Inhibition of tuber sprouting in potato cultivars Asterix and Challenger by 1.4...
Mendonça Neto,Abelardo Barreto de; Pereira,Ariana Mota; Guimarães,Maria Eduarda da Silva; Gonçalves,Dreice Nascimento; Soares,Luciana GomesABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to verify the efficiency of 1,4-dimethylnapthalene in suppressing sprouting and the consequent maintenance of the quality of potato tubers of Asterix and Challenger cultivars, at different temperatures and storage regimes. Six treatments were tested, with and without 1.4-DNM, at temperatures of 8 ° C and 20 ° C. Assessments were made at 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180 days after appli...
Selection of ornamental peppers elite lines for ethylene-insensitive
Rêgo,Elizanilda Ramalho do; Freitas,Nardiele de Souza Souto; Pessoa,Angela Maria dos Santos; Silva,Priscila Duarte; Finger,Fernando LuizABSTRACT Peppers belongs to Capsicum genus and have a lot of different varieties. They can be different uses such as potted ornamental plants. Retail market for this type of pepper requires the development of a greater number of commercial cultivars with adequate ornamental characteristics as well as an extended shelf life (post-production). Ethylene exposure causes adverse effects in ornamental pepper post-pro...
Methyl jasmonate controls sprouting incidence in stored sweet potatoes and pres...
Véras,Mário Leno Martins; Araújo,Nicolas Oliveira de; Santos,Mirelle Nayana Sousa; Tello,Jean Paulo de Jesus; Araújo,Fernanda Ferreira deABSTRACT High incidence of sprouts and loss of quality of sweet potato is one of the negative aspects that compromises the commercialization most, and the methods of sprout control are still very limited. The appearance of sprouts promotes the wilting of sweet potato roots, reducing their commercialization period. The main objectives of this study were to evaluate sprout control and physiological and biochemica...
Ideal temperature and storage period for commercial potato cultivars selected f...
Cruz,Renata Ranielly Pedroza; Pereira,Ariana Mota; Ribeiro,Wellington Souto; Freire,Ana Izabella; Costa,Franciscleudo Bezerra da; Zanuncio,José ColaABSTRACT: Potatoes for industrial processing must have high dry matter, low sugar and free from damage or disease. The objective was to determine the ideal temperature and storage period of commercial cultivars for frying. Tubers of Asterix and Cronos cultivars were stored in a cold chamber (Gallant CMC4 Premium) inside plastic boxes at 6 and 8 °C with 85 to 95% humidity for 180 days. Accumulated mass loss (PMA...
Storage of markies cultivar potatoes for prossessing
Petrucci,Kharen Priscilla de Oliveira Salomão; Pereira,Ariana Mota; Moreira,Marialva Alvarenga; Cecon,Paulo Roberto; Finger,Fernando LuizABSTRACT The refrigerated induce the sweetening of the potato, which results in the dark color. The objective of this study was to determine the temperature and shelf life of Markies potato tubers under refrigerated storage for the processing of French fries. The levels of total soluble sugar (TSS), reducing sugars (RS), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity, color after frying and start of spro...
Use of methyl jasmonate in bird of paradise
Pereira,Ariana Mota; Gomes,Mateus de Paula; Gonçalves,Dreice Nascimento; Guimarães,Maria Eduarda da Silva; Freire,Ana Izabella; Finger,Fernando LuizABSTRACT The MeJA has been shown to be promising in reducing the damages caused by cold and maintaining the quality in several products. Nevertheless, few studies are conducted with flowers and there are no studies of its use in bird of paradise. The objective of this study was to determine whether the pulsing application with MeJA submitted to cold storage promotes physiological changes of the bird of paradise...
Physiological and antioxidant changes in sunflower seeds under water restriction
Morais,Thais de Castro; Pinheiro,Daniel Teixeira; Martinez,Paola Andrea Hormaza; Finger,Fernando Luiz; Dias,Denise Cunha Fernandes dos SantosAbstract: Seed vigor may be determinant for field performance, especially under water restriction conditions. Sunflower is a crop subject to these conditions in the field and, therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological and antioxidant changes in sunflower seeds under water restriction. Two lots of sunflower seeds (cv. Hélio 253) with different vigor levels were used. After initial charac...
Artificially cooling of onion bulbs stored in brickwork-patterned vertical silos
Rêgo,Elizanilda R; Ferreira,Ana Paula S; Pereira,Danilo Manoel; Pereira,Ariana M; Pereira,Olinto L; Finger,Fernando LuizABSTRACT Onion is the third most consumed vegetable worldwide, such as potatoes and tomatoes. Its conservation is influenced by temperature and humidity, and greatest losses occur at postharvest due to lack of storage infrastructure. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of partial cooling in vertical silo on postharvest conservation of cured onion bulbs cultivar Bola Precoce. The experimental ...
Heritability of morpho-agronomic traits in ornamental pepper
Nascimento,Mayana Ferreira; Rêgo,Elizanilda Ramalho do; Nascimento,Naysa Flávia Ferreira do; Leite,Pakizza Sherma da Silva; Finger,Fernando LuizAbstract This study was conducted to identify the allelic interactions and genetic effects involved in genetic control of quantitative traits in Capsicum annuum. Six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) were used to study the variances, means and allelic interactions of 16 quantitative traits evaluated. The additive part of the phenotypic variance found for plant height, number of peppers per plant, days t...
Influence of long days on the production of cut chrysanthemum cultivars
Zandonadi,Alessandra S; Maia,Ciro; Barbosa,José Geraldo; Finger,Fernando Luiz; Grossi,José Antônio SABSTRACT Chrysanthemum is one of the most widely marketed cut flower in the world. For this flower cultivation, long days to induce vegetative growth are required, until the plant reaches the necessary size for commercial flowering. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the number of long days on the production of floral stems of five cut chrysanthemum cultivars. The experiment was evaluated in...
