Apple is widely cultivated in temperate regions. The beneficial properties of apple for preventing several illnesses are known. Nevertheless, qualitative variables such as sweetness or sourness may influence consumer satisfaction; they critical factors fruit consumption and essential plant breeding. In the present work, 155 accessions were assessed during five consecutive years (2014–2018). Four individual sugars seven organic acids analysed by HPLC. A mixed-effects model was fitted with...

Abstract BACKGROUND To identify genotypes with good organoleptic properties, antioxidant‐rich content and low susceptibility to chilling injury ( CI ), fruits from 130 peach cultivars were studied over three consecutive years. Pomological traits, l ‐ascorbic acid, flavonoids, total phenolics, relative antioxidant capacity RAC ) sugars determined. Major symptoms of developed at 5 °C, such as leatheriness, flesh browning, bleeding loss flavor, evaluated. RESULTS The population exhibited wide...

Grafting is an ancient plant propagation technique widely used in horticultural crops, particularly fruit trees. However, the involvement of two different species grafting may lead to lack affinity and severe disorders between graft components, known as graft-incompatibility. This complex agronomic trait traditionally classified into categories: “localized” (weak unions with breaks cambial vascular continuity at interface absence visual symptoms scion leaves shoots) “translocated”...

A basic knowledge of linkage disequilibrium and population structure is necessary in order to determine the genetic control identify significant associations with agronomical phytochemical compounds apple (Malus × domestica Borkh). In this study, 186 accessions (Pop1), representing both Spanish native (94) non-Spanish cultivars (92) from EEAD-CSIC core collection, were assessed using 23 SSRs markers. Four populations considered: Pop1, Pop2, Pop3, Pop4. The initial Pop1 was divided into 150...

A study was carried out to evaluate the analytical capabilities of coupling chemical bromide generation with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry for determination selenium in both oxidation states, VI and IV. The method is based on two volatiles selenium(VI) (IV) by reaction ions sulfuric acid media a discontinuous mode transport gaseous phase torch. After evaluation main interactive effects experimental variables design three most influential were optimized each modified...

The ascorbic acid content was determined in 25 different diet supplements commercially available to the consumer two pharmaceutical forms (pills and ampoules). These products are widely consumed by several population groups (elderly people, sportsmen, adolescents, children, etc.). High-performance liquid chromatography used as analytical technique. proposed method has been validated with good linearity, reproducibility, recovery accuracy, can be routine analyses quality control. pills ranged...

The purpose of this study is to observe and measure the behaviour a fruit forest tree borer, isolated in an adult poplar plantation. Along growing period pyrethroid carbamic derivate insecticides were employed, looking for less harmgull effect on environment. A plot australian poplar, Populus deltoides cv. 'I:125/68', infested with was selected essay. sequence spray rotation during three years next: cypermethrin, cypermethrin carbaryl; carbaryl, carbaryl cypermethrin; control, control first,...

Peaches and nectarines have a short shelf life even when harvested at appropriate physiological maturity. Market is increased by storage low temperatures. However, chilling injury symptoms can appear, causing disorders limiting shipping potential. The rootstock effect on the post-harvest quality has hardly been explored. Thus, principal aim of this work was to study influence seven different

Peaches and nectarines are climacteric fruits with a relatively short storage potential due to rapid ripening deterioration.Cold is effective in extending shelf-life, preserving fruit quality properties; however, it can lead the development of disorder known as chilling injury (CI), perceived when reaches consumer.In present work, 51 local Spanish 57 non-Spanish cultivars from peach germplasm collection established at Experimental Station Aula Dei (Zaragoza, Spain) were evaluated after 5°C...

Abstract Resumen Resumo One of the components presents in oak wood is gallic acid, which brandies extract during their aging process. In this study, a HPLC technique for separation and identification acid by direct injection, has been performed. Studies, tested accuracy method, showed 99.59% recovery percentage acid. This applied to analysis commercial brandies, thus revealing existing differences concentration according system followed: Static or traditional dynamic criaderas soleras. El...

This study was carried out to determine some pomological and biochemical properties of two Turkish local almond cultivars ('Gölbasi I' 'Gölbasi II'), compared with four commercial ones ('Ferragnès', 'Ferraduel', 'Nonpareil' 'Yaltinskij') different origins grown in the Anatolia region Turkey.The kernels were used proteins, total oil, fatty acids, sugar profile, macro micro mineral elements.The highest protein content found on 'Ferragnès', followed by 'Ferraduel'.It intermediate II'...

This preliminary work was carried out in order to found alternative insecticides control the wood borer that damages plantations of poplars Delta Parana River during 2 years. The following treatments were applied by direct spray trunks: chlorpyrifos (127,5 cm3 a.i./hl, EC), lambdacyhalothrin (1,67 phenthoate (150 carbaryl (425 gr WP), cypermethrin (5 EC) and without insecticides. Effectiveness calculated applying formula Sun-Shepard data subjected ANOVA Tukey test. Lambdacyhalothrin,...

The influence of nine different Prunus rootstocks budded with the 'Big Top' nectarine cultivar was evaluated in a rootstock trial established at Experimental Station Aula Dei (Zaragoza, Spain).Chilling injury (CI) symptoms as browning, mealiness, leatheriness and bleeding were determined after 28 days cold storage 5°C plus 2 shelf-life.Agronomical basic fruit quality traits firmness, soluble solids content (SSC) titratable acidity (TA) harvest, shelf-life.In addition, biochemical compounds...
