Use of Abscisic Acid on Climacteric (Apple) and Non-Climacteric (Cherry) Fruits

<i>n</i>-Propyl dihydrojasmonates influence ethylene signal transduction in infected apple fruit by <i>Botrytis cinerea</i>

“…ABA can regulate abiotic and biotic stresses in fruit and can also regulate maturation processes in nonclimacteric fruit such as grapes, strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) and cherries (Prunus avium) (Li et al, 2011;Wheeler et al, 2009;Falchi et al, 2014). ABA treatment increased the pathogen resistance of fruit (Sivakumaran et al, 2016;Lievens et al, 2017).…”

Plant growth regulators to enhance fruit color of 'Gala' apples

“…In both evaluated seasons, the lowest chlorophyll degradation was observed in control fruits. Research results obtained in Turkey also showed the efficiency of prohydrojasmonate to enhance red color of Mondial Gala cultivar (Atay, 2015), and the results obtained in Italy with Gala Brookfield cultivar also confirmed the effect of abscisic acid on improving the red color of fruits (Falchi et al, 2014).…”

“…In the main apple-producing regions of the world, studies are being carried out to determine the effect of jasmonates and abscisic acid on fruit ripening. For example, in the United States, their positive effects were detected for Fuji and Buckeye Gala cultivars (Rudell & Mattheis, 2008;Francescatto, 2013); and in Turkey and Italy, positive effects were found for Gala cultivar and its clones Mondial and Brookfield (Falchi et al, 2014;Atay, 2015). However, studies focusing on fruit maturation associated with the use of these plant growth regulators have not yet been conducted in Brazil.…”
