套袋苹果褐点病菌分类鉴定及致病性

2011和2012年山东栖霞、蓬莱、沂源等地套袋苹果果实出现了一种红褐色病斑。从病斑上分离获得两株枝顶孢属Acremonium真菌,其中一株产生头状排列的分生孢子,另一株产生链状排列的分生孢子。2个菌株都能从伤口侵染近成熟期的苹果果实,导致果肉细胞坏死,表面凹陷,形成红褐色坏死斑。2个菌株都不能侵染无伤果实。2个菌株的ITS、β-微管蛋白基因、核糖体大亚基（nucLSU）和小亚基（nucSSU）的DNA序列完全相同。依椐两个菌株的ITS和nucLSU的DNA序列和形态特征,将2个菌株鉴定为菌核生枝顶孢Acremonium sclerotigenum。A. sclerotigenum是一种机会真菌,条件适宜时可侵染套袋的苹果果实,导致褐色坏死病斑,称之为枝顶孢褐点病。     

套袋微域环境对富士苹果果皮结构的影响

对富士苹果果实进行双层纸袋套袋处理,通过分析袋内微域环境变化,研究套袋微域环境对果皮扫描与透射结构的影响。结果表明:套袋内微域的黑暗环境导致果皮的光合能力缺失,表皮第一层细胞内容物减少,缺少脂质体,取而代之的是游离的脂体小球,说明表皮细胞形成角质层的物质来源缺乏,导致角质层变薄。与外界比较,套袋内昼夜具较高的温度与湿度,形成所谓的"小温室"环境,而且,由于受套袋的保护,使果实免受外界环境的直接刺激,导致套袋果实的果面光洁平滑,果点小且色淡,蜡质层龟裂均匀,且裂口深度远小于未套袋果;但摘袋后果面龟裂产生的裂纹频度增大,说明环境的改变影响蜡质层龟裂。研究结果从果皮结构的变化为套袋果实外观品质的变化提供了理论依据,同时为果实摘袋后的补钙实施提供了参考依据。

Effect of host plant on cornucopia of mango fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) and their triumphant management in context of climate change

A study was performed to assess the preference of fourteen mango cultivars for fruit flies and their management by bagging. So the choice of Tephritid flies to mango cultivars during fruiting phase is crucial. Fourteen different cultivars of mango viz., ‘Dusehri’, ‘Malda’, ‘Langra’ early cultivars, ‘Chaunsa’, ‘Fajri Klan’, ‘Sensation’ medium whereas ‘Sanglakhi’, ‘Retaul-12’, ‘Mehmood Khan’, ‘Tukhmi’, ‘Kala Chaunsa’, ‘Chitta Chaunsa’, ‘Dai Wala’ and ‘Sobey De Ting’ late cultivars were assessed for their suitability for fruit flies. The results indicate that the population density of fruit flies was higher on late cultivars like ‘Sanglakhi’ (20.61 percent), ‘Mehmood Khan’ (20.22 percent) and ‘Reutal-12’ (19.92 percent) were proved to be highly susceptible to fruit flies. Among these the cultivar ‘Reutal-12’ was selected being commercial and future cultivar for the management of fruit flies through bagging. The results reported that the attack of tephritid fruit flies and other insect pests were zero in bagged fruits as compared with control. It was further recorded that the bagged fruits has maximum average fruit weight i.e. 203.50 and 197.83 g per fruit was noted in those treatments where butter paper bag and brown paper bag was wrapped with better coloration as compared with un-bagged fruit with 159.5 g per fruit. Similarly, on an average fruit length were more i.e. 90.17, 91.33 mm in bagged fruit and 85.33 in un-bagged fruits. Furthermore, bagged fruits have zero incidence of disease with reduced fruit crack, fruit sunburn, mechanical damage, bird damage, fruit blemished and agrochemical residues on the fruit. So, it is concluded that the special attention should be given on ‘Reutal-12’ for the management of fruit flies when devising an IPM program for the control of fruit flies. Further, bagging has proved to be the good agricultural practices for the production of quality mango.     

