Watercore distribution inside the fruit (block or radial), and its incidence were related to the solar radiation effect inside the canopy by the development of a low cost set of irradiation sensors. Several samples were harvested from the top and the bottom of the canopy and were submitted to the non-invasive and non-destructive technique of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in order to obtain 20 slices of inner tomography and to analyze the damaged areas using an interactive 3D segmentation method, aiming at understanding whether the solar radiation affects the watercore development. The percentage of damage was calculated and it was resolved that apples from the top of the tree presented more watercore than apples from the bottom. From the image segmentation, a morphometric parameter, such as Euler number, was extracted as related to the type of watercore development, block or radial. According to the Euler number the type of watercore development is defined, as apples with block watercore are grouped on Euler numbers between-400 and 400 with a small evolution. For apples with radial development, the Euler number has a wider range (from-1439 to 400). Differences are also found regarding sugar composition with higher content of total sugar amount in apples from the top of the tree, compared to lower canopy location. Higher contents of sorbitol and lower contents on sucrose and fructose were found in watercore affected tissue (31.67± 2.93, 18.03 ± 2.81 and 56.90 ± 1.67 g/kg FW respectively) compared to healthy tissue of affected apples (18.43 ± 2.93, 28.23 ± 2.81 and 67.97 ± 1.67 g/kg FW respectively) and to healthy apples (23.25 ± 3.90, 38.15 ± 3.75 and 69.05 ± 2.22 g/kg FW respectively).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
