Edible Coatings Incorporated With Acerola Residue Flour Extract Enhance the Quality and Shelf‐Life of d’Anjou Pears Stored at Room Temperature

Journal of Food Safety, Volume 45, Issue 6, December 2025.
First the acerola residue flour (ARF) extract was prepared. The edible coatings formulations were produced with cassava starch, chitosan and ARF extract. The edible coatings were applied on the pears. The coated pears were analyzed for physicochemical and microbiological properties during room temperature storage. ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine

Estimating Leaf CO2 Assimilation in C3 Plants Using a Handheld Porometer With Chlorophyll Fluorometer in Field Conditions

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 10, Page 7213-7224, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Gas exchange measurement is the gold standard method for determining leaf CO2 assimilation rate (An). However, conventional systems for measuring An often require time and/or effort to collect numerous samples in the field owing to their high weight and large size.

Determination of Potential Pollinizer Grafted Pear Hybrids (Pyrus communis × Pyrus pyrifolia) for Subtropical Regions in Brazil

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2019
The pear tree is originally a temperate-climate fruit tree. The cross Pyrus communis × Pyrus pyrifolia generated hybrid cultivars adapted to subtropical regions. However, the low effective fruiting is a limiting factor for the expansion of pear tree crops in subtropical regions and no pollinizer plants have been identified for these cultivars
