Effects of O2 and CO2 concentrations on physiology and quality of litchi fruit in storage
Shiping Tian,Bo-Qiang Li,Yong Xu +2 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that CA conditions were more effective in reducing total phenol content, delaying anthocyanidin decomposition, preventing pericarp browning, and decreasing fruit decay in comparison with MAP treatment as discussed by the authors.
BookDOI
Abiotic Stress Physiology of Horticultural Crops
TL;DR: The crop-environment interaction in horticultural crops is receiving increased attention in the context of changing climatic conditions, and the most recent findings about the effects of the main abiotic environmental factors (water, temperature, salinity) on whole plant physiology of horticulture crops are presented.

Effect of temperature on growth and flowering of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) cultivars
C. M. Menzel,D. R. Simpson +1 more
TL;DR: Moderate day/night temperatures (20/15° v. 15/10°C) increased vegetative growth and reduced flowering in the seven litchi cvs Tai So, Bengal, Souey Tung, Kwai May Pink, Kwae May Red, Salathiel and Wai Chee.

Influence of nitrogen fertiliser application and timing on greenhouse gas emissions from a lychee (Litchi chinensis) orchard in humid subtropical Australia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify GHG emissions over two consecutive years (March 2007 to March 2009) from a 30 year (lychee) orchard in the humid subtropical region of Australia.

Iron Nutrition of Plants in Calcareous Soils
Yona Chen,Phillip Barak +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews iron nutrition of plants in calcareous soils and finds soil treatment with synthetic chelates, principally FeEDDHA (ethylenediaminedi– o –hydroxyphenylacetic acid), has been found to be an unqualified success, but for the drawback of their high costs.

Boron Nutrition Of Crops
TL;DR: This chapter reviews recent information on the B nutrition of agricultural crops in the light of factors such as availability of soil B to plants and factors affecting it, B-containing fertilizers and methods of application, symptoms and levels of B deficiency and toxicity in plants, and the physiological role of B in plants.

Calcium as a plant nutrient
E. A. Kirkby,D. J. Pilbeam +1 more
TL;DR: The phloem/xylem ratio of the solute input can be particularly critical in organs which are naturally low in Ca, such as fruits and young leaves.
