Effect Of Storage Time On Some Mechanical Properties And Bruise Susceptibility Of Pears And Apples, Yeşi̇m Benal Yurtlu, Doğan Erdoğan
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of storage time on some mechanical properties and bruise susceptibility of Williams and Ankara varieties of pear and Starkspur Golden Delicious and Starking varieties of apple. The research was performed in 2 stages. Firstly, compression tests were conducted to determine the mechanical properties of fruits. Secondly, an impact test was used to determine the bruise susceptibility of test materials. Impact tests were performed using a pendulum with 50 cm arm length. The tests were carried out at 5 storage times (harvest day, 1^{st}, 2^{nd}, 3^{rd} and 4^{th} month) and 3 drop heights …

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of various rootstocks on the total soluble protein content of pear scions, and to detect a polypeptide as a marker that would be associated with pear/quince compatibility/incompatibility. Bark samples were collected from 5 year-old pear scions grafted on QA and pear seedling rootstocks (PS). Total soluble protein contents of bark tissues of 4 pear scions, Passa Crassana (PC), Beurre Hardy (BH), Beurre Bosc (BB) and Bartlett (BT), were determined using the Bradford assay. Protein profiles of bark tissues taken from the graft combinations were determined using SDS-PAGE. In general, the scions grafted …
