    • A codominant diagnostic marker for the slow ripening trait in peach 
      Meneses, Claudio; Ulloa Zepeda, Lissette; Cifuentes Esquivel, Alejandra; Infante Espiñeira, Rodrigo; Cantin, Celia M.; Batlle, Ignasi; Arus, Pere; Eduardo, Iban (Springer, 2016)
      The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal ripening process. Individuals with this phenotype are discarded in peach breeding programs. This trait is determined by a ...
    • Melatonin triggers metabolic and gene expression changes leading to improved quality traits of two sweet ... 
      Miranda, Simón; Vilches, Paulina; Suazo, Miriam; Pavez, Leonardo; García, Katherine; Méndez, Marco; González, Mauricio; Meisel, Lee; Defilippi, Bruno G.; Pozo, Talia del (Elsevier, 2020)
      Sweet cherry is a valuable non-climacteric fruit with elevated phytonutrients, whose fruit quality attributes are prone to rapid deterioration after harvest, especially peel damage and water loss of stem. Here the metabolic ...
    • Methyl Jasmonate: An Alternative for Improving the Quality and Health Properties of Fresh Fruits 
      Reyes Díaz, Marjorie; Lobos, Tomás; Cardemil Oliva, Liliana; Nunes-Nesi, Adriano; Retamales, Jorge; Jaakola, Laura; Alberdi, Miren; Ribera Fonseca, Alejandra (MDPI, 2016)
      Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is a plant growth regulator belonging to the jasmonate family. It plays an important role as a possible airborne signaling molecule mediating intra-and inter-plant communications and modulating plant ...
    • Monitoring the Flesh Softening and the Ripening of Peach during the Last Phase of Growth On-tree 
      Pinto, Catalina; Reginato Meza, Gabino; Mesa, Kuren; Shinya Moreno, Paulina; Díaz Otazo, Mariana; Infante Espiñeira, Rodrigo (American Society for Horticultural Science, 2016)
      The aims of this study were to characterize the softening rate of the flesh and some physiological parameters of three peach cultivars during the last phase of on-tree development. During two consecutive seasons, labeled ...
    • Skin color and chlorophyll absorbance: Indices for establishing a harvest date on non-melting peach 
      Pinto, Catalina; Reginato Meza, Gabino; Shinya, Paulina; Mesa Juliani, Karen Fernanda; Díaz, Mariana; Atenas, Catalina; Infante Espiñeira, Rodrigo (Elsevier, 2015)
      The aim of this research was to develop an objective method to determine the best harvest date for nonmelting peach cultivars. For this purpose the absorbance of chlorophyll (IAD) on the skin of ‘Andes Du-1’, ‘Loadel’ ...
    • Sustainable strategies to prevent iron deficiency, improve yield and berry composition in blueberry (Vaccinium ... 
      Michel, Lucía; Peña, Álvaro; Pastenes, Claudio; Berríos, Pablo; Rombolà, Adamo Domenico; Covarrubias, José Ignacio (Frontiers Media, 2019)
      The aim of this investigation was to study the effect of sustainable strategies to correct iron deficiency in blueberries, based on Fe-heme applications or intercropping with graminaceous species, on yield, and berry quality ...
