The proposed project will be run by a multidisciplinary team in an emerging research center, an area in need of investments in the state of Sao Paulo. In 2011, the banana of the Ribeira Vale was affected by the occurrence of very low temperatures, which heavily damaged the marketing of fruits produced in the winter. Considering that the banana is a fruit very sensitive to chilling injury …
The small size of bananas is a factor that limits their commercialization price. Zinc and auxin are related to fruit size. Zinc is also related to tolerance to cold stress. In this sense, this project aims to determine the effect of spraying banana bunches cv. Nanica with 2,4-D and different forms of Zn, associated or isolated, on fruit growth, yield and quality of bananas produced in win…
Bananas, being a tropical fruit, are very sensitive to cold, tending to show damage to the peel at temperatures below 12oC, which appear as brownish areas and compromise visual quality. Browning is caused by the oxidation and polymerization of phenols as result of membrane disruption, which occurs due to the greater rigidity of lipids or the direct action of reactive oxygen species (ROS).…
In the Ribeira Valley, the main banana producing region of the State of São Paulo, banana plants often experience stress due to water supersaturation due to high rainfall, insufficient soil drainage and surface water table. This condition causes reduction of photosynthesis and translocation of carbohydrates, root death, inhibition of pseudostem growth and leaf emission, shoot senescence, …
The pseudostem is an abundant residue after harvesting the banana bunch that can be a source of water, nutrients and organic substances (hormones, amino acids, carbohydrates, polyphenols or natural antioxidants, and other low molecular weight metabolites that can be absorbed by the roots). In other banana-producing countries, it has been used to increase the growth of a successor plant in…
