Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of ABTS, DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC assays for estimating antioxidant activity from guava fruit extracts
TL;DR: Guava fruit extracts were analyzed for antioxidant activity measured in methanol extract and dichloromethane extract (AOAD), ascorbic acid, total phenolics, and total carotenoids contents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics, breeding and selection of rootstocks for Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae
TL;DR: Grafting is rare in the United States, due in part to cost and availability of facilities, but with continued loss of quality disease-free farmland along with the phase out of methyl bromide, vegetable grafting is an attractive option.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoparticle-Mediated Seed Priming Improves Germination, Growth, Yield, and Quality of Watermelons (Citrullus lanatus) at multi-locations in Texas.
Pratibha Acharya,Guddadadarangavvanahally K. Jayaprakasha,Kevin M. Crosby,John L. Jifon,Bhimanagouda S. Patil +4 more
TL;DR: The results of the present study demonstracted that seed priming with AgNPs can enhance seed germination, growth, and yield while maintaining fruit quality through an eco-friendly and sustainable nanotechnological approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of genetic and environmental variation on development of flavonoids and carotenoids in pepper (Capsicum spp.)
TL;DR: Several good candidate parents were identified for the breeding program to develop novel pepper varieties with increased health benefits, and there were no significant differences among locations for flavonoid concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lycopene, carbohydrates, ascorbic acid and yield components of diploid and triploid watermelon cultivars are affected by de®cit irrigation
Daniel I. Leskovar,Haejeen Bang,Kevin M. Crosby,Niels O. Maness,J. Antonio Franco,Penelope Perkins-Veazie +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, lycopene and vitamin C content did not decrease with de®cit irrigation at 0.75 ET, and there was genetic variability for Lycopene, vitamin C, and sugar composition, primarily fructose, among diploids and triploids.