Foliar application of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) delays fruit ripening and reduces pre-harvest fruit drop and ethylene production of bagged “Kogetsu” apples

Covering apple fruits with double layer waterproof bags to enhance fruit quality and evenness of blush colour is typical on many cultivars in Korea and Japan. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) applied to unbagged apple fruits at 3–4 weeks before commercial harvest reduces ethylene production in the fruit, delays fruit ripening and reduces pre-harvest fruit drop. Spray application of AVG to trees of bagged apples should have no effect on apple ripening as there is␣no direct contact with the fruit and the translocation of AVG in apple trees is regarded as negligible. However, preliminary experiments suggested that AVG applied to trees of bagged apples reduced pre-harvest fruit drop in “Kotgetsu” apples. This study investigated the effect of spray treatments of 125 ppm of AVG on fruit drop, fruit ripening (firmness, starch conversion and soluble solids) and ethylene production to whole trees with bagged or unbagged “Kogetsu” fruit, as well as sprays of only the bagged or unbagged fruit on trees on two orchards. AVG applied to whole trees with unbagged apples reduced fruit drop from an average of 58.9% to 10.4%, delayed starch conversion and decreased ethylene production. AVG applied to whole trees with bagged fruit was equally effective in reducing pre-harvest drop, delaying fruit ripening and reducing ethylene production. Application of AVG to unbagged fruit only was nearly as effective as application to whole trees with unbagged fruit but application to bagged fruit only had no effect on fruit ripening or ethylene production. Application of AVG to bagged fruit only did reduce fruit drop to an average of 42.5% but this was not as effective as spraying unbagged fruit only or whole trees with bagged fruit. Possible mechanisms for this effect are discussed.     

Apple Fruit Cuticles and the Occurrence of Pores and Transcuticular Canals

Developmental studies were made on the dewaxed thin-sectionedapple fruit cuticles of 10 Malus sylvestris Mill, cultivarsfrom 4 weeks before anthesis through fruit maturation and harvest.Cuticular development appears to correlate well with the generalgrowth of the fruit. However, no correlation exists betweenfruit size and cuticle thickness. Cuticular pores were evidentas early as 1 week before anthesis and transcuticular canalsbecame evident by 1 week following anthesis. Dewaxed thin-sectioned,as well as isolated, mature fruit cuticles of 16 cultivars andfour crab-apples consistently revealed the distinct presenceof ubiquitous pores and canals. Evidence is provided by lightmicroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Measurementswere taken of cuticle thicknesses during development and ofcuticular pore dimensions, and calculations were made of poreand canal numbers. Fruit size alone is not directly indicativeof total pore numbers per surface area. Canal lengths are directlyrelated to the developmental thickness of the cuticle. No correlationwas found between the thickness of the mature cuticle and eitherthe number of pores present or the pore diameters.

套袋对梨果实发育过程中糖组分及其相关酶活性的影响

以翠冠和黄金梨为试材,测定套袋和未套袋(对照)梨果实发育时期果实中蔗糖、葡萄糖、果糖和山梨醇含量以及蔗糖代谢相关酶酸性转化酶(AI)、中性转化酶(NI)、蔗糖合成酶(SS)和蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)的活性,并对果实中糖组分积累与酶活性的关系进行了分析.结果表明:(1)两梨品种套袋果实在发育过程中蔗糖、葡萄糖、果糖、山梨醇和糖代谢相关酶活性变化趋势与对照基本一致,套袋果实糖含量均低于对照但差异不显著,而各相关酶活性在两类果实间差异表现各异.(2)在梨果实发育早期,果实中以分解酶类为主,糖分积累低;发育后期以合成酶类为主,糖分积累多.(3)两品种套袋和对照果实AI活性与葡萄糖含量均呈显著或极显著正相关,SS合成方向活性与蔗糖含量均为极显著正相关,且翠冠对照果SPS活性与蔗糖含量呈极显著正相关.可见,套袋通过提高果实发育早期转化酶(Inv)活性,降低果实后期蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)、蔗糖合成酶(SS)的活性来影响糖分积累,从而影响梨果品质.     

