ABSTRACT: The main focus in lily cultivation has been on flowering attributes and bulb programming has not got a due attention Thus the experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of different storage temperatures and durations along with the two stages of disbudding on bulb development of Asiatic lilium at AICRP floriculture research unit Regional research station Wadura. (SKUAST-K). Freshly harvested bulbs were subjected to four storage temperatures (Ambient, 40C, 00C,-40C) three durations (2, 4 and 6 weeks) and plants were disbudded at first bud appearance and third bud appearance. Results of this Investigation revealed that bulbs stored under ambient conditions sprouted earliest (8.18days) with maximum height (57.60cm) and more leaves plant-1(55.89) whereas earlier flower bud appearance (52.59 days) maximum number of bulbs(3.37), heaviest bulb(97.32g),maximum diameter(4.59cm),increased number of daughter bulbs(3.12) maximum diameter of daughter bulbs (1.36), maximum scale size(1.30cm) and efficient propagation coefficient(3.37) were observed at40C but number of scales per bulb was highest at -40C(14.82). Storage duration on other hand played a pivotal role in bulb production in lilium. Among three storage durations (2, 4 and 6 weeks).Earliest sprouting (8.03days) was observed under six week duration. Maximum plant height (67.84cm) with increased leaf number (72.74) was observed at two week duration. Similarly maximum number of bulbs(4.88),number of daughter bulbs(4.15),number of scales(15.97) and propagation coefficient(4.88) was observed at two week duration and heaviest bulb(102.83g),maximum diameter of bulb (4.89cm) and number of daughter bulb(1.58) along with scale size(1.46cm) were observed for six weeks. On the other hand stage of disbudding had a negative impact on plant height. Plant height was reduced in plants disbudded at first bud appearance (49.65cm) compared to non disbudded plants (62.42cm). Plants disbudded at first bud stage had least number of leaves (44.86) as compared to non disbudded plants (48.68). Plants disbudded after three bud appearance produced increased number of bulbs(3.46) with maximum bulb weight(120.13g) and diameter(5.87cm) as well as increased number of daughter bulbs (3.20 plant-1). Disbudding after three bud appearance also significantly increased diameter of daughter bulbs (1.99cm) Scale size (1.92cm) and propagation coefficient (3.46) were also higher in plants disbudded after three bud appearances. However number of scales per bulb (18.93) was more in non disbudded plants

Effects on vase life and chlorophyll fluorescence were evaluated for kangaroo paw Bush Dawn flowers harvested from 3 growth environments and kept at 3 storage temperatures for 4 storage periods. Flowers were grown in a glasshouse, shadehouse and in the open. Harvested flowers were stored at 0, 7.5 or 13°C for 1, 2, 3 or 4 weeks. Minimum fluorescence values decreased progressively from 0.103 to 0.078 as storage temperatures increased from 0 to 13°C. Relative fluorescence ratios of stored kangaroo paw flowers were altered significantly in response to storage temperature, storage duration and growth environment. Relative fluorescence ratios decreased progressively from 0.778 to 0.649 with increasing storage duration from 1 to 4 weeks. Relative fluorescence values were 0.688, 0.784 and 0.711 for 0, 7.5 and 13°C storage temperatures, respectively. Minimum fluorescence did not differ among the growth environments, but relative fluorescence was highest for the shadehouse (0.760) and lowest for the open (0.695). Vase life was also influenced by storage temperature, storage duration and flower source. Main effect vase lives of flowers were 6.6, 7.2 and 3.4 days for 0, 7.5 and 13°C storage temperatures, respectively. Shorter vase life after storage at 0 than at 7.5°C indicates that Bush Dawn is chilling sensitive. Post-storage longevity of flowers from the shadehouse (6.5 days) and glasshouse (6.3 days) was greater than from the open (4.2 days). Relative fluorescence values, which decreased in a linear manner for all storage temperatures as storage duration increased, were significantly correlated with the vase life.

The influence of storage temperature and length of time in storage on anthocyanin tuber concentration were investigated in seven potato genotypes. These genotypes were cultivars `All Blue' and `Yukon Gold' plus five selections that were various skin/flesh color types of red/red, purple/purple, white/yellow, and two red/yellow types. The red, blue, and purple colors are the result of various anthocyanin compounds. Tubers of the seven genotypes were stored at 4.4 or 10 °C for 0, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, or 24 weeks. Both fresh and freeze-dried samples of the tubers were evaluated for each temperature and time treatment combination. Extractable anthocyanins were found in only the three pigmented genotypes red/red, purple/purple, and `All Blue'. Anthocyanin concentrations were estimated spectrophotometrically with a Molecular Devices Spectramax 384, based upon extinction coefficients reported in the literature for purple and red pigmented potatoes. Anthocyanin concentration increased in storage as time in storage increased for both fresh and freeze-dried samples. Tubers stored at the cooler temperature (4.4 °C) had higher levels of anthocyanin than those tubers stored at the higher temperature (10 °C). Increased levels of anthocyanins in cold-stored tubers may be linked to the conversion of starch to sugar (so called cold sweetening) known to occur at cold storage temperatures. Pigment extraction was more efficient from freeze-dried tuber samples compared to fresh tuber samples. There was, however, a similar increasing trend in both freeze-dried and fresh tuber sources with storage duration.

