This book was released on 2011-10-19 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We initiated research studies on the postharvest physiology of cut flowers almost 20 years ago, when the floriculture industry in Poland began to grow. At that time, like most flower growers in our country, we discovered cut flowers preserve their good appearance longer if kept in a vase with water rather than in dry storage. We then began intensive reading of various horticultural and other specialty journals, and we learned that many scientists had made the same dis covery long before and had gone even further, showing that sucrose and certain chemicals added to the vase water prolong the vase life of flowers much better than water alone. In the meantime, we learned that in the Netherlands, the United States, Israel, and elsewhere, great progress has been made in the postharvest treatment of flowers through the use of floral preserva tives; grading, packing, and transportation procedures; and the organization of trade. In all these countries, researchers generously offered their information to growers, wholesalers, florists, and indi vidual flower lovers eager to improve flower quality and keepability. We collected much of the practical information from various countries with the intention of using it in research projects con cerning the postharvest physiology of floricultural commodities.

Download or read book Crop Post Harvest Science and Technology Volume 3 written by Debbie Rees and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-03-26 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International trade in high value perishables has grown enormously in the past few decades. In the developed world consumers now expect to be able to eat perishable produce from all parts of the world, and in most cases throughout the year. Perishable plant products are, however, susceptible to physical damage and often have a potential storage life of only a few days. Given their key importance in the world economy, Crop Post-Harvest Science and Technology: Perishables devotes itself to perishable produce, providing current and comprehensive knowledge on all the key factors affecting post-harvest quality of fruits and vegetables. This volume focuses explicitly on the effects and causes of deterioration, as well as the many techniques and practices implemented to maintain quality though correct handling and storage. As highlighted throughout, regular losses caused by post-harvest spoilage of perishable products can be as much as 50%. A complete understanding, as provided by this excellent volume, is therefore vital in helping to reduce these losses by a significant percentage. Compiled by members of the world-renowned Natural Resources Institute at the United Kingdom's University of Greenwich, with contributions from experts around the world, this volume is an essential reference for all those working in the area. Researchers and upper-level students in food science, food technology, post-harvest science and technology, crop protection, applied biology and plant and agricultural sciences will benefit from this landmark publication. Libraries in all research establishments and universities where these subjects are studied and taught should ensure that they have several copies for their shelves.

This book was released on 2023-11-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxygen, Nitrogen and Sulfur Species in Post-harvest Physiology of Horticultural Crops, a volume in the Plant Gasotransmitter series, analyzes the latest advances in post-harvest physiology. The book presents metabolic cascades and highlights the role of gasotransmitters as intercellular regulators of metabolic processes. Post-harvest physiology differs between climacteric and non-climacteric fruits and vegetables, as well as for fresh-cut flowers and non-food plants. Initial chapters review the cascades, intercellular pathways and messenger molecules that drive ripeness and longevity, presenting the chemistry behind key pathways. The books also takes a deep dive into core gasotransmitters, describing the data behind known properties, chemistry and physiological roles. Applications for prolonging shelf-life via the control of post-harvest fungi, bacteria and omics approaches are reviewed in detail, offering readers guidance on how to put gasotransmitters research into practice. This is an essential resource for students, researchers and agronomists interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and plant hormones. Describes the use and application of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur species towards the prolonging of post-harvest shelf-life in agricultural products Explores eco-friendly alternatives to hazardous chemical compounds used to preserve fruits Presents metabolic cascades and evaluates the crosstalk and interaction of gasotransmitters within these cascades
