Abstract Mango fruit (Mangifera Indica L., cv. Shelly) developing at the exterior of canopy
and exposed to sunlight acquires a red peel color on the sun-exposed side compared to the …

This review is an overview of traditional and modern breeding methodologies being used to
develop new Prunus cultivars (stone fruits) with major emphasis on peach, sweet cherry and …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) in stone fruit (Prunus species) breeding is currently difficult
to achieve due to the polygenic nature of the most relevant agronomic traits linked to fruit …

To avoid postharvest quality loss of nectarine fruits during storage, the method of near
freezing temperature (NFT) storage was established and applied. This study evaluated the …

Nine important fruit quality traits—including fruit weight, stone weight, fruit diameter, skin
ground colour, flesh colour, blush colour, firmness, soluble solids content and acidity content …

Fruit quality is an essential criterion used to select new cultivars in peach breeding programs
and is determined based on a combination of organoleptic and nutritional traits. The aim of …

The availability of a complete peach genome assembly and three different peach genome
sequences created by our group provide new opportunities for application of genomic data …

Storage or transportation temperature is very important for preserving the quality of fruit.
However, low temperature in sensitive fruit such as peach can induce loss of quality. Fruit …

Peaches and nectarines are temperate climate stone fruit, which should be stored at 0° C to
prevent ripening of these climacteric fruit. However, if stored for too long they will develop …
