Characterization of guava plants belonging to a germplasm bank and cultivated in an organic system

Influência de diferentes concentrações de fécula de mandioca sob a qualidade pós-colheita da goiaba paluma

“…A goiabeira (Psidium guajava L.) é uma fruteira nativa da América do Sul e Central, é a mais importante do gênero Psidium e da família Myrtaceae, caracterizada por ser resistente a seca e à altas temperaturas (Bishnoi et al, 2015). É uma espécie bastante importante nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais se destacando por sua excelente qualidade nutricional pelo seu alto valor nutritivo (rico em vitaminas A, C, ferro, cálcio e fósforo), e pelas propriedades sensoriais, alto rendimento por área e polpa com elevada qualidade industrial (doces, geleias e sucos), além de possuir alta aceitação do mercado consumidor por ser uma fruta altamente saborosa (Galli et al, 2015).…”

Genetic diversity of common guava in Kenya: an underutilized naturalized fruit species

“…Cultivars grown are widely diverse regarding tree size, bearing habit, and yield, as well as fruit size, shape, ripening season and quality in terms of nutrient composition (Pommer and Murakami, 2009;Sharma et al, 2010). Irrespective of the morphological and chemical diversities observed in these cultivars, several reports indicated that selection of the accessions was based on a few important morphological traits such as fruit size and shape, flesh thickness, skin and flesh colour (Mehmood et al, 2013(Mehmood et al, , 2015Galli et al, 2015;Valera-Montero et al, 2016). The important chemical traits included total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), and ascorbic acid content (Mehmood et al, 2013).…”

Assessment of genetic and nutritional diversity, and salinity tolerance of Kenyan guava (Psidium guajava L.): an underutilized naturalized fruit species

“…Irrespective of the morphological and nutritional diversities observed in these cultivars, several reports indicate that selection of the accessions was based on a few morphological traits that were considered important (e.g. Mehmood et al 2013;Galli et al 2015;Mehmood et al 2015;Valera-Montero et al 2016), and, therefore, much of the variation is left untapped. This is likely to lead to genetic vulnerability of the crop (Nogueira et al 2014), especially with respect to climate change.…”
