SUMMARYA study of 76 F1 hybrids involving four sources of cytoplasmic male sterility and 19 male-fertility restorers indicated great diversity among the cytoplasms for total soluble solids. The exploitation of cytoplasms other than milo is recommended for breeding programmes aimed at high total soluble solids content. Most of the Indian restorers showed significant positive general combining ability (GCA) effects, whereas exotic restorers showed negative GCA effects for total soluble solids content.

This study was conducted to evaluate 28 sweet corn hybrid combinations to determine the combination ability of 8 lines of sweet corn inbred (K60, R111, N1, N4, N5, N7, N8 and N12) of a S8generation. The results showed that the yield of hybrid combinations was in a range of 14.2 to 23.7 tons/ha. Especially, the hybrid combination THL9 had a yield of 23.7 tons/ha, reached the soluble solids content of 13.9%. Meanwhile, the yield of the hybrid combination THL14 reached 21.4 tons/ha and its soluble solids content reached 13.6%. This result was higher than Golden Cob which was the control variable in this study, and had a yield of 17.4 tons/ha and a soluble solids content of 12.2%.Evaluating the combining ability of the yield and total soluble solids content of 8 lines of sweet corn showed that the N4 lines had a higher combining ability than the other lines in terms of fresh corn yield and total soluble solids content. R111 line and N4 line could combine good productivity (ˆSij: 2,433∗) and total soluble solids content (ˆSij reached 0.963∗)

Alternative Solutions

ABSTRACT Plastic packaging from petroleum derives used in the food industry represents serious environmental problems. Alternative solutions to these problems consist of the development of biodegradable packaging, such as films and edible coatings including the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). In this research we evaluated the effect of the PVA application by two different techniques aiming to increase shelf life of ripe tomatoes, cultivar Carmen. The methodology of this study consisted in covering tomatoes with a PVA solution and also with PVA impregnated tracing paper. The different fruit lots were kept in polystyrene trays for 19 days on a laboratory bench at a controlled temperature of 25±3ºC. The fruit analyzes were compared to the control fruits without any treatment, being evaluated firmness, pH, titratable total acidity, mass loss, total soluble solids content, water activity and color determination of fruit surface. Among the different treatments, the PVA coating applied directly to the fruits contributed to control the firmness and the mass loss, as well as this treatment influenced the total soluble solids content, the luminosity and the red color of fruits with statistical difference compared to the control and covered with tracing paper (with or without PVA). The PVA coating solution applied directly on the fruits contributed to maintain the postharvest quality of the ripe tomatoes.

Mango is one of the main fruits grown in Chad. However, it is prone to high post-harvest losses due to lack of adequate distribution networks, appropriate harvesting and conservation methods. The objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of coatings based on extracts of Allium sativum (garlic), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Spirulina platensis (spirulina) on their conservation. Shelf life, weight loss, firmness, pH and total soluble solids content of mangoes were evaluated. The coated mangoes had excellent brillance compared to control mangoes. The coatings based on the extracts of A. sativum, S. platensis and Z. officinale increased respectively the means shelf life of mangoes to 18, 19 and 24 days. Weight losses were 21% for control mangoes while they were 13% for mangoes coated using mixture containing extracts of A. sativum and S. platensis and 11% for mangoes coated with Z. officinale. Coatings based on extracts of Z. officinale and S. platensis had statistically comparable effects on the firmness of mangoes but significantly higher than those of A. sativum extracts and controls after the 10th day. pH values and total soluble solids content (TSSC) values of control mangoes were significantly higher than those of coated mangoes. On day 10 after treatment, chlorophylls were absent from the peel of control mangoes whereas they were still present in the peel of coated mangoes. The mangoes coated with extract of Z. officinale reached a shelf life of 24 days. This shelf life was significantly higher than that of mangoes coated with other types of extracts and control mangoes. The coating with Z. officinale extract slowed considerably the ripening of mangoes. It can be recommended for conservation of mangoes in fresh.

