Study of pollen germination in pome fruit tree of Rosaceae family in vitro
Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia ficus indica), is a Cactaceae plant with a great economic relevance in the world. Nowadays, nopal cactus industry is active and rapidly expanding.In fact, the seeds oil sector is the best exploitation due to... more
The effects of gamma irradiation on lesion diameters of grey mold disease of pear and some physico-chemical parameters of pear fruits were studied in this investigation as a prestorage treatment for extend shelf life of pear fruits. Pear... more
Pear fire blight bacterial disease caused by Erwinia amylovora as biotic stress is one of the most serious diseases that cause great loss of pear crop in Egypt and over world. E. amylovora pathogen was isolated from pear infected plants... more
The present study aimed at investigating the lactic fermentation of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) fruit juice with the autochthonous and potentially probiotic strain Lactobacillus plantarum S-811.
Pear as a fruit species has a special place because of its quality characteristic. The fact that about 20,000 pear seedlings are considered to be sold annually in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are autochthonous or spontaneously expanded... more
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of associated consortium fungal species on the natural fermentation of the mesocarp of Pyrus communis (Pear). The combined role played by the fungi (moulds and yeasts) involve in the natural... more
ABSTRACT This research was conducted to evaluate and compare responses to Erwinia amylovora infection by two host species, apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) and pear (Pyrus communis L.), activated by salicylic acid (SA). Apple rootstocks,... more
The storage life of ‘Alexander Lucas’ pear is limited by the occurrence of internal storage disorders during controlled atmosphere (CA). 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can be used to delay pear ripening, however, its interaction with CA... more
A new spontaneous mutation of the pear variety Dr. Jules Guyot, named `IGE 2002', was selected from a pear growing area in Catalonia. The clone was established in vitro from a 40-year-old tree, a highly recalcitrant material unable to... more
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of associated consortium fungal species on the natural fermentation of the mesocarp of Pyrus communis (Pear). The combined role played by the fungi (moulds and yeasts) involve in the natural... more
Productivity of irrigated prickly pear cactus [Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Miller] was studied over 3 years in central Chile using two planting densities. A low-density planting (0.25 plants/m2), traditionally favored for fruit production,... more
Epigenetic regulation is crucial to ensure a coordinated control of the different events that occur during fruit development and ripening. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases involved in the regulation of gene expression of... more
The storage life of ‘Alexander Lucas’ pear is limited by the occurrence of internal storage disorders during controlled atmosphere (CA). 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can be used to delay pear ripening, however, its interaction with CA... more
Over the past decade, hyperspectral imaging has been an exciting technology used in many practical fields. In agriculture, hyperspectral imaging is implemented in controlling fruit quality and analyzing specific crops in different... more
Prickly pear (Opuntia spp) fruit has received renewed interest since it contains a betalain pigment that has an attractive purple colour for the production of juice. Prickly pear juice was prepared by homogenizing the fruit and treating... more
ABSTRACT Responses of host cells against the attack of Erwinia amylovora have not been studied well. In this research, resistance levels of pear rootstocks, OH×F40, OH×F87, OH×F69, OH×F333 and two control pear cultivars, ‘Bartlett’... more
Pear (Pyrus communis L.) cultivars are self-incompatible and their adequate fruit set depends on the presence of pollinizer trees with compatibility of bloom period and alleles. This research was carried out in order to identify the... more
Programmed cell death (PCD) and secondary cell wall (SCW) thickening in pear fruit are accompanied by the deposition of cellulose and lignin to form stone cells. Metacaspase is an important protease for development, tissue renewal and... more
