Summary Strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ) is a fruit crop with distinct biphasic flavonoid biosynthesis. Whereas, in the immature receptacle, high levels of proanthocyanidins accumulate, which are associated herbivore deterrence and pathogen defense, prominent color‐giving anthocyanins primarily produced ripe ‘fruits’ helping to attract herbivores for seed dispersal. Here, constitutive experimental down‐regulation one branch proanthocyanidin biosynthesis was performed. As result, proportion...
We compared five new carrot cultivars with a conventional cultivar in consideration of their content carotenoids, phenolics and according antioxidative capacity. chose the following cultivars: orange, white, yellow, red, solid-coloured purple an orange core. Examinations were conducted over two cultivation periods (2003 2004). The yellow showed quite low contents but contained most phenolic compounds. red was only that lycopene. carotenoids varied slightly between years; α-carotene...
The soil-borne vascular pathogen Verticillium dahliae causes severe wilt symptoms in a wide range of plants including strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa). To enhance our understanding the effects V. on growth and development F. ananassa, expression patterns 21 PR-10 genes were investigated by qPCR analysis metabolite changes determined LC-MS vitro ananassa upon infection.The isoforms showed responses. Four highly induced leaves infection while eight members significantly up-regulated roots. A...
Summary Glycosyltransferases are nature's versatile tools to tailor the functionalities of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules by transferring sugars. Prominent substrates hydroxycoumarins such as scopoletin, which serve natural plant protection agents. Similarly, C13‐apocarotenoids, oxidative degradation products carotenoids/xanthophylls, protect plants repelling pests attracting pest predators. We show that C13‐apocarotenoids interact with glycosyltransferase NbUGT72AY1...
Abstract The essential oils of 14 species and hybrids, respectively, the genus Mentha were examined for their antioxidant capacity in ABTS (2,2′‐azinobis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid)) assay a lipid‐peroxidation (LPO) assay. .+ ‐scavenging pure essential‐oil components mixtures them was also tested. In both assays, Mentha×dumetorum (classification not fully confirmed), suaveolens , Mentha×villosa confirmed) showed highest capacity, which ascribed to germacrene D, piperitone oxide,...
This paper evaluates an intensive modification of the sweet pepper crop with respect to usage autonomous harvesting by a robot.Objectives were assess productivity plants after longterm training compared standard and use end-effectors instead manually harvesting.The performance two types was calculated marketable yield, which includes accessible fruits without physiological disorders like blossom-end rot sunscald.The experiment executed in greenhouse under commercial-like conditions.The yield...
