    Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the preharvest application of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) and perforated polyethylene bag packaging (PPE) on maintaining the postharvest quality of red-fleshed cv. ‘Da-Hong’ pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus sp.) fruit. On the flowering day, 100 mg·L⁻¹ CPPU was sprayed on the bracts and water was used as the control. After harvest, all fruits were divided into three package treatments, which were packed without bags, packed with and without PPE bags, and stored at 5 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 5% relative humidity for 21 days, followed by 7 days at 20 °C and 75 ± 5% relative humidity without bags for quality evaluation. Significantly higher bract thickness (2.26 vs. 1.44 mm), longer fruit length (120.5 vs. 109.04 mm), and greater firmness (1.56 vs. 1.04 kg·cm⁻²) were recorded for the CPPU treated fruit at harvest. Preharvest application of CPPU with perforated packaging resulted in significantly greener bracts, a lower yellow index, fewer chilling incidences, and a lower decay ratio, but there was a slight decrease in respiration rate during cold storage at 5 °C for 21 days. However, all criteria reached the threshold when fruits were transferred to 20 °C for 7 days. In conclusion, preharvest CPPU application plus perforated packaging is the best combination for the long-term storage of red-fleshed pitaya fruit at 5 °C.

    Abstract A 2-year trial was conducted to investigate the influence of prohexadione-calcium (ProCa) on the fruit quality of summer ‘Jen-Ju Bar’ guava (Psidium guajava L.). ‘Jen-Ju Bar’ trees were treated with various concentrations of ProCa: 0 (as control), 125, 250, and 500 mg L⁻¹, which significantly inhibited spring shoot growth. Summer guava fruits of the trees subjected to ProCa exhibited higher levels of total soluble solids and higher values of total soluble solids to titratable acidity ratio compared with control fruits. Summer guava fruits from trees treated with ProCa were firmer than those from untreated trees. ProCa sprays significantly affected pulp weight, core weight, pulp thickness, and pulp-to-core ratio. No other fruit quality characteristics were significantly affected by ProCa treatment.

    Abstract The appearance, flavor, and taste are important criteria of fruit quality, which is affected by environmental conditions, orchard management, and postharvest storage. The current study was conducted to investigate the influence of the pre-harvest application of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) on the red-fleshed cv. ‘Fu Kwai Hong’ pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus sp.) fruit during storage at 5 °C. On the flowering day, 100 mg L⁻¹ CPPU was sprayed on the bracts and water was used as the control. The significantly higher bract thickness (1.49 mm and 1.67 mm), shorter fruit length (88.6 mm and 99.4 mm), lower fruit shape index (0.91 and 0.95), and less cracking ratio (0% and 2.17%) were recorded on CPPU treated fruit in both winter and summer seasons, respectively. Moreover, CPPU resulted in more chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll content in the bracts than in the control, which caused fresh-green color of the bracts when CPPU treated fruit was harvested compared to the control, and was significantly less degree of bract browning than the control fruit during storage. Additionally, CPPU treated fruit exhibited later incidence of chilling injury than the control fruit during 5 °C storage. On the other hand, CPPU treated fruit had more weight loss and a slight increase of respiration rate compared to the control during storage at 5 °C.

    Abstract: This study was to investigate the effects of three shading nets (25% shading with a white net, 50% shading with a black net, and 75% shading with a black net) on the growth and fruiting of red-fleshed ‘Shih Huo Chuan’ pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus (Weber) ...

    Abstract This study was to investigate the effects of three shading nets (25% shading with a white net, 50% shading with a black net, and 75% shading with a black net) on the growth and fruiting of red-fleshed ‘Shih Huo Chuan’ pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus (Weber) Britt. & Rose). All shading nets reduced sunburn occurrence and improved cladodes color by decreasing lightness (L*) and chroma (C*), but increasing hue angle (h°). Shading resulted in more chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll content in cladodes than seen in control. Fruit length significantly increased but there were no effects on fruit width under 50% and 75% black shading nets. Shading treatments reduced total soluble solids content, but did not influence on total titratable acidity and TSS/TA ratio. The highest fresh weight and the lowest fruit splitting percentage were found with a 50% black shading net. In addition, the peel and pulp of fruit turned red and total betacyanins were accumulated one and two days earlier than seen with the control when plants were grown under 50% and 75% black shading nets, respectively.

    Abstract Trees in cities play a valuable public health role for they are able to use photosynthesis to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂), which is then stored as tree biomass. The present study compared the potential for carbon storage in the aboveground tree biomass of 3-year-old specimens of Barringtonia racemosa, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, and Alnus formosana grown in Chiayi City, Taiwan. Assessment of the carbon storage of avenue trees was based on measurement of the photosynthetic rate and leaf area, as well as the biomass of timbers, from October 2008 to 2009. Based on photosynthetic rates and leaf area, the estimated carbon stocks of B. racemosa, C. glauca, and A. formosana are 756, 615, and 2738 kg Cha⁻¹ a⁻¹, respectively. In addition, carbon storage can be estimated based on timber volume, and these results are 1170, 720, and 1995 kg Cha⁻¹ a⁻¹for B. racemosa, C. glauca, and A. formosana, respectively. Based on these findings, A. formosana has the highest carbon fixation potential of these three trees. Although the photosynthetic rate measurements can provide detailed data on the diurnal changes in carbon stocks, this requires more time and labor. In contrast, timber volume measurements provide a rapid and convenient way to estimate carbon stocks.
