Analysis of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit water dynamics during growth using an ecophysiological model
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruits exhibit three growth stages associated with distinct biological processes. During these periods, water and carbon accumulate in the fruit, determining quality traits such as fruit ...
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 ...
Rehydration of Rosa rubiginosa Fruits Dried with Hot Air
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-04)
The effect of perforation, drying temperature, and rehydration temperature on the rehydration kinetics of Rosa rubiginosa fruits was investigated. Before drying, half of the fruit sample was perforated three times at ...
Incidence of patulin in fruits and fruit juices marketed in Campinas, Brazil

Canopy spraying of abscisic acid to improve fruit quality of different sweet cherry cultivars
(MDPI, 2021)
Abscisic acid (ABA) plays a major role in promoting ripening in sweet cherry, a non-climacteric fruit. Exogenous application of ABA has been performed to study fruit ripening and cracking, but this growth regulator is not ...
EFFECT OF FRUIT THINNING INTENSITY ON FIVE VARIETIES OF LYCHEE
(Univ Fed Rural Semi-arido-ufersa, 2017-10-01)
Fruit thinning is the removal of fruitlets in heavy fruit set situations and aims to increase salable fruit sizes, avoid branch breakdown, reduce harvesting costs, and promote a balance between the vegetative and reproductive ...
Olfaction in the fruit-eating bats Artibeus lituratus and Carollia perspicillata: an experimental analysis
(Acad Brasileira De Ciencias, 2015-12-01)
Studies suggest that frugivorous bats search and select fruit mainly by olfaction so that they can be attracted by smell alone. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in captivity, the behavioural response (number of ...
PHENOLOGY AND FRUIT TRAITS OF ARCHONTOPHOENIX CUNNINGHAMIANA, AN INVASIVE PALM TREE IN THE ATLANTIC FOREST OF BRAZIL
(SOC TROPICAL ECOLOGY, GTOE, ZOOLOGICAL RESEARCH INST & MUSEBONN, 2012)
The Australian palm Archontophoenix cunninghamiana was introduced into Brazil as an ornamental species, and became a dangerous invader of remnant Atlantic forest patches, demanding urgent management actions that require ...
Seed Dispersal Anachronisms: Rethinking the Fruits Extinct Megafauna Ate
(Public Library Science, 2008-03-05)
Background: Some neotropical, fleshy-fruited plants have fruits structurally similar to paleotropical fruits dispersed by megafauna (mammals > 10(3) kg), yet these dispersers were extinct in South America 10-15 Kyr BP. ...
