“…Annona atemoya , a fruitful plant of the annonacear family, is a hybrid of cherimoya ( A. cherimola ) and sugar apple ( A. squamosal ), and has temperature and humidity tolerance suitable for cultivation in tropical climates [12]. Moreover, economically, this genus is the most important of the family Annonaceae due to its edible fruits and medicinal properties [13,14,15]. Additionally, A. atemoya is cultivated and distributed in Jeju in Korea, Taiwan, and tropical areas such as Cuba and Jamaica [16,17].…”

We explored the preventative effect of Annona atemoya leaf (AAL) extract on memory impairment in a scopolamine (SCO)-induced cognitive deficit mouse model. Fifty-eight mice were randomly divided into six groups and orally treated with AAL extract at (50, 100, or 200 mg/kg) or tacrine (TAC) for 21 days. Memory deficits were induced by a single injection of 1 mg/kg SCO (i.p.) and memory improvement was evaluated by using behavioral tests such as the passive avoidance task and Y-maze test. The levels of cholinergic functions, neuronal cell death, reactive oxygen species, and protein expression related to hippocampal neurogenesis were examined by immunohistochemical staining and western blotting. The administration of AAL extract improved memory impairment according to increased spontaneous alternation in the Y-maze and step-through latency in passive avoidance test. AAL extract treatment increased the acetylcholine content, choline acetyltransferase, and acetylcholinesterase activity in the hippocampus of SCO-stimulated mice. In addition, AAL extract attenuated oxidative stress-induced neuronal cell death of hippocampal tissue. In terms of the regulatory mechanisms, AAL extract treatment reversed the SCO-induced decreases in the expression of Akt, phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding protein, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Our findings demonstrate that AAL extract has the ability to alleviate memory impairment through preventative effect on cholinergic system dysfunction and oxidative stress-related neuronal cell death in a SCO-induced memory deficit animal model. Overall, AAL may be a promising plant resource for the managing memory dysfunction due to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

“…It inhibits ethylene responses by competitively binding to ethylene receptor in plant cells. 1‐MCP vapor fumigation is effective at low volumes, making its treatment safe for human health . The use of 1‐MCP for storage or for long‐distance transport appears to be promising; however, its effects on the subsequent cut product have not been explored well.…”

Quality of fresh‐cut products as affected by harvest and postharvest operations

There is a rising demand for fresh-cut convenience products with high quality and nutritional standards that needs to be met by the fresh-cut industry. It is well known that harvest and postharvest handling of fresh produce has a paramount impact on its quality and storage, although most of the existing literature has focused on these impacts related only to fresh produce that is destined for the final consumers. Indeed, current harvest methods and postharvest technologies have improved fruit and vegetable handling and distribution processes by slowing down physiological processes and senescence. Nonetheless, these technologies and methods may influence the quality of fresh produce as raw material for fresh-cut processing as a result of the dynamic responses of fresh produce to handling procedures and treatments. Here, we review the existing literature on the challenges facing the fresh-cut industry, focusing on the impact of harvest, maturity, and handling of fruit and vegetables on the quality of raw materials, as well as the implications for fresh-cut products. The review also highlights areas for further research with the aim of enhancing the sensorial, nutritional and biochemical quality of such products. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Sugar apple ( Annona squamosa L.) (2n = 14) is a tropical fruit species in the family Annonaceae. Seedless fruits have been described for some spontaneous mutants of A. squamosa whose origin is still unknown (Pinto et al, 2005; Wongs-Aree and Noichinda, 2011; Lora et al, 2018; Pereira and Borém, 2021). They include the Cuban cultivar Cuban seedless (Cs), with good fruit characteristics but lower productivity than fertile cultivars (Araújo et al, 1999); Brazilian seedless (Bs) originally identified in northeast Brazil, which produces small, asymmetric fruits that frequently perish (Santos, 2014); the Thai seedless (Ts) mutant that produces normal size fruits (Lora et al 2011) among other types with apparently similar fruits, such as in the Philippines and Hawaii (Pinto et al, 2005; this work).…”

Understanding the genetic basis and inheritance of a trait facilitates the planning of breeding and development programs of new cultivars. In the sugar apple tree (Annona squamosa L.), the mechanism of the desirable seedless trait in the Thai seedless (Ts) and Brazilian seedless (Bs) accessions was associated with a deletion of the INNER NO OUTER (INO) locus. Genetic analysis of F1, F2 and backcross descendants of crosses of Bs to fertile wild-type varieties showed that seedlessness was recessive and monogenic. Whole genome sequencing of a third accession, Hawaiian seedless (Hs), identified a 16 kilobase deletion including INO. The finding of an identical deletion in Ts and Bs indicated a common origin among genotypes, from a single deletion event. Analysis of microsatellite markers could not preclude the possibility that all three accessions are vegetatively propagated clones. The sequence of the deletion site enabled formulation of a codominant assay for the wild-type and mutant genes that validated the INO gene deletion as the cause of seedless trait, and can be used in the selection of new seedless varieties. The study findings and obtained progenies should be useful in breeding and introgression programs of the trait into elite sugar apple lines and into other Annonas by means of interspecific crossings.