Alterations in non-enzymatic antioxidants of tomato fruits of two cultivars (Kashi Vishesh: a local & Hisar Arun: a hybrid) during their storage were studied. Tomatoes, harvested at mature green, breaker, and mature red stages were treated with 1% and 4% solution of H2O2 and then kept at storage temperatures 5°C,10°C, and 15°C. Antioxidant activity, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, Lycopene and total phenol content were measured after every 7-day interval up to a total storage duration of 21 days. The recorded non-enzymatic characteristics shown an increase upto 14 days and then started declining irrespective of storage temperature and concentration of H2O2 treatment and maximum change was seen at15°C and 1% H2O2. On the other hand, lycopene content increased asymptotically at all maturity stages and at all storage temperatures which is suggestive of slowing ripening process. In conclusion, local cultivar, harvested at mature green stage, showed slowest increase rate in antioxidants activities when treated with 1% H2O2 and stored at 5°C.

The effects of storage temperature on the physicochemical properties and qualities of red brown rice were investigated in this study. The samples were vacuum-packed in nylon/polyethylene pouches and stored at 15 °C, 25 °C and 35 °C for 12 weeks. The moisture content decreased as storage time was prolonged. Rice stored at 15 °C and 25 °C had a lower falling range of water content compared to the samples stored at 35 °C. Free fatty acid values increased fastest when samples were stored at a high temperature, and the rise can be effectively delayed at low temperatures. The pH of residual cooking water and adhesiveness decreased, while the heating water absorption rate and hardness increased during storage for red and brown rice. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance results indicate that water molecules migrated, the binding force of H protons became stronger and the bonds between molecules became closer with increased storage duration. Temperature had an obvious correlation with starch granules and protein structure, characterized by a scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Low temperatures significantly retarded those changes. The results indicate that storage temperature is a vital factor affecting the physicochemical properties and qualities of red brown rice and provided reference and theoretical basis for the actual storage of red brown rice.

Ear Height

The plant height and the height of the main ear were studied over two years in twelve single cross maize hybrids sown at three different plant densities (45, 65 and 85 thousand plants/ha) at five locations in Hungary (Keszthely, Gönc, Gyöngyös, Sopronhorpács, Martonvásár). The results revealed that plant height and the height of the main ear are important variety traits and are in close correlation with each other. It was found that the hybrids grew the tallest when the genetic distance between the parental components was greatest (Mv 4, Mv 5). The height of the main ear was also the greatest in these hybrids, and the degree of heterosis was highest (193% for plant height, 194% for the height of the main ear). The shortest hybrids were those developed between related lines (Mv 7, Mv 11). In this case the heterosis effect was the lowest for both plant height (128%) and the height of the main ear (144%). The ratio of the height of the main ear to the plant height was stable, showing little variation between the hybrids (37–44%). As maize is of tropical origin it grows best in a humid, warm, sunny climate. Among the locations tested, the Keszthely site gave the best approximation to these conditions, and it was here that the maize grew tallest. The dry, warm weather in Gyöngyös stunted the development of the plants, which were the shortest at this location. Plant density had an influence on the plant size. The plants were shortest when sown at a plant density of 45,000 plants/ha, and the main ears were situated the lowest in this case. At all the locations the plant and main ear height rose when the plant density was increased to 65,000 plants/ha. At two sites (Gönc and Sopronhorpács) the plants attained their maximum height at the greatest plant density (85,000 plants/ha). In Keszthely there was no significant difference between these two characters at plant densities of 65 and 85 thousand plants/ha, while in Gyöngyös and Martonvásár the greatest plant density led to a decrease in the plant and main ear height. The year had a considerable effect on the characters tested.

