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 …

Fruit cracking is a physiological disease that occurs during fruit development, which limits
the quality and marketability of the fruit and causes great economic losses. Fruit cracking is …

Fruit cracking is an important problem in horticultural crop production. Polygalacturonase
(SlPG) and expansin (SlEXP1) proteins cooperatively disassemble the polysaccharide …

This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms activated by melatonin treatment at 0, 1, 10,
100, and 1000 µM for retarding senescence and improving the antioxidant potential of sweet …

To explore the use of L-aspartic acid nano-calcium (nano-Ca) to reduce nectarine fruit-
cracking, we sprayed the crack-susceptible nectarine cultivar 'Huaguang'[Prunus persica (L.) …

Fruit cracking is a physiological disorder in many plant species that leads to severe
economic losses. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of calcium on fruit …

The impact of ultraviolet-C (UV–C) irradiation on sweet cherry fruit was studied. Following
harvest, fruits (cv. Sweetheart) were exposed to different doses of UV-C (0, 1.2, 3.0 or 6.0 kJ …

Papaya fruits ripen and deteriorate rapidly after harvest. It is well established that the
calcium treatment delays fruit ripening. However, the regulation of fruit ripening by calcium …

Abstract Background Calcium (Ca 2+) plays an important role in plant growth and
development, and the maintenance of calcium homeostasis is necessary for the survival of …

The benefits of silicon against abiotic stress in different annual plant species have been
described in many studies, however the regulation of ripening of fruit tree crops by silicon …
