leaf morphology characteristics transcriptomic profiles at preharvest predict postharvest quality. Breeding line 60184 had the shortest (SSL), cultivar...
Like fungi and some prokaryotes, plants use a thiazole synthase (THI4) to make the precursor of thiamin. Fungal THI4s are suicide enzymes that destroy an essential active-site Cys residue obtain sulfur atom needed for formation. In contrast, certain prokaryotic have no Cys, sulfide as donor, truly catalytic. The presence conserved in plant other indirect evidence implies they suicidal. To confirm this, we complemented Arabidopsistz-1 mutant, which lacks THI4 activity, with His-tagged...
Abstract A universal lexicon to describe the appearance, aroma/flavors, and textures/feeling factors of peaches was developed. The objective provide a standardized for descriptive validation. trained panel established 29 attributes using 51 peach cultivars grown throughout production season. This includes 18 aroma flavor mature as well under‐ripe over‐ripe, redness flesh three feeling factors, seven terms describing textures. Principal component analysis used discern if differences were...
Peach production in Georgia, USA, extends from mid-May to mid-August. Multiple cultivars are commercially grown the U.S., and each cultivar has unique fruit quality characteristics, which could influence consumer perception acceptability. Among those, peach flavor been minimally characterized among cultivars. Headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS–SPME) combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was used characterize volatile profile of 42 2016. The goal this research...
Peach ( Prunus persica ) production in the southeastern United States extends from mid-May to mid-September. There are ≈60 peach cultivars commercially grown. Each cultivar has unique fruit quality characteristics, which could influence consumer perception and likability. The present study is a survey of chemical physical characteristics mature, grown, fresh peaches Georgia. A collection 30 was evaluated 2015 2016 for soluble solids concentration (SSC), total titratable acidity (TTA),...
Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.) is grown worldwide, from temperate to subtropical climates. Spring season production in humid, regions, such as southern Florida, characterized by rising ambient temperatures that can stress lettuce prematurely bolt and lose shelf life. The objectives of this research were 1) identify genetic variability heat tolerance life among types accessions under conditions, 2) understand the genotype × environment (G E) interaction estimate these accessions. Five (romaine,...
The postharvest life of lettuce ( Lactuca sativa ) is variable and negatively affected by mechanical injury, incomplete cooling, poor genetic quality. Lettuce breeders are developing cultivars with a longer shelf rely on subjective, destructive, time-consuming methods for quality analysis. One method accelerating evaluations known as accelerated shelf-life testing (ASLT), which has the potential to assist in assessing life. objective this research was determine traits that significantly...
Pink rib discoloration or pinking in the midribs of lettuce ( Lactuca sativa ) leaves is a stress-induced disorder that leads to crop loss worldwide. Maintaining recommended field and postharvest conditions reduces its incidence but does not eliminate issue. During past decade, research has identified tolerance this among types cultivars grown cooler climates. However, pink humid subtropical climates unknown; therefore, it necessary screen germplasm under these growing conditions. study,...
