The specialist in fruit physiology, culture, breeding and postharvest handling propose 11 projects of current year. There are: (1)、Studies on the Postharvest Physiology and Handling Technology in Red-fleshed Pitaya FruitRed-fleshed pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus and H. costaricensis ) has recently become a new export fruit product in H. undatus), massively produced in South Asia, red-fleshed pitaya is characterized with longer period of fruit availability, higher total soluble solids in the pulp, betalains-containing flesh, and better antioxidant activities. It is expected that red-fleshed pitaya possesses a better commercial potential than white-fleshed one in either domestic or international market. However, the researches for harvest maturity, tolerance capacity of vapor heat treatment, basic postharvest physiology, and optimum conditions of storage and transportation for red-fleshed pitaya fruit are barely found. In order to make availability of this commodity to domestic and international markets, it is urgently needed to build up the information about postharvest biology and technology of red-fleshed pitaya fruit. Therefore, the second year research of this proposal is planning to evaluate the tolerance capacity for vapor heat quarantine treatment, changes of quality attributes, storage life, and postharvest deterioration among ‘Da Hong’,’Mi Bao’, and ‘Shih Huo Cyuan’as well as various harvest maturities of each cultivar tested. The results of this investigation will be beneficial for determination of best cultivar(s) as well as for establishment of optimum harvest maturity of red-fleshed pitaya for oriental fruit fly-free markets in the near future.(2)、The evaluation of pear varieties for scion production in TaiwanThe object of this project was investigated 4 scion cultivars for top-graft pear uses.The experiment was conducted in Li Shan and Cholan. Four cultivars, which were selected from 10 pear scion cultivar, were used. Chilling requirement was measured and flower bud formation was observed, and leaf and stem nutrients content was analyzed in this project to decided their potential.(3)、Studies on Improving Fruit Quality, Electing Indices for Stress and Constructing a Draft of Genome in Guava一、The harvested quality of guava fruits is poor in summer, ex. low total soluble solid and texture, due to fast growth rate in high temperatureand high soil moisture. Our preliminary test showed that the PE+EPNS bagging could fasten the growth rate of guava fruit, and paper or net bag replaced PE +EPNS bag could slow the growth rate down. Extending growth period made the guava quality increase. In this study, we will advanced evaluate the application of bagging techniques to increase the storage life and quality.Furthemore, we try to use th trunk girdling and MgSO4 and Calcium foliar application to increase the sucrose accumulation in the leaves and inhence the fruit quality . The second object is to establish the standard fertilization model in guava orchard through diagnosis by leaf and soil analytical methods . In addition, it is important to increase the tolerance of guava to stress from abnormal climate due to global warming. Breeding is a basic and simple method to increase the tolerance to stress. We will screen the method and index for stress tolerance in guava for increasing the efficiency of breeding.二、The harvested quality of guava fruits is poor in summer, ex. low total soluble solid and texture, due to fast growth rate in high temperatureand high soil moisture.

We will screen the method and index for stress tolerance in guava for increasing the efficiency of breeding.三、The main purpose of the current project is to investigate the effect of different harvest maturity on fruit quality, antioxidant capacity and storability of red-flesh ‘Watermelon’guava. The harvest maturity of fruits, as judged by skin color, will be divided into deep green, light green and yellow-green stages using flowering date as a reference. Furthermore, the quality of fruits harvested in winter and summer will also be compared to understand seasonal effects. The results obtained from this study will be helpful for establishing the standard of optimal harvest maturity and stabilizing fruit quality of red-flesh guava. 四、Guava, which belongs to the family of Myrtaceae, is an economically important tropical fruit tree. Aside from the consumption of fresh fruits, the leaves and other plant parts of guava are also valuable for their medical usage. The main purpose of the current project is to establish a draft genome sequence for guava using next generation sequencing technology. Both whole genome library and Mate pair 2K library will be constructed first and then paired-end sequencing protocol will be used in this sequencing project. In addition to genome assembly, bioinformatics tools will be employed to predict the coding sequences and annotate the gene function. 五、Drought/flooding stress fluctuates toward the extreme in recent years in Taiwan, especially southern regions where the main guava production zone due to global climate changing. So far, little is known on drought stress and tree growth and fruit production as well in guava. Although guava has been reported to be drought tolerant; however, adequate irrigation is needed for economical cultivation from field experience. In general, vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting are sensitive to water status of plant and soil moisture in most fruit trees. Besides, photosynthesis including CO2 exchange rate and chlorophyll fluorescence has been indicated to have a rapid decline with decreasing plant water potential, thus could serve as the physiological index when plants are under drought. The purposes of this research are to document the effects of drought on tree growth and accessing its physiological index in guava. Potted trees of two main cultivars will be treated with two cycles of water withholding and recovery. Comparison of vegetative growth, CO2 exchange rate, chlorophyll fluorescence, leaf water potential, relative leaf water and soil content and chlorophyll content were conducted between control and treatment. From the data we obtain, the transit and permanent wilt point of plant water potential in guava could be acquired. In addition, a rapid and convenient physiological indices for guava when plants are under various drought stress are also available.(4)、Studies on high productivity and improvement of postharvest techniques of persimonSweet persimmon is the most important commercial fruit crop of Taiwan according to high return. The development potential for sweet persimmon in Taiwan is limited due to their incompatibility with rootstock, lacking in leaf nutrient standard, no information about crop load, serious physiological disorder, and high perishability. Our objective is to make appropriate selection from different lines for rootstock, to establish optimum leaf nutrient status and levels of crop loading, to decrease hysiological disorder in fruit by cultivation practices, and to improve postharvest handling technology. Furthermore, the management program for stable yield, high quality and storability is obtained. Taiwan'sdried persimmon processing which is mainly distributed in Miaoli, Hsinchu and Chiayi region, but Chiayi has the best source of dried persimmon processing compare to Miaoli and Hsinchu , Although there is slight different in processing technology in different county, there is no obvious difference in the quality of the dried persimmon. The collection of the dried persimmon is currently and in progress, and the grafts appraisal screening method, the seasonal survival rate, and the feasibility of the cultivars for development of dried persimmon, to enhance the quality of the persimmon orchardist dried persimmon is our ultimate objective.improvement of the persimmon orchardist dried persimmon quality as the ultimate objective. Additionally, we try to improve the processing thchniques for dry fruit.(5)、Breeding for polyploid seedless grapevines and development of pruning techniques for PE greenhouse grapevinesThe major objectives of this project in the 103 fiscal year include:1.

