FRUIT ABSCISSION AS RELATED TO FRUIT QUALITY
Acta Horticulturae, 2005Many fruit species bear an abundance of flowers which produce a surplus of fruits that the tree is unable to support. In anticipation of this, the major fruit species developed an immature fruit (fruitlet) physiological drop as a self regulatory mechanism.

Consumers of whole foods, such as fruits, demand consistently high quality and the development of new varieties with enhanced health, convenience, novel taste, and a reduced impact on the environment. Conventional breeding of temperate fruit crops such as apples and kiwifruit, the focus of HortResearch, exploits both existing cultivars and the ...

Mandarin fruit quality: a review
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2017AbstractDuring the last decade, there has been a continuous rise in consumption and global marketing of fresh, easy‐to‐peel mandarins, with current annual production of nearly 29 million tons. Nevertheless, most of the existing knowledge on quality traits of citrus fruit comes from research conducted on oranges and grapefruit, which are the main ...

Fresh citrus fruit, comprising oranges, grapefruit, mandarins, limes, lemons and minor varieties, are among the most popular fruits. With increasing year round competition from other fruits, maintaining this market position will require that fresh fruit quality be optimal.

FRUIT PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND POME FRUIT QUALITY
Acta Horticulturae, 1998Fruit taste in terms of fruit quality is dominated by the sugar:acid ratio. Photosynthesis and carbon metabolism of fruit differ from that of leaves in that organic acids contribute to the carbon storage pool despite starch and sugar. Malic acid is the predominant organic acid in pome fruits, induces their acidic taste and is produced by a two-step ...

FRUIT MICROENVIRONMENT AND FRUIT TRANSPIRATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR FRUIT QUALITY TRAITS
Acta Horticulturae, 2014The paper summarises the effects of the common weather variables radiation (R), windspeed (W), air temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) on fruit transpiration, and on fruit mineral accumulation (particularly calcium, Ca) in apricot and kiwifruit plants. The effects of T and RH on transpiration are combined in vapour pressure deficit (VPD). Fruits

The conversion of a tomato fruit from the mature green to fully ripe state involves dramatic changes in colour, composition, aroma, flavour and texture. Ripening used to be thought of simply as the result of a series of degradative processes, probably because some of the more obvious changes require the action of hydrolytic enzymes.

Rootstocks influence ‘Hass’ avocado fruit quality and fruit minerals
The Journal of Horticultural Science and Biotechnology, 2003To determine the potential for rootstocks to improve avocado quality, 'Hass' fruit from trees on seedling 'Velvick' (SV), clonal 'Velvick' (CV) or clonal 'Duke 7' (CD) rootstocks were harvested in 1999 and 2000, ripened at 20 C immediately after harvest (non-stored) or stored at 5 C for four weeks (stored), and then fruit quality and mineral ...
