Growing interest in the commercial production of sweet cherries around the world has
stimulated research on the potential for supplementary applications of calcium (Ca) as a way …

Calcium (Ca) is an essential nutrient for plants and animals, with key structural and
signalling roles, and its deficiency in plants can result in poor biotic and abiotic stress …

To improve storage/shipping quality of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), the effect of calcium
chloride (CaCl 2) added to hydro-cooling water on physiological and biochemical processes …

Texture changes in ripening fruits influence consumer preference, fruit storability,
transportability, shelf-life, and response to pathogen attack. Genetic regulatory factors as …

Calcium (Ca 2) nutrition has a significant role in fruit physiology; however, the underlying
mechanism is still unclear. In this study, fruit quality in response to CaCl 2, applied via foliar …

Key message This work provides the first system-wide datasets concerning metabolic
changes in calcium-treated fruits, which reveal that exogenously applied calcium may …

In many fruit trees, the thinning of buds, flowers, or fruits is used to increase the leaf area-to-
fruit ratio (LA: F) and reduce competition for carbohydrates. Meanwhile, calcium (Ca) sprays …

Hydrocooling sweet cherries shortly after harvest (4 h) and then transporting fruit in cold
flume water during packing are used to maximize postharvest quality, but can cause fruit …

Sweet cherry is a high value crop and the economic success of its cultivation depends not
only on yield but also on fruit visual and nutritional quality attributes that influence consumer …

Main conclusion Ηeat and calcium treatments reprogram sweet cherry fruit metabolism
during postharvest senescence as evidenced by changes in respiration, amino acid …
