Summary: This study demonstrates the efficacy of eco-safe hydrocolloid edible coatings, such as Xanthan gum, in preserving the quality and extending the storage life of mango fruit at ambient conditions. The Xanthan gum treatment significantly reduced decay and physiological losses, maintained biochemicals, and extended shelf life by 6 days compared to the control. This non-chemical, cost-effective approach is recommended for postharvest preservation of mango fruit.

Summary: By comparing tetraploid and diploid mango trees, it was found that tetraploids have higher leaf elastic modulus and lower dehydration rates, and conduit sizes are related to ploidy. Additionally, wall hygroscopic moieties in cells play a role in volumetric adjustments in both diploids and tetraploids.

Summary: This study combined fluorescence and electron microscopy to explore the vascular anatomy of phloem tissue in tapering branches of mango trees, revealing variations in phloem anatomy in different years that led to an exponential increase in conductivity towards the base of the tree. The findings suggest that the pipe model theory applied to the phloem continuous tubing system is a good approach to understanding hydraulic transport in fruit trees.

Summary: The drought resistance of several mango cultivars and their respective autotetraploids was evaluated. The tetraploid 'Gomera-1' showed delayed leaf water loss and maintained high levels of quantum efficiency and gas exchange compared to other cultivars. Therefore, using polyploids with water-saving physiological traits can improve the drought resistance of mango.

Summary: The study characterized pollen-pistil interaction in mango, revealing differences in the process compared to porogamous species. Key factors such as starch, arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were found to play a role in directional pollen tube growth. The results support heterotrophic growth of mango pollen tubes in the style at the expense of starch, while GABA and starch were not highly present in the micropyle of mango.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a natural and high antioxidant fruit snack using date paste from immature dates. Pectin was added to improve the quality of formulated date bars, and the bars with 4% pectin were selected for product development and shelf life evaluation. The results showed that the developed bars had high mineral content and phytochemical constituents, and they were organoleptically acceptable and microbiologically safe for up to 30 days at room temperature and 50 days under refrigeration.

Summary: This study revealed that the predominant flavonoid compounds in the skin of red mango cultivars 'Ruby' and 'Sensation' are quercetin-3O-glucoside, cyanidin-3-O-galactoside, procyanidin B1, and procyanidin B3. Bagging treatment inhibited the biosynthesis of flavonol and anthocyanin, but promoted the accumulation of proanthocyanidin. Matured 'Ruby' fruit skin showed light red pigmentation with a light-independent anthocyanin accumulation pattern.

Summary: Sorbitol can effectively alleviate chilling injury symptoms in mangoes during cold treatment for up to 14 days by reducing levels of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide, decreasing polyphenol oxidase activity, and increasing levels of ascorbate and antioxidant enzyme activity. However, sorbitol alone may not be satisfactory and should be combined with other treatments to improve storage at low temperatures.
