Internal Flesh Browning in Apple and Its Predisposing Factors—A Review

Physiologia, 2023
This review article is focused on internal flesh browning (IFB)-related physiological disorders affecting apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) fruit. The expression of different physiological and metabolic IFB-related disorders during post-harvest storage are ...

Manage of crop load to improve fruit quality in plums [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2018
Abstract The crop load of European plums must be adjusted to achieve high quality with adequate size and skin color in order to attend market requirements. The present study had the objective to investigate the effects of chemical and mechanical thinning, applied isolated and in combination of both, at different phenological stages of Katinka plum ...

Fruitlet carbohydrate status and relative growth rate explain apple abscission rates irrespective of flower position

Frontiers in Plant Science
The setting of apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruitlets is primarily determined by their relative sink strength, which depends on the balance between carbohydrate supply and demand and the number of competing sinks. It is generally accepted that limits

Crop Load and Thinning Methods Impact Yield, Nutrient Content, Fruit Quality, and Physiological Disorders in ‘Scilate’ Apples

Agronomy, 2022
Most apple cultivars produce too many flowers to enable consistent yields of high-quality fruit, thus, crop load management (thinning) is an integral part of orchard management in modern apple cultivation.

The effects of thinning and girdling on leaf water potential, growth and fruit composition of Ruby Seedless grapevines

OENO One, 2001
A study was conducted to determine the effects of thinning and girdling at fruitset on growth, yield and fruit composition of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Ruby Seedless grapevines. Leaf water potential of girdled vines was higher than that of the control vines.
