“…Previous studies have similarly reported an increase in this compound as a result of damage caused by mechanical injury (Piesik et al, 2006). It is also not uncommon for such stress responses to remain active for days or even weeks after the initial damage (Pantastico, 1979;Scherrer-Montero, 2011;Chamhum Salomão, 2014).…”

“…In addition, the storage temperature of 22 °C increased and showed a five-fold increment in the rate of CO 2 production in pomegranates compared to those stored at 5 °C. Mechanical damage such as bruising can influence the RR of different fresh produce [ 8 ]. The present study’s findings support the results recorded by Hussein et al [ 9 ], which stated that pomegranate fruit bruised at higher impact levels showed a two- to three-fold higher RR than non-bruised fruit.…”

“…Previous research has shown that the occurrence of bruising can affect the exterior fruit attributes, interior quality deterioration, physiological process alterations, and increase postharvest decay [ 8 ]. Besides, bruising can reduce the weight of different fruit and vegetables, thus reducing their market value [ 9 ].…”

Mechanical damage resulting from excessive impact force during handling and other postharvest operations from harvesting to consumption is a critical quality problem in fresh produce marketing. The study investigates the impact of bruise damage, storage temperature, and storage period on the physiological responses of Omani pomegranate fruit cultivar ‘Helow’. Fruits were subjected to low (45°; 1.18 J) and high (65°; 2.29 J) impact levels using a pendulum test by hitting the fruit on the cheek side. Bruised and non-bruised fruit were stored at 5 and 22 °C for 28 days. Bruise measurements, water loss per unit mass, water loss per surface area, firmness, fruit size measurements, geometric mean diameter, surface area, fruit volume, color parameters, respiration rate, and ethylene production rate were evaluated. Bruise area, bruise volume, and bruise susceptibility of damaged pomegranate fruit were increased as impact level, storage duration, and storage temperature increased. Pomegranates damaged at a high impact level and conditioned at 22 °C showed 20.39% weight loss on the last day of storage compared to the control and low-impact-bruised fruit. Firmness and geometric mean diameter were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced by bruising at a high impact level. Impact bruising level and storage temperature decreased lightness, yellowness, browning index, and increased redness over time. Furthermore, the respiration rate was five times higher in the non-bruised and low- and high-impact-injured fruit stored at 22 °C than that stored at 5 °C. The ethylene production rate recorded its highest value on day 21 in high-level-impact-bruised pomegranate fruit. The bruise susceptibility was strongly correlated with the majority of the studied parameters. This study can confirm that bruising can affect not only the visual quality characteristics but also the physiological attributes of pomegranate fruit; therefore, much care is required to preserve fresh produce and avoid any mechanical damage and losses during postharvest handling.

“…Compared to other fruit trees, such as apple trees, avocado fruit has an accelerated respiratory rate, a product of the use of fixed carbon and the energy performance achieved in the mitochondria. Besides, an excellent rooting system allows an adequate supply of water and nutrients and favors photosynthetic activity (Blanke et al, 1991;Scherrer et al, 2011); essential for fruit development due to the dry matter is the main parameter for determining the fruit harvest maturity (Carvalho et al, 2014;Liu et al, 1999). Since it has been proven that the rootstock favors the absorption of nutrients and a good connection between the rootstock and the scion is vital for the movement of solutes through the vascular system, there must be no interruptions between them at their point of connection (graft scar) (Silit et al, 2020).…”

Graft compatibility effects on cv. Hass avocado fruit growth

et al. 2023

The rootstock/scion morphological alterations are one of the limitations in the use of grafting, which has been defined as an incompatibility between these two tissues. However the effect of rootstock-scion interactions on reproductive potential, fruit set, yield efficiency, and avocado fruit quality characteristics are complex and poorly understood. This research aimed to evaluate the fruit growth of avocado cv. Hass in trees with incompatibilities between the rootstock and the graft in the main producing regions in Colombia. The split-plot design with a locality-blocking factor was used. The main plot corresponded to the compatibility and harvest factor, and the subplots to the age of fruit development. The statistical analysis consisted of a mixed linear model for the variables of respiratory rate and morphological growth of the fruit, performing a significant multiple difference test using the adjustment for multiplicity by family through Holm’s correction. The compatibility treatment and the harvest season did not affect the fruit respiratory rate nor the variables of growth and development of cv. Hass. However, the age of development significantly affected both the respiratory rate and the variables of fruit growth.
