IJERPH, Vol. 18, Pages 9174: Listeria monocytogenes Survival on Peaches and Nectarines under Conditions Simulating Commercial Stone-Fruit Packinghouse Operations
aradjou
Recent recalls of stone fruit due to potential Listeria contamination and associated foodborne outbreaks highlight the risk for pathogen transmission through stone-fruit consumption. Particularly, surface contamination of fruits increases the risk for cross-contamination of produce during processing and storage. This highlights the need for quality control in stone fruits intended for consumption. To develop effective food safety practices, it is essential to determine the critical factors during stone-fruit processing that influence Listeria survival. Therefore, this study evaluated the ability of Listeria to ...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 4183: GC-MS Metabolic Profile and α-Glucosidase-, α-Amylase-, Lipase-, and Acetylcholinesterase-Inhibitory Activities of Eight Peach Varieties
ert Krastanov
The inhibition of certain digestive enzymes by target food matrices represents a new approach in the treatment of socially significant diseases. Proving the ability of fruits to inhibit such enzymes can support the inclusion of specific varieties in the daily diets of patients with diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, etc., providing them with much more than just valuable micro- and macromolecules. The current study aimed atidentifying and comparing the GC-MS metabolic profiles of eight peach varieties (“Filina”, “Ufo 4, “Gergana”, “Laskava”, “July Lady”, “Flat Queen”, “Evmolp...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 4128: Varietal and Geographical Origin Characterization of Peaches and Nectarines by Combining Analytical Techniques and Statistical Approach
Agnese Magnani
Prunus persica L. is one of the most important fruit crops in European production, after grapes, apples, oranges and watermelons. Most varieties are rich in secondary metabolites, showing antioxidant properties for human health. The purpose of this study was to develop a chemical analysis methodology, which involves the use of different analytical-instrumental techniques to deepen the knowledge related to the profile of metabolites present in selected cultivars of peaches and nectarines cultivated in the Mediterranean area (Southern Italy). The comparative study was conducted by choosing yellow-fleshe...

Genes, Vol. 12, Pages 482: Regulation of Fruit Growth in a Peach Slow Ripening Phenotype
ena Varotto
Consumers’ choices are mainly based on fruit external characteristics such as the final size, weight, and shape. The majority of edible fruit are by tree fruit species, among which peach is the genomic and genetic reference for Prunus. In this research, we used a peach with a slow ripening (SR) phenotype, identified in the Fantasia (FAN) nectarine, associated with misregulation of genes involved in mesocarp identity and showing a reduction of final fruit size. By investigating the ploidy level, we observed a progressive increase in endoreduplication in mesocarp, which occurred in the late phases of FAN fr...

The Chilean plants Discaria chacaye, Talguenea quinquenervia (Rhamnaceae), Peumus boldus (Monimiaceae), and Cryptocarya alba (Lauraceae) were evaluated against Codling moth: Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae), which is one of the most widespread and destructive primary pests of Prunus (plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, almonds), pear, walnuts, and chestnuts, among other. Four benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (coclaurine, laurolitsine, boldine, and pukateine) were isolated from the above mentioned plant species and evaluated re...

Variations in Mineral/heavy metals profiling and preventive role of trichomes in Peach Fruits treated with CaC2.
CONCLUSION: Conclusively, the artificial ripening with CaC2 changed the nutritional value of peach fruits that has higher health risks if consume with the peel. According to our best knowledge, this is the first report that highlights the effects of CaC2 which deteriorate the nutritional value of peach fruits in Pakistan.

Balance between resilient fruit surface microbial community and population of Monilinia spp. after biopesticide field applications of Penicillium frequentans.
Abstract
The microbial variability on the host plant surface must be maintained because population diversity and quantity are essential to avoid disease development. It would be necessary to examine the patterns and mechanisms associated with the massive and reiterative introduction of a microbial pest control agent. The effect of inundative releases of biopesticide formulations containing Penicillium frequentans for the control of Monilinia spp. populations, and the effect on fruit surface microbiota on 18 stone fruit field experiments located in four European countries for more than two crop seasons agai...

Complete genome sequence of almond luteovirus 1, a novel luteovirus infecting almond
In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of a novel luteovirus detected in almond using high-throughput sequencing. The genome of the new luteovirus comprises 5,047 nucleotides, and its genomic organization is similar to that of the recently described nectarine stem pitting associated virus (NSPaV), with only four open reading frames, encoding replication-related proteins, the coat protein (CP), and a CP readthrough protein involved in the aphid transmission of luteovirids. Phylogenic and pairwise distance analyses showed that this virus shares 79% and 57.8% amino acid identity in the P1-P2 fusion protein and ...
