Kiwifruit Quality Related to Position on the Plant
(ISHS, 2014)
Although kiwifruit have been grown and exported since decades in Chile, early
fruit softening is still an important problem. Some studies relate fruit quality
problems to climate, orchard and fruit management and high ...
Caracterização física e química dos frutos nos diferentes quadrantes da planta e germinação de sementes do portaenxerto cítrico tangerineira ‘Sunki’
(2015-01-01)
The tangerine ' Sunki' are highly relevant for the Brazilian citrus industry by presenting important traits for genetic improvement and to be considered a great portaenxento. In this context, the objective of the present ...
Quality of castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis l.) affected by raceme and fruit position during storagePosição do racemo e do fruto na qualidade fisiológica de sementes de mamona durante o armazenamento
(2010-01-01)
The present research had as objective to evaluate the influence of raceme and fruit position on physiological quality of castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis L.) during storage of cultivar AL Guarany 2002. The treatments ...
Incidence of patulin in fruits and fruit juices marketed in Campinas, Brazil
(1999-02-06)
One hundred and eleven samples of processed fruit juices (apple, grape, pineapple, papaya, guava, banana and mango) and 38 samples of sound fruits (apple, papaya, mango, pear and peach) produced and marketed in Brazil, ...
Nutrients in fruits as determinants of resource tracking by birds
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-07)
Fruit pulp is an important source of nutrients for many bird species. Fruit-eating birds use a variety of strategies to cope with changes in the availability of fruits, exhibiting a remarkable ability to track resources. ...
Fallen fruits stimulate decomposition of leaf litter of dominant species in NW Patagonia shrublands
(Springer, 2018-04)
Background and aims: Leaf-litter decomposition rate (kL) regulates nutrient dynamics and is affected at microsite level by species traits, soil biota and microclimate conditions. Fallen fruits form part of the litter and ...
Geographic patterns in fruit colour diversity: do leaves constrain the colour of fleshy fruits?
(Springer, 2009-03-01)
We tested for geographic patterns in fruit colour diversity. Fruit colours are thought to promote detection by seed dispersers. Because seed dispersers differ in their spectral sensitivities, we predicted that fruit colour ...

Bird fruit consumption results from the interaction between fruit-handling behaviour and fruit crop size
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01)
Bird foraging behaviour is a major factor involved in mutualistic interactions of fleshy-fruited plants. Despite much research, we still lack quantified demonstrations of how fruit display traits affect fruit removal ...
