Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) cultivars native to Hungary and some of them grown worldwide, display great phenotypic variability. Eleven sour cherry cultivars were analysed for their main quality attributes including fruit weight, soluble solid content, acidity, pH, specific sugars (glucose and fructose), antioxidant capacity as well as total polyphenolic (TPC), total anthocyanin (TMAC) and vitamin C contents. Results showed wide variation in both fruit quality and antioxidant parameters of Hungarian sour cherries. The anthocyanin contents varied from 11.3 to 93.5 mg ⁄ 100 g. An amarelle-type cultivar, 'Pipacs 1' showed the highest antioxidant capacity (21.85 mmol AA L )1 ), TPC (49.04 mg GA L )1 ) and vitamin C (8.98 mg ⁄ 100 g) content. Key enzymes in anthocyanin biosynthesis were expressed in both yellow-coloured flesh and red skin of 'Pipacs 1' fruits at all ripening stages. The detected diversity presents a choice that can satisfy different consumer preferences, and meet specific nutritional requirements.
Summary — Honey production of 23 honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies was recorded for 2 consecutive years. Brood areas and colony populations were measured during the honeyflow.One-, 2-, and 3-yr-old queens were used. The mean honey production was 120.2 kg per colony, varying from 60.9 to 210.8 kg. The
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.
