“…(2012) reported that the in orescence is tomentose and appears on branches and the length of in orescences of the Burmese grape is similar with the present experiment and the variation of number of owers present in a panicle may be due to the genetic differences of the germplasms surveyed. Time of owering observed in this investigation is with the same line as reported by Bhowmick (2009) during March-April. Chakraborty and Gangopadhyay (1997) reported that the owers are claui orous in nature and are 10 to 40 cm long.…”

“…The ndings regarding germplasm variation showed that the fruits of Baccaurea were sub-globose, ovoid, ellipsoid or obovoid in shape and are 15-30 mm long and 15 to 25 mm broad are having similar trends reported by Chakraborty and Gangopadhyay (1997). In a study, Bhowmick (2009) reported that the colour of the Burmese grape fruits is yellow or yellowish brown at ripening. The colour variation of different fruit crops due to germplasm variability was also observed by several scientists (Dhillon and Dhillon, 2008;Shyamali et al 2009).…”

“…In India it is grown as a minor underexploited fruit crop under the sub-Himalayan Terai region of West Bengal and north east India, Andaman Island for fresh local consumption. It is a slow growing, evergreen, dioecious, short to medium height, shade loving plant species, and fruits are acidic in taste (Bhowmick, 2009). Apart from fresh consumption the fruits can be used for making wine, juice and jams.…”

Burmese grape (Baccaurea sapida Muell. Arg.) belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae, is a minor underexploited fruit crop grown wild as well as under cultivation in Nepal, India, Myanmar, Bangladesh, China, Thailand, for fresh consumption. It is a dioecious plant and reported to have an excellent nutritive value, but mainly grown in homestead condition mostly in neglected ways without fullest utilization of its potentiality. The present study was aimed to understand and first time characterize the germplasm nature, and details of flowering and fruiting system of Burmese grape. The experiment showed that, tree growth habit and crown shape of all the accessions surveyed were semi erect and irregular, respectively. The flower bud differentiation in male and female accessions started during the mid February and anthesis occurred from mid March for both male and female accessions. The colour of the male flowers varied from yellow to green yellow shades while the colour of the female flowers varied from yellow to yellow green and green yellow shades. Significant variation of leaf area, number of flowers per panicle, length and diameter of inflorescence, fruit length, breadth, weight etc. were observed. The variation present on fruit length (2.81 cm to 3.80 cm), fruit weight (12.25g to 22.95g), pulp percentage (49.82% to 65.33%), total soluble solids (9.00º to 13.10ºBrix), tritable acidity (0.73mg to 1.28mg/100g fruit pulp) and ascorbic acid content ranged from (23.18mg to 57.80mg/100g fruit pulp) suggest suitable selection method for identification of promising Burmese grape genotypes.

“…It is a slow‐growing, evergreen, dioecious, short‐to‐medium height, shade‐loving plant species. Compared with other underutilized fruit crops, Burmese grape has potential and is grown mainly in homestead conditions in this region (Bhowmick, 2011). It blooms in the summer, and the fruit ripens during the rainy season.…”

Fruit traits diversity in Burmese grape through multivariate analysis

et al. 2021

Burmese grape (Baccaurea ramiflora Lour.) is a minor fruit plant grown in subtropical countries and is rich in different vitamins and minerals. In this study, fruit traits diversity of 23 Burmese grape accessions were assessed through multivariate analysis and application of covariance matrix in locating promising parents for an auspicious crossing program. Among the four clusters, assemblages III and VI dominated maximum number of fruit traits constitutions. Surrounded by the fruit traits constitution, the first principal axis largely affords 46.14% of the variation. Intergenotypic gap was observed highest (30.42) between the fruit traits constitution BS004 and BS019, followed by genetic constitution BS003 and BS004 (29.40). The maximum intracluster distance was noticed (40.50) for cluster IV, whereas cluster I showed the lowest intracluster distance (35.32). In between assemblages I and V, the highest interassemblage distance (835.77) was computed. On the other hand, the lowest distance (105.75) was computed between assemblages II and assemblage V. Observation indicated that higher intercluster differences were noticed than intracluster differences, and this recommended ample fruit traits variation among the fruit traits constitution of different clusters. With respect to both quantitative parameters' assemblage, CL004, CL010 from cluster I was quite diverse compared with all other assemblages, which is pertinent for a productive crossing program. INTRODUCTIONAmong all other minor fruits, Burmese grape (Baccaurea ramiflora Lour.) has a potential position in the fruit culture of Bangladesh. The plant belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae with a slightly biennial nature as a result of cultivation (Pal et al., 2008). It is an important and underutilized fruit plant of the Southeast Asian region that grows both wild and through cultivation, mainly in Bangladesh,

“…Fruits are greenish in colour, single seeded, the shape resembles olive fruit, outer surface contain fleshy mesocarp. There is a good demand for matured fruit in the local market for the preparation of pickles and chutney (Bhowmick, 2011). The total area under fruit crops is 6428 ha and production is 9488 t in India (Anonymous, 2018), out of which the northern parts of West Bengal comprises around 33% area and 36% of production.…”

The experiment was conducted during 2015-16 in the laboratory of Department of Pomology and Postharvest Technology, Horticulture, Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya to study the effect of different Coating elements on shelf life of Indian Olive (Elaeocarpus floribundus Blume). Among 13 different treatments, spoilage % was minimum in Guar gum and highest (65%) occurred in Control. At the end of storage weight loss of chitosan treated fruits were lower than the other treatments, in control it was 47.09%. A combination treatment of paraffin liquid and calcium chloride and uncoated fruits resulted in highest disease incidence (30%). At the last day of storage lowest (6.04%) total sugar percentage was seen in Control whereas highest (6.29%) was seen in CaCl 2 and Guar gum treated fruit. Reducing sugar was found lowest (3.19%) in Calcium chloride (2%) (w/v)+Paraffin liquid (5%)(v/v) and Calcium chloride (2%) (w/v)+Chitosan (2%) (w/v), where as highest reducing sugar was seen in Calcium chloride (1%)(w/v)+Paraffin liquid (5%)(v/v) at the final day of storage. The maximum (3.01%) non-reducing sugar was found in Gum tragacanth (2%) followed by Calcium chloride (2%) (w/v)+Paraffin liquid (5%)(3.01%) and the lowest (2.74%) was seen in Calcium chloride (1%)(w/v)+Paraffin liquid (5%)(v/v). Ascorbic acid was highest (20.86 g 100 g-1 of pulp) in Calcium chloride (2%) (w/v)+Chitosan (2%)(w/v) and Calcium chloride (2%) (w/v)+Parafin liquid and it was lowest (18.2 g 100 g of pulp-1) in Control. The lowest (1.25%) acid content was present in Calcium chloride (2%) (w/v)+Guar gum (2%) (w/v), highest (1.93%) was seen in Calcium chloride (1%) (w/v)+Chitosan (2%)(w/v). Maximum (387.633 g) penetration force was seen in Calcium chloride (1%) (w/v)+Guar gum (2%) (w/v) and minimum (241.067 g) was in Control.
