Fruit and vegetables have many similarities with respect to their compositions, methods of cultivation and harvesting, storage properties and processing.In reference to fruits and vegetables, the characteristics that impart distinctive... more
Capsicum species commonly known as Chilli pepper is one of the world's most important vegetable and spice crop. India is the world's largest producer, consumer and exporter of chilli pepper. Despite comprising 38 species, only six species... more
In the present work, the effect of assisted fertilization on anatomical, morphological and gene expression changes occurring in carpels and during early stages of berry development in Vitis vinifera were studied. Inflorescences were... more
Plant MADS-box genes encode transcriptional regulators that are critical for a number of developmental processes, such as the establishment of floral organ identity, flowering time, and fruit development. It appears that the MADS-box gene... more
Background Field observations and a few physiological studies have demonstrated that peach embryogenesis and fruit development are tightly coupled. In fact, attempts to stimulate parthenocarpic fruit development by means of external tools... more
Background In the past few years, functional genomics information has been rapidly accumulating on Rubiaceae species and especially on those belonging to the Coffea genus (coffee trees). An increasing number of expressed sequence tag... more
Sugar content, aroma and texture are key quality traits that influence consumer preference of many fruits and vegetables such as muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. (Reticulatus Group)). These quality traits are directly related to potassium... more
Changes in soluble sugar and starch reserves in avocado (Persea americana Mill. on `Duke 7' rootstock) fruit were followed during growth and development and during low temperature storage and ripening. During the period of rapid fruit... more
Fruitlet abscission during fruit development is due to the activation ofpre-differentiated abscission zones (AZs) located between twig andpedicel, and/or pedicel and pericarp. Major advances on biochemicaland molecular aspects are related... more
The class of cell wall polysaccharides that undergoes the most extensive modification during tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit ripening is pectin. De-esterification of the polygalacturonic acid backbone by pectin methylesterase... more
• Plant hormones are considered to be important mediators of the fruit developmental signal after pollination. The role of phytohormones in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit set was investigated here.• Transcriptome analysis of ovaries... more
By the use of two distinct algorithms, implemented by geNorm and NormFinder, we have assessed the gene expression of nine candidate reference genes in cotton: GhACT4, GhEF1α5, GhFBX6, GhPP2A1, GhMZA, GhPTB, GhGAPC2, GhβTUB3 and GhUBQ14.... more
Muskmelon [Cucumis melo L. (Reticulatus Group)] fruit sugar content is directly related to potassium (K)-mediated phloem transport of sucrose into the fruit. However, during fruit growth and maturation, soil fertilization alone is often... more
Field experiments were conducted in 2005 on orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, var. Thomson in two different sites, Sbikha and Sidi Bouali, in Tunisia to assess the effectiveness of kaolin, spinosad and malathion against the... more