Fruit cuticle lipid composition and water loss in a diverse collection of pepper (Capsicum)

Pepper (Capsicum spp.) fruits are covered by a relatively thick coating of cuticle that limits fruit water loss, a trait previously associated with maintenance of postharvest fruit quality during commercial marketing. To shed light on the chemical‐compositional diversity of cuticles in pepper, the fruit cuticles from 50 diverse pepper genotypes from a world collection were screened for both wax and cutin monomer amount and composition. These same genotypes were also screened for fruit water loss rate and this was tested for associations with cuticle composition. Our results revealed an unexpectedly large amount of variation for the fruit cuticle lipids, with a more than 14‐fold range for total wax amounts and a more than 16‐fold range for cutin monomer amounts between the most extreme accessions. Within the major wax constituents fatty acids varied from 1 to 46%, primary alcohols from 2 to 19%, n‐alkanes from 13 to 74% and triterpenoids and sterols from 10 to 77%. Within the cutin monomers, total hexadecanoic acids ranged from 54 to 87%, total octadecanoic acids ranged from 10 to 38% and coumaric acids ranged from 0.2 to 8% of the total. We also observed considerable differences in water loss among the accessions, and unique correlations between water loss and cuticle constituents. The resources described here will be valuable for future studies of the physiological function of fruit cuticle, for the identification of genes and QTLs associated with fruit cuticle synthesis in pepper fruit, and as a starting point for breeding improved fruit quality in pepper.     

The role of anthocyanin in photoprotection and its relationship with the xanthophyll cycle and the antioxidant system in apple peel depends on the light conditions

The synthesis of anthocyanin, the xanthophyll cycle, the antioxidant system and the production of active oxygen species (AOS) were compared between red and non‐red apple cultivars, in response to either long‐term sunlight exposure (high light intensity) during fruit development, or to exposure of bagged fruits to lower light intensity late in fruit development. During fruit development of red and non‐red apples, the xanthophyll cycle pool size decreased much more in red apple peel late in development. With accumulation of AOS induced by long‐term sunlight exposure, enhancement of the antioxidant system was found. However, this change became significantly lower in red apple than non‐red apple as fruit developed, which might serve to accelerate the anthocyanin synthesis in red apple peel. When, late in fruit development, bagged fruits were exposed to sunlight, the accumulation of AOS was lower in red apple peel than in non‐red peel. This could be due to the higher anthocyanin concentration in the red peels. Meanwhile, compared with that in non‐red cultivar, the xanthophyll cycle and the antioxidant system in red apple peel were protected first but then down‐regulated by its higher anthocyanin concentration during sunlight exposure. In conclusions, red and non‐red apples peel possess different photoprotective mechanisms under high light conditions. The relationship between anthocyanin synthesis and the xanthophyll cycle, and the antioxidant system, depends on the light conditions that fruit undergoes.     

Photooxidative Stress Modulation of Endogenous Phytohormone and Antioxidant Accumulations and Fruit Maturity in Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)

A common modern cultivation practice is bagging the fruit bunch if date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) which may influence fruit maturity and nutraceutical quality. Exposure of fruits to photooxidative stress induces changes in the endogenous concentrations of plant hormones and other metabolites, which may cause accelerated fruit maturity. This study was conducted to examine the effect of exposure to direct and indirect sunlight on date palm fruit development. The indirect sunlight treatment was simulated by fruit bunch bagging, a common practice in modern date production. The exposure of date palm fruits to direct sunlight-induced photooxidative stress causing an increased concentration of ascorbic acid and decreased content of chlorophyll, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and phenols compared to the fruit bagging treatment. Direct sunlight also reduced the concentration of phytohormones, including indoleacetic acid, gibberellin, and zeatin, but increased abscisic acid accumulation. The directly-exposed fruits reached a partially-mature stage (Rutab) in August, whereas the bagged fruits remained at the immature stage (Khalal). This study is the first to describe the biochemical basis of the observed improvement of date palm fruit development in response to reduced light intensity. Besides, it provides insights into controlling date palm fruit maturity and subsequently prolonging the shelf life dates on the tree; thus, extending the marketing period for the benefit of the farmers.
