Calcium enriched guava crisps: effect of material and process parameters.

Unlabelled: Guava ranks among top five economically important crops of India. However, it records highest postharvest loss and needs to be processed for higher shelf life and utility. This study entails evaluation and process standardisation for development of guava crisps through atmospheric frying.

Multivariate assessment of morpho-biochemical and bioactive diversity in Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels for the selection of superior genotype and breeding applications.

BACKGROUND JAMUN: [Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels] is an underutilized fruit crop in India, despite having numerous medicinal and nutritional benefits. Although the Indian subcontinent harbours a vast natural population of Jamun, limited knowledge exists regarding superior genotypes.

Development of genome-wide SSR markers through mining of guava ( L.) genome for genetic diversity analysis and transferability studies across species and genera.

Guava ( L.) is one of the economically major fruit crops, abundant in nutrients and found growing in tropical-subtropical regions around the world. Ensuring sufficient genomic resources is crucial for crop species to enhance breeding efficiency and facilitate molecular breeding.

Genetic diversity and population structure analysis of Indian blackberry (Syzygium cumini L.) using CAAT box‑derived polymorphism (CBDP) and start codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT) markers.

Indian blackberry (Syzygium cumini L.) also known as jamun is a very important underutilized fruit crop with notable medicinal and economic value. However, its genetic improvement has been constrained by limited knowledge of the genetic diversity within existing collections.

Comprehensive characterization of biodegradable edible films activated with rose and marigold extracts and application of active edible coatings to extend the postharvest storage life of guava.

This study investigated the physical, mechanical, optical, thermal, and biochemical characters of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and gum arabic (GA) based active edible films activated with rose leaf (RL) and marigold petal (MP) extracts, their impact on the shelf life and postharvest quality of guava fruits when stored under cold condition (10 ± 1 °C). Physical, mechanical and optical characteristics were enhanced by the incorporation of plant extracts. Water solubility of films decreased upon addition of plant extracts, with MP extract films showing the lowest solubility.

Physio-biochemical and molecular stress regulators and their crosstalk for low-temperature stress responses in fruit crops: A review.

Low-temperature stress (LTS) drastically affects vegetative and reproductive growth in fruit crops leading to a gross reduction in the yield and loss in product quality. Among the fruit crops, temperate fruits, during the period of evolution, have developed the mechanism of tolerance, i.e.

Development of novel g-SSR markers in guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Allahabad Safeda and their application in genetic diversity, population structure and cross species transferability studies.

Dearth of genomic resources particularly, microsatellite markers in nutritionally and commercially important fruit crop, guava necessitate the development of the novel genomic SSR markers through the library enrichment techniques. Three types of 3' -biotinylated oligonucleotide probes [(CT)14, (GT)12, and (AAC)8] were used to develop microsatellite enriched libraries. A total of 153 transformed colonies were screened of which 111 positive colonies were subjected for Sanger sequencing.
