Effects of deficit irrigation and biostimulants on melon productivity and quality in semi‐arid conditions

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Water scarcity and soil salinization are major constraints to irrigated agriculture in semi‐arid regions, affecting crop productivity and fruit quality. Combining deficit irrigation with biostimulant application has emerged as a promising strategy to improve water use efficiency and plant stress tolerance.

Black flesh disorder in mango: a chilling injury symptom increased by early harvest and low storage temperature and reduced by 1‐methylcyclopropene

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Black flesh (BF) is an internal disorder in mango, characterized by the development of dark brown to black pigmentation in the inner mesocarp tissue during storage or transport. This study investigated the effects of harvest maturity, low storage or low transport temperatures, and 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) on mango fruit ...

Unleashing the power of visible‐near infrared spectroscopy: predicting Golden Delicious apple enzyme activity

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Enzymatic browning is a significant reaction in fruits that affects their color, appearance, and quality. The quality of apples, as a perishable product, is mainly influenced by the activity of two browning‐related enzymes, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), during storage.
