Fruit characteristics of fig cultivars and genotypes grown in Turkey

Evaluation of agronomic and fruit quality traits of fig tree varieties (Ficus carica L.) grown in Mediterranean conditions

“…'Brown Turkey' and 'Banane' were the varieties with the heaviest and widest fruits for both crops, followed by 'Tiberio' in brebas and 'San Antonio' in figs. These values were higher than those obtained by Çalişkan & Polat (2008) and Küden et al (2008) in varieties grown in Turkey, and similar to those obtained by Crisosto et al (2010) in varieties grown in California (USA). Both weight and width are parameters of interest for fruit marketing since the grower receives higher prices for fruits with higher weight and size and, additionally, can select and…”

“…'De Rey' was the variety with the highest TSS values for both crops, followed by 'Cuello Dama Blanco' and 'Tres Voltas L'Any'. In general, these values were lower than those obtained by Çalişkan & Polat (2008Çalişkan & Polat ( , 2012 in different varieties grown in Turkey. However, the TSS values obtained in this study for 'Cuello Dama Blanco', 'Brown Turkey' and' Cuello Dama Negro' were higher than those obtained by Crisosto et al (2010) for the same varieties grown in California.…”

“…Also, the development of appropriate postharvest techniques would help to preserve and prolong the life of the fruit, promoting access to new markets (Crisosto et al, 2011;Villalobos et al, 2014). Countries like Turkey, Israel, Egypt, USA and Chile have studied varieties and cultivation techniques to improve productivity and fruit quality in new commercial plantations (Assaf, 2001;Botti et al, 2003;Çalişkan & Polat, 2008;Flaishman et al, 2008;Abo-el-ez et al, 2013). In Spain, studies have concentrated primarily on the identification and characterisation of plant genetic resources of this species (Giraldo et al, 2008; and the application of various techniques for fruit conservation (Villalobos, 2015), with very few studies related to agronomic behaviour, cultivation techniques or improving productivity (Puebla et al, 2003;Valdés et al, 2009).…”

Assessments of Biodiversity Based on Molecular Markers and Morphological Traits among West-Bank, Palestine Fig Genotypes (Ficus carica L.)

“…Such a high degree of morphological variation and fruit characteristics could be utilized to interest farmers in diversifying fig genotypes [37], increasing fig production [34], and stimulating attraction of consumers for fresh fruit consumption. Additionally, the majority of our genotypes presented firm fruits, short fruit neck, and acceptable TSS ( Table 5), which are very important quality criterion particularly for exporting purposes.…”

Effect of Packaging Systems with High CO2Treatment on the Quality Changes of Fig (Ficus carica L) during Storage

“…환경조건에서 완숙된 과실을 수확하기 때문에 품질열화가 급속히 진행되고 무화과 과피가 얇고 과육이 연하여 유통과 정에 손상이 많이 발생하므로 장거리 유통에 어려움이 있다 (2,3). 수확 후 과실은 호흡작용, 증산작용, 에틸렌 생합성 등과 같은 생리적 대사활동이 지속적으로 진행됨에 따라 영양성분의 변화와 수분손실, 과피색 및 경도변화, 부패미 생물의 성장과 같은 영향으로 과실의 품질저하가 수반된다 (4).…”
