Morphological and biochemical changes in squash fruits with fruiting induced by cytokinin and auxin

Revista Caatinga
ABSTRACT The use growth regulators from the cytokinins and auxins group has been shown to increase the productivity of certain crops, as they may be involved in the expression of plant sex, although little is known about the action of auxin IBA and cytokinin CPPU on the fruiting of squash, as well as the interaction between both, which makes this field

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Morphological and genetic characterization of the muscadine fruit abscission zone

Horticulture Research
Abstract Muscadines face limitations to fresh market production due to high manual labor costs. Mechanical harvesting holds promise for reducing the costs associated with muscadine production but requires cultivars with easily detached fruit at maturity.

Annatto‐Derived Carotenoids (Bixin and Norbixin) As Biodiesel Antioxidants: Characterization and Effects on Oxidative Stability (Rancimat and PetroOXY)

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Annatto‐derived bixin and norbixin were characterized and evaluated as natural antioxidants for soybean biodiesel. Their antioxidant performance and effects on oxidative stability were assessed using DPPH, Rancimat, and PetroOXY methods. ABSTRACT The increasing use of eco‐friendly fuels is increasing the production of biodiesel but soybean biodiesel is

From Agro‐Industrial Waste to Functional Packaging Using Antimicrobial and Mechanically Reinforced Starch Foams With Melon Seed and Rosemary

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Agro‐industrial waste was upcycled into biodegradable starch foams reinforced with melon seed and rosemary flours, yielding sustainable food packaging with enhanced mechanical performance, selective antimicrobial activity, and rapid biodegradation. ABSTRACT The demand for sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based packaging has promoted starch‐based ...

The role of acyl carrier protein in strawberry fruit ripening [PDF]

, 2000
Strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) is an economically important soft fruit that is highly valued as a fresh product and flavouring. During ripening, strawberry fruits undergo a number of physiological changes affecting colour, texture and flavour.

Herbarium‐based measurements are reliable predictors of fresh plant traits in Neotropical Myrtaceae

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Herbarium specimens are increasingly used to extract morphological traits for ecological and evolutionary studies, yet the effects of tissue desiccation on trait measurements remain poorly understood. Here, we tested two hypotheses: (H1) whether higher tissue water content leads to greater measurement changes after herborization and ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies Provide Molecular Insights into the Genetic Determination of the Fruit Shape-Related Traits of Actinidia eriantha

Horticulturae
In the selection of new horticultural crops varieties, fruit shape and size are key agronomic traits targeted by breeders, as well as critical criteria for commercial evaluation and grading.