Surveys carried out in different microregions of Maranhão highlight papaya as one of the fruits with the postharvest losses estimates. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the efficiency of plastic packaging on postharvest conservation of Hawaii papaya to instruct the Maranhão retail market about viable alternatives to mitigate losses related to this fruit. The papayas were purchased from CEASA of São Luís and sent to the laboratory. Posteriorly, they were randomly separated into 65 groups of 2 units, and then, applying the coverings are made. The experimental design was completely randomized in a split-plot at 4x5 times, with four treatment control [(without packaging), plastic film (FP), hermetic-bag (SH), and perforated-bag (SP)] and five evaluation periods (3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days of storage); four repetitions and 2-fruits per portion (tray). For the individual biometric characterization, was carried out the measuring of the longitudinal and transverse diameters, fresh mass, pulp yield, seed mass, firmness, and fruit mass loss. Furthermore, for chemical analysis, total soluble solids content, total titratable acidity, and pH were measured. It was found, at the end of the study, that the hermetic-bag is efficient for maintaining the loss of fresh mass, firmness, ripening, total soluble solids content, total titratable acidity, and pH, which are relevant attributes of quality for commercialization of the Hawaii papaya. Therefore, the use of the hermetic-bag is recommended to increase the postharvest shelf life of Hawaii papaya fruit under stored at room conditions and at least for 15 days.

Apple (Malus ? domestica Borkh.) is economically the most important species of genus Malus Miller. Developing new apple genotypes is carried out on a large scale in many scientific institutes throughout the world. ?Jonathan? is one of four cultivars which have been used as the most frequent progenitors in apple breeding programmes worldwide. The paper presents six promising apple selections bred at Fruit Research Institute, and ?Jonathan? as the parental cultivar. The assessed selections derived from the crosses ?Jonathan? ? ?Idared? (J/3/60 and J/2/53), [?Jonathan? ? J/54/53/59] ? J/27/127/62 (J/4/106) and ?Jonathan? ? J/54/53/59 (J/1/55, J/1/71 and J/1/15). Major phenological properties (flowering phenophase and harvest time), cropping and pomological properties (morphometrical and chemical characteristics of fruits) were assessed. The highest fruit weight (J/2/53; 188.4 g) and yield per unit area (J/3/60; 34 t ha-1) were reported in selections derived from the cross ?Jonathan? ? ?Idared?. Selections raised from a cross between ?Jonathan? and J/54/53/59 have high quality fruits. The highest soluble solids content was found in J/1/55 (15.3%), while the highest total sugars and acids content was evidenced in J/1/71 (9.61%; 1.46%, respectively).

Allium plants possess organosulfur compounds and carbohydrates that provide unique flavor and health-enhancing properties. In previous studies of onion F3 families, significant phenotypic and genetic correlations have been reported between pungency, in vitro antiplatelet activity (IVAA), and soluble solids content (SSC); although in other studies SSC and pungency have not always been correlated. In this study we analyzed SSC, pungency, garlic-induced in vitro antiplatelet activity and the content of three predominant thiosulfinates in bulbs from two garlic families obtained from unrelated self-pollinated plants. A strong positive correlation was observed between pungency and IVAA for both sample sets, indicating that it will be difficult to develop garlic populations with low pungency and high IVAA. Allicin was the most abundant thiosulfinate and its content was positively correlated with pungency and IVAA (r= 0.70 and 0.74, respectively). The thiosulfinates AllS(O)SPropenyl and AllS(O)SMe were also positively correlated with pungency and IVAA. When compared with IVAA, AllS(O)SMe had higher r values than AllS(O)SPropenyl (0.88 and 0.50, respectively). These differences could reflect differential platelet anti-aggregatory properties of different thiosulfinates. SSC was not correlated with IVAA, pungency, or thiosulfinates content, suggesting that soluble solids in garlic can be independently selected.

ABSTRACT: This study carried out agronomic evaluation and estimated the combining ability of tomato lines for the industrial segment, aiming to elect promising genotypes for breeding and to find simple hybrids with superior traits. Randomized-blocks design was used with 57 treatments (45 experimental hybrids, 10 lines and 2 checks treatments) with 3 replications. A complete diallel among 10 tomato lines for processing was used. Evaluated traits were: fruit total (YT) and commercial production (YC), pulp yield (YP), fruit average mass (MM) and total soluble solids content (TSS). Diallel crosses allowed synthesizing experimental hybrids with superior traits when compared to commercial hybrids. Non-additive effects prevailed over the expression of YT, YC, YP and TSS, whereas additive effects prevailed for MM. Lines RVT-08, RVT-05 and RVT-10 are most appropriate for intrapopulational breeding. Experimental hybrids RVT-08 x RVT-09, RVT-07 x RVT-10 and RVT-08 x RVT-10 were pointed as the experimental genotypes with the best performance, surpassing the commercial genotypes for the traits evaluated.
