[EN] Citrus trees are polycarpic species that only produce single flowers or determinate inflorescences, so that vegetative growth is required at the axillary buds to renew the polycarpic habit. In addition, in some ...
[EN] In loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl cv. Algerie) fruit, despite the non-climacteric ripening behaviour, evidence suggest that ethylene may participate in the regulation of several ripening- and postharvest-related ...
[EN] Loquat is considered as a non-climacteric fruit; however, there is an evidence of a climacteric-like maturation. Therefore, it seems its ripening behavior has yet to be satisfactory classified. Because autocatalytic ...
[EN] In woody species, it is known that there is a competition for nutrients, water and carbohydrates between root and fruit-shoot systems, however the influence of root development on fruit quality has received little ...
[EN] In Citrus, certain species and/or cultivars are prone to alternate bearing, i.e., a year of heavy crop (ON year) is followed by one of low flowering and light crop (OFF year), and vice-versa. To counteract the fruit ...
By applying 20 mgl(-1) of alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) potassium salt to 'Algerie' loquat tree flowers prior to or at anthesis pollen grain germination was signficantly inhibited and pollen tube growth was halted, ...

The aim of this work was to verify the possibility to determine mineral nutritional status in loquat leaves by using the portable instrument Chlorophyll Meter SPAD-502 (Minolta). For some species SPAD values have already ...
[EN] While the ethylene-auxin interactions are well documented in model dicots such as tomato (climacteric fruit) during mature fruit abscission, the process is not clearly understood in citrus (non-climacteric fruit). The ...
[EN] Codes and detailed crop-specific descriptions are presented for the growth stages of the mango tree, contributing to the standardization of international testing systems in fruit growing. Based on the general BBCH-scale, ...
[EN] BACKGROUND: In Citrus, root temperature regulates rind colouration. However, few studies have investigated the range of
temperatures and timing which determine rind colour break. The objective of this study was to ...
[EN] In Citrus, the response to environmental floral inductive signals is inhibited by the presence of developing fruits. The mechanism involves epigenetic activation of the CcMADS19 locus (FLC orthologue), encoding a ...
[EN] Ringing branches is a technique which is widely used to increase the yield of Citrus cultivars with low parthenocarpic ability. When performed during the physiological fruitlet abscission stage it prevents fruitlet ...
This study aimed to determine if self-pollination is needed to trigger facultative parthenocarpy in self-incompatible Clementine mandarins (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.). 'Marisol' and 'Clemenules' mandarins were selected, ...
[EN] In Rosaceae fruit tree species, fruit and roots grow opposite because of carbohydrate competition, and root activity is thus reduced by fruit growth. In agreement with this, for some of these species soil temperature ...
[EN] In non-climacteric fruit tree species, color change is primarily controlled by the interplay between environmental conditions, nutritional factors (nitrogen and sugars) and hormones, mainly abscisic acid and gibberellins ...
[EN] In loquat, the synthetic auxin 3,5,6-trichloro-2 pyridyloxiacetic acid (3,5,6-TPA) applied at 15 mgl(-1) at the onset of the linear fruit growth stage or one month later during the active fruit growth period, advanced ...
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the synthetic auxin 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pirydiloxyacetic acid (3,5,6-TPA) on photosynthetic activity, photosynthate transport to the fruit, and fruitlet abscission to ...
[EN] Why evergreen fruit tree species accumulate starch in the ovary during flower bud differentiation in spring, as deciduous species do during flower bud dormancy, is not fully understood. This is because in evergreen ...
[EN] Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) tissues contain considerable amounts of polyphenolic compounds and polysaccharides which can copurify with RNA. This can render the RNA unsuitable for DNA synthesis and makes the ...
[EN] Fruit splitting or cracking is a major physiological disorder in fruit trees markedly influenced by environmental conditions, but conclusive data still are required to provide a definite explanation and preventive ...
