Cell wall modifications in chilling-injured plum fruit (Prunus salicina)
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in cell wall pectins in normally ripening (juicy) and in chilling-injured plum fruit (Prunus salicina cv. Fortune) showing mealiness. Total cell wall neutral sugars and uronic acids, solubilization and depolymerization of pectins in water-, CDTA- and Na2CO3-soluble fractions of the cell wall ...

Discovery of non-climacteric and suppressed climacteric bud sport mutations originating from a climacteric Japanese plum cultivar (Prunus salicina Lindl.). [PDF]
Japanese plums are classified as climacteric; however, some economically important cultivars selected in California produce very little ethylene and require long ripening both "on" and "off" the tree to reach eating-ripe firmness. To unravel the ripening

DNA-based S-genotyping of Japanese plum and pluot cultivars to clarify incompatibility relationships [PDF]
Diploid japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) cultivars are commonly self-incompatible. To date, 14 incompatibility alleles (S-alleles) have been identified and labeled with alphabetical (S-a-S-n) and 5 with numeric codes (S-1, S-3-S-6).

Development and application of rice starch based edible coating to improve the postharvest storage potential and quality of plum fruit (Prunus salicina) [PDF]
The study investigated the possibility of enhancing the shelf life of plum fruit coated with rice starch-ι-carrageenan (RS-ι-car) composite coating blended with sucrose fatty acid esters (FAEs). Film solution (starch 3%, carrageenan 1.5% and FAEs 2%) was
