IntroductionMicronutrient fertilisation is a promising strategy for agronomic biofortification of tomatoes. Yet, its effects on yield formation and fruit quality remain insufficiently clarified, particularly when multipl...

The thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus (ACB) genus includes several species responsible for spoilage of acidic fruit-based products, yet bacteriocins produced by these bacteria remain unexplored. In this study, the spoil...

Ageing is a complex biological process marked by gradual functional decline, reduced cellular resilience, and increased vulnerability to chronic diseases. Maintaining cell health has become a crucial strategy for extendi...

Free radical damage to the body can be prevented and repaired using antioxidants. Various natural ingredients native to Indonesia contain antioxidants, which are needed to improve people's health at an affordable cost. P...

This research examined the ripening time of guava fruit to provide a scientific basis for better harvesting and preservation of these fruits. Biochemical research methods were used to analyse changes in physiological and...

Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1 males are sexually stimulated by the aroma of fruit of its native host Psidium guajava (guava). Other hosts, which are exotic to A. fraterculus, do not enhance male sexual behavior. Here we ev...

Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Humb. ex Roem. & Schult.) T.D. Penn. is a tree species belonging to the Sapotaceae family, whose black berries can be consumed fresh or as jam. It is widely distributed in Mexico, Belize, Costa ...

Geoffroea decorticans (chañar) is commonly used for culinary and medicinal purposes in rural communities. The aim of this work was to chemically characterize three Geoffroea decorticans extracts and determine their capa...

Abstract Potassium (K) deficiency has emerged as a critical constraint for sustainable apple production in highland regions, yet spatial variability of soil K status and site-specific fertilization responses remain poorl...

The ripening stage of a fruit is a crucial determinant of its quality. Traditional assessment methods for fruit ripeness are often subjective, error-prone, and time-consuming. Therefore, numerous attempts are being made ...

The presence of the “pear thrips” Taeniothrips inconsequens has been cited in Argentina in 1921 by Teresa Joan. This has affected exports of fruit tree propagation materials. However currently there is a concern abou...

There are only few studies on the antibacterial activity of red fruit extract (Pandanus conoideus Lam) against oral pathogenic bacteria. Thus, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of red fruit extracts by looki...

SUN controls elongated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) shape early in fruit development through changes in cell number along the different axes of growth. The gene encodes a member of the IQ domain family characterized by ...

Abstract Antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables have a potential to reduce disease risk, and increase the shelf life of food products by reducing lipid oxidation. The effect of marination with antioxidants-rich fr...

Abstract Major concerns in view of global issues including population increase, climate change, food insecurity and declining cultivable land are ones of expansion. Ensuring nutritional security and helping to mitigate t...

The development of medicine depends heavily on medicinal plants. They include various phytochemicals that can have physiological effects on people. Among them is the Borassus flabellifer Linn., also known as the lontar p...

Ethylene biosynthesis during postharvest ripening of tomato fruit is stimulated by the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA). This research utilized mature green cherry tomato fruit to elucidate the molecular mechanism of SlA...

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers have emerged as a promising natural alternative to synthetic fibers due to their mechanical strength and biocompatibility, although research on their use as a reinforcing in comp...

Cold storage is extensively used to slow the rapid deterioration of peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) fruit after harvest. However, peach fruit subjected to long periods of cold storage develop chilling injury (CI) sympto...

Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is an important intermediate in Krebs cycle and in metabolism of amino acids. Recently, it was proposed to apply as a dietary supplement to improve overall functional state of living organisms. ...

Lakum fruit (Cayratia trifolia L. Domin) contains secondary metabolite compounds that have antioxidant properties. C trifolia belongs to the Vitaceae family, known as tropical grapes that have a sweet and itchy taste. Th...

Background: Hepatic metabolic disorders are closely associated with obesity and are characterized by systemic inflammation and liver injury. Moringa oleifera fruit contains various bioactive compounds with potential anti...
