      Basanta, Maria Florencia; Ponce, Nora Marta Andrea; Salum, Maria Laura; Raffo Benegas, Maria Dolores; Vicente, Ariel Roberto; Erra Balsells, Rosa; Stortz, Carlos Arturo (American Chemical Society, 2014-12)
      Excessive softening is a major cause of postharvest deterioration during transportation and storage of fresh cherries. In continuing our studies to identify the factors determining the textural differences between sweet ...
    • Developmental changes in cell wall polysaccharides from sweet cherry [Prunus avium L.] cultivars with contrasting firmness 

      Salato, Gloria Silvia; Ponce, Nora Marta Andrea; Raffo Benegas, Maria Dolores; Vicente, Ariel Roberto; Stortz, Carlos Arturo (2013-10)
      Firmness is a major quality attribute of fresh cherries, and is also a main factor affecting susceptibility to bruising and postharvest rots. In order to identify the factors determining the textural differences between ...
    • Role of "well known" proteins on cell wall degradation and softening 

      Vicente, Ariel Roberto; Rodoni, Luis Maria; Salato, Gloria Silvia; Basanta, Maria Florencia; Ponce, Nora Marta Andrea; Stortz, Carlos Arturo; Raffo Benegas, Maria Dolores; Powell, Ann L.T.; Bennett, A.B.; Labavitch, John Marcus (International Society for Horticultural Science, 2015-03-25)
      Fruit softening has been largely associated with cell wall degradation by a number of loosening proteins. Firmness is a major quality attribute of fresh cherries and also an important factor affecting the susceptibility ...