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) contained in purees extracted from wasabi (Wasabia japonica (Miq) Matsum) can be used to manufacture a range of interesting spicy foods. In New Zealand, local manufacturers are showing interest in producing various forms of processed wasabi based sauces. However, isothiocyanates have been shown to degrade quickly in some situations. Therefore, in this study, the stability of allyl ITC was investigated in three wasabi flavoured products stored at four different temperatures (4, 10, 20 and 30°C) for 22 weeks. Two creamy (mayonnaise and tartare) sauces and a non-creamy sauce were prepared from an original recipe and flavoured with a known volume of "wasabi oil". Two types of pouches (clear and metallic plastic) were used to store each product and allyl ITC content was measured in the stored sauces at two week intervals. The initial level of allyl ITC found in mayonnaise, tartare and smoky tomato sauces were 415.3, 411.4 and 144.7 mg/ kg respectively, prior to storage. Temperature showed a strong influence in reducing allyl ITC (P=0.005 to <0.001) but no significant effect was identified for the two types of packets used. The non-creamy smoky tomato sauce was very unstable at 10°C or higher temperatures and the allyl ITC contents reduced rapidly with increasing storage temperatures. For instance, at 30°C, a 66% loss occurred by week 2 and a 90% loss occurred by week 6 in the smoky tomato sauce. However, mayonnaise and tartare sauces had a shelf life of 8 to 9 weeks with only a marginal reduction in allyl ITC (2% overall) at all the stored temperatures (4-30°C). These creamy sauces were characterized by a sudden fall in 10 weeks ending in a 69-70% loss of allyl ITC at 22 weeks. No microbial growth occurred in any of the sauces stored at any of the temperatures during the course of this storage experiment though very small change of colour was noticed for the sauces when stored at 30°C.

The antibacterial effect of low concentrations of monocaprylin on Escherichia coli O157:H7 in apple juice was investigated. Apple juice alone (control) or containing 2.5 mM (0.055%) or 5 mM monocaprylin was inoculated with a five-strain mixture of E. coli O157:H7 at ~6.0 log CFU/ml. The juice samples were stored at 23 or 4°C for 14 or 21 days, respectively, and the population of E. coli O157:H7 was determined on tryptic soy agar plates supplemented with 0.6% yeast extract. At both storage temperatures, the population of E. coli O157:H7 in monocaprylin-supplemented juice samples was significantly lower (P &lt; 0.05) than that in the control samples. The concentration of monocaprylin and the storage temperature had a significant effect on the inactivation of E. coli O157:H7 in apple juice. Monocaprylin at 5 mM was significantly more effective than 2.5 mM monocaprylin for killing E. coli O157:H7 in apple juice. Inactivation of E. coli O157:H7 by monocaprylin was more pronounced in juice stored at 23°C than in the refrigerated samples. Results of this study indicated that monocaprylin is effective for killing E. coli O157:H7 in apple juice, but detailed sensory studies are needed to determine the organoleptic properties of apple juice containing monocaprylin.

The effect of storage temperature on the shelf life, weight loss, respiration rate and ethylene production of Hass avocado (Persea americana Mill) was studied. Two batches of green mature avocado fruits, classified as ‘‘super extra’’ were stored at 10 and 20 C (first batch) and at 7 and 25 C (second batch). The avocado shelf lives were 22, 8, 32 and 6 days at 10, 20, 7 and 25 C, respectively. Based on the data of the first assay Q10 was calculated as 2.75, with this value the predicted shelf life at 7 and 25 C were 29.8 and 4.8 days, respectively. That meant shelf life was underestimated 7 and 20% at 7 and 25 C, respectively. Weight loss was linear at both the storage temperatures, it was 4.3% in fruits at 20 C for 8 days and 3.0% at 10 C for 22 days. The maximum CO2 production at 20 C was reached during the second day of storage, while at 10 C it was reached at the 17th day (176.17 15.98 and 74.73 7.32 mL/kg h, respectively). The maximum ethylene production at 20 C was reached the second day of storage, and at 10 C the 6th day (239.06 54.55 and 28.00 8.12 mL/kg h, respectively).

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the 45 F1 hybrids derived from 10×10 half diallel fashion along with ten parents and one standard check GN.Cot.Hy-14 were sown in randomized block design with three replications during kharif -2017 at Cotton Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The genetic components of variation were determined for 12 characters viz., days to 50% flowering, days to 50% boll opening, plant height (cm), number of monopodia per plant, number of sympodia per plant, number of bolls per plant, boll weight (g), seed cotton yield per plant (g), ginning percentage (%), seed index (g), lint index (g) and oil percentage (%).The estimate of the components of variation revealed significant results for both additive (D) as well as dominance effects (H1 and H2) for all the characters except plant height non-significant H2 component, but in majority of traits (except plant height, lint index) H1 was higher than D indicating dominance components were important in the inheritance of seed cotton yield and its components. The average degree of dominance (H1/D)1/2 was found to be more than unity for all the traits (except plant height, number of monopodia per plant and lint index indicating partial dominance) indicating over dominance. Asymmetrical distribution of positive and negative genes in the parents was observed for all the traits. High estimates of heritability in narrow sense was observed for days to 50% flowering, days to 50 % boll bursting, number of monopodia per plant, ginning percentage (%), lint index (g) and oil content (%) suggesting that selection based on these attribute would lead to rapid improvement. Due to preponderance of non-additive gene effects of seed cotton yield per plant and most of its component traits, heterosis breeding would also be practically feasible in cotton.