Top-working of ’73-S-20’ litchi, a branch of ‘No Mai Tsz’, is encouraged to gradually replace ‘Haak Yip’ or ‘Yu Her Pau’ in Central Taiwan because of its superior fruit quality, high proportion of edible part, late-maturing and high-price. However, the rate of success of grafting in ‘73-S-20’ is often poor, probably owing to scion/stock incompatibility i.e. rootstock effect. In addition, no attention has been paid to the idea of using rootstocks for tree manipulation such as size, vigor, yield, fruit quality and physiological disorders. The purpose of this study is thereby to document the rootstock effect of scion/stock union on compatibility, rate of success and fruit quality in ‘No Mai Tsz (73-S-20)’ litchi for top-working production system. Top-working through bark-grafting ‘73-S-20’ onto trunks or sprout of mature trees in ‘Haak Yip’, ‘Yu Her Pau’ or ‘Yu Her Pau’/‘Haak Yip’ (‘Yu Her Pau’ as an interstock) would be conducted in early March in 2014 on an orchard with various cultivars in Miaoli, Central Taiwan. Graft compatibility, rate of success, tree vigor and fruit quality including the rate of shrivelled seed and cracking among various scion/stock unions grafted at trunks or sprouts would be examined. From the results, we will obtain a best scion/stock union without/reducing changing fruit quality for ‘73-S-20’ litchi, and thus a potential orchard production system to renew the current cultivar using top-working can be developed as well.(7)、Studies on forcing culture, reducing the degree of splitting and granulation, and improved postharvest technologies of citrus fruits.The aim of this research project is to studies on fStudies on forcing culture, reducing the degree of splitting and granulation, and improved postharvest technologies of citrus fruits. in Taiwan.

The storage life and disorder of pineapple fruit were evaluated by spraying different treatments including 1-MCP and salicylic acid .(9)、Improvement of storage technigues for Carambola exportCarambola fruit(Averrhoa carambola L.) is one of important export fruits in Taiwan. It is sixth largest export fruit, mainly exported to Hong Kong, Canada, the United States, China, Singapore. Its export potential cannot be ignored. The main purpose of this project is to improve current carambola fruit postharvest handling techniques to extend storage life, maintain fruit quality and expand export market. The project investigates the change of quality and storage life in different cultivars and seasons. It invents optimal storage conditions and suitable for export packaging processing and examines the effect of 1-MCP for carambola fruit quality. At the same time, Itestimates the quality and storage life of carambola fruit after quarantine treatment. Finally, it establishes the postharvest handling(10)、Improvement of Fruit Quality in WaxappleWax apple is one of important and potential fruit crop in Taiwan. However, The fruit quality are affected by variety, season, climate and management. Climate change and more unstable environments such as salt stress had decreased the quality and increased fruit crack. This has hampered the industry and decreased the production area and growers’ income in Taiwan in past decades.The project is to study the salt on fruit quality and crack in wax apple among locations. Variety tolerant to salt stress are screened and used as rootstock to study the effect of grafting on the qualty and growth. The results will be useful for improvement of fruit quality and decrease the effects of unstable environments.(11)、Improvement on Fusarium wilting and salt stress resistant banana cultivars selection and ripening, packing technology1.Selection of banana cultivars(1) Selected Fusarium wilting and salt stress resistance clones from GCTCV-1089, TC1-2010, TC5-2111 with somaclone mutation.(2)Selected Fusarium wilting and salt stress resistance clones from cauliflower-like bud clumps induced with P4T and its’ improvement tissue culture technology.(3)Selected Fusarium wilting and salt stress resistance clones from cauliflower-like bud clumps induced with P4T tissue culture and mutagenesis with Sodium azide (NaN3) mutagen.(4) Selected Fusarium wilting and salt stress resistance cultivars from germplasm bank, such as ‘Grande Naine’, ‘Williams’, ‘Kluai Khai’, ‘Senorita’, ‘Xiem’, ‘Saba’, ‘Namwa’ and ‘Labyu banana’ with popularization potential cultivars.(5)Estimation the optimal clones or cultivars within the field in 2.In this study, factors which are associated with pre-ripening of banana, approaches to early detect the degreening of peel, physiological change of pulp starch and soluble sugar content of pulp in packed preripened green banana, will be analyzed and developed, respectively.
