Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the Horticultural Crops, Fruits and Vegetables (FV) are of primary - portance as the key source of essential components in an adequate and balanced human diet. FV have supported largely the daily food requirement of mankind since ages and even before man learned to grow cereal crops systematically. Over the years, growing FV has been the mainstay of rural economy and has emerged as an indispensable part of agriculture world over, offering farmers a wide range of crops in varied topography and climate. In certain parts of the world, FV are the major dietary staple. Apart from being a rich source of vitamins and minerals, this sector also contributes significantly in economy of the region or the nation. The increased income from per unit area of FV is far ahead and can not be compared with that of cereal crops. A recent survey by the Economist revealed that the world population has - creased by 90 % in the past 40 years while food production has increased only by 25 % per head. With an additional 1. 5 billion mouth to feed by 2020, farmers worldwide have to produce 39 % more. Looking at the load of the future food requirement, the global increased production of FV during last few years has absorbed the additional food requirement and accordingly the eating habits are also changing and shifting - wards more consumption of these commodities worldwide.

Download or read book Propects for the Development of Disease Resistant Temperate Fruit Plants by Mutation Induction written by A.I. Campbell and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevention or eradication of pests and diseases in temperate fruit crops has become a major component of production costs, and the environmental hazards of many of the numerous chemical treatments used are causing increasing anxiety. Therefore, in most of the present conventional fruit breeding programmes disease resistance has become an important objective, and there have been some notable successes; but progress is slow because of the long generation time and the genetic complexity of most tree fruit species. The complexity is such that cultivars can only be maintained as clones and it is unlikely that indentical genotypes could ever be sexually produced.

Download or read book Advances in Postharvest Pathology of Fruits and Vegetables written by Boqiang Li and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. However, one third of fruit and vegetables are lost after harvest every year. Most losses are caused by pathogen (mostly fungi) infections, which lead to postharvest decay. In addition, some postharvest fungal pathogens can produce toxic secondary metabolites (i.e. mycotoxins) during their infecting periods. Mycotoxin contamination may cause serious food safety issues. At present, the use of synthetic fungicides is still the main means to control postharvest diseases. However, the development of resistance in fungal pathogens to fungicides and the growing public concern over the health and environmental risks associated with high levels of pesticides in fruits and vegetables have urged researchers to develop alternative methods of disease control. A deeper understanding of the infecting mechanisms of postharvest pathogens will provide great insight into developing new controlling strategies.
Download or read book Postharvest Diseases of Fruits and Vegetables written by R. Barkai-Golan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-06-07 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the great variety of research being done in the field of postharvest pathology, this volume presents a collection of topics concerning the diseases of harvested fruits and vegetables.Each chapter represents a separate unit which taken together create a better understanding of the whole subject. Topics include the causal agents of postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables, their sources and their ways of penetration into the host; factors that may accelerate the development of the pathogen in the host - and those that suppress them; a list of the main pathogens of fruits and vegetables, their hosts and the diseases elicited by them; and a detailed description of the major diseases of selected groups of fruits and solanaceous vegetable fruits. Attack mechanisms of pathogens and defense mechanisms of the host are examined as are treatments aimed at suppressing postharvest diseases. The search for natural and safe chemical compounds and the variety of alternative physical and biological methods for use in postharvest disease control are emphasized.Teachers and students who focus on postharvest pathology, scientists in research institutes, companies dealing with fruit and vegetable preservation technologies and for all those striving to improve the quality of harvested fruits and vegetables will find this book of great interest.
Download or read book Fruit and Vegetable Diseases written by K.G. Mukerji and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past twentieth century, plant pathology has witnessed a dramatic advancement in management of plant diseases through in-depth investigations of host parasite interactions, integration of new concepts, principles and approaches. Our effort in brining out this book is to compile the achievements of modern times with regards to disease management of fruits which otherwise is widely dispersed in various scientific journals, books and government reports and to develop future strategies for the millennium. The chapters on individual crops are contributed by leading plant pathologists having authority in the respective field at international level. Each chapter includes the diseases of economic importance describing their history, distribution, symptoms, epidemiology, and integrated management approaches being adopted worldwide. Each chapter is vividly illustrated to make it more understandable to students, research and extension workers, planners, administrators and other end users citing pertinent references.
Download or read book Genomic And Phenotypic Analyses Of Vegetable Disease Resistance And Fruit Quality written by Lindsay Elizabeth Wyatt and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work describes genomics research and applied breeding in pepper and squash towards improvement in fruit quality and disease resistance. A major factor in pepper fruit quality is the presence or absence of pungency, caused by the presence of capsaicinoid molecules and controlled by the major gene Pun1. Three mutant alleles of Pun1 have been identified that cause the production of little to no capsaicinoids. A suite of PCR-based molecular markers are presented that differentiate the four Pun1 alleles, which will be useful for pepper breeding, seed purity testing, and characterization of new germplasm. Disease resistance is also important for pepper production, and Phytophthora capsici is an oomycete pathogen that can cause total yield loss in pepper. Nine bell pepper inbred lines were developed that are resistant to P. capsici. They have yields comparable to commercial cultivars, but have smaller fruit. They provide a high level of resistance to F1 progeny and are therefore suitable for use as both inbred lines and hybrid parents. To study fruit quality in winter squash, an acorn squash fruit and seed transcriptome was sequenced from the cultivar Sweet REBA at five developmental stages. A total of 55,949 unigenes were assembled, and 85% of the unigenes with predicted open reading frames had homology with previously identified genes. Building on this transcriptome, comparative fruit and seed transcriptome sequencing was conducted to compare 'Sweet REBA' with the oilseed pumpkin 'Lady Godiva', developed for seed consumption. Pathways for carotenoid, starch, and sucrose biosynthesis in winter squash fruit were assembled from the literature and homologs were identified for all of the structural genes involved. Differential gene expression between the two cultivars was consistent with their observed phenotypes for these three metabolites of interest, indicating that transcriptional regulation of metabolic genes is an important determinant of winter squash fruit quality. Overall, this research supports vegetable breeding through molecular marker development, the evaluation of improved diseaseresistant lines, and the investigation of the genetic basis of traits of interest.
