Citrus General Discussion / Oranges Color and Taste Comparison
« on: April 03, 2012, 03:38:12 AM »
Cara cara orange on the bottom, blood orange center, washington navel on the top:
Taste winner was regular washington navel, cara cara second, and blood orange last. But the blood orange was the only one i didn't grow, and was from California, so probably 3-4 weeks old by the time i got to taste it. Blood oranges will not turn color here due to lack of cold.

I have pretty much totally done away with sticky latex problem on cleaning jackfruits by
1) Picking them when starting to ripen, meaning the outer skin begins to become pliable and they are emitting some jackfruit odor.
2) once picked turn the fruit upside down (with the stem facing down) and place in a 5 or 7 gallon size bucket. so all the latex can continue to drip down into the bucket bottom. Place the lid on the bucket to hasten the ripening process, and leave it for 2-3 days. In other words, letting them ripen more fully does away with sticky problem. That is much easier than
oiling hands or wearing latex gloves. Also you don't end up with latex on the
lips when eating the raw fruit. If you do it right there will be zero latex when you cut that fruit open. I've done this with many fruits and it works! I discovered this by accident and it really helps when cleaning a lot of fruits.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Bumper Harvest of Durians
« on: April 01, 2012, 07:31:08 PM »
I just harvested these durians and loaded them up to take to my local market. I hope i can find lots of local buyes as my little Toyota truck is holding close to 3 tons of durians. Hope the shocks and brakes hold out! Anybody interested in purchasing some durian seeds, dried durian, durian paste, and durian wine?

Just kidding. That is a photo taken in Thailand a few years back. April fools! If you beileved that you'll believe anything!
FYI the part about that truck holding 3 tons of durians was true. Those little Japanese trucks designed to hold 1/2 a ton have beefed up suspenders. Just don't get in their way because no way their brakes will stop them from running right over you. What a way to go! Here lies a fruit lover run over by 3 tons of durians!

My Makawao grafted green sapote is flowering for first time, it's about 10 years old:

Also today for first time ever i got to taste green sapote side by side with a Pantin mamey sapote:

Both pdg: Pretty darned good!

My winner for slowest growing plant is this Rheedia aristata or Cuban Mangosteen. Here it is after 14 years, and a mere 4 feet tall. But started flowering when it was only a teen, last year when it was 13! Still no fruits, as all flowers so far are either male or functionally male:

Notice that strawberry is number one and mango is ranked number 14 and mangosteen is ranked number 40. Ofcourse most of the people participating probably have never eaten the latter 2 of these fruits, is my guess.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Removing 3 Large Brewster Lychee Trees
« on: March 16, 2012, 02:13:03 AM »
Today i cut down 3 Brewster lychee trees i planted over 20 years ago. I did it to give more light to the remaining trees. When i originally planted these Brewsters i purposely planted them close together (15 feet apart) figuring i would take advantage of fruiting for a few years and then later remove every other tree (to get 30 feet apart). Was good in theory only. Brewsters don't fruit very well here, and by the time i got around to removing them they were giant trees, and shading out some of my other preferred lychees. As i mentioned before, any part of a lychee tree that is shaded will not fruit. Oh well, live and learn!
This tree in the middle with survey tape is one of the ones i cut down. On left another Brewster i kept, to the right a Kwai Mi Pink (B3) and a Groff:

Tree after removal. Lots more light for the Groff and others:

Was really hard to do this because one of the trees had lots of fruit panicles:

This is what the inside of the trunk looks like. Lychee wood is used here for making drums and even for some furniture. It is very good, colorful, and hard wood:

Some of these trees got very large. This is the trunk of a Kwai Mi that i didn't remove. You can see my foot on the bottom for scale.

I rented a giant wood chipper to come in a few days so i can spread all the chips under the remaining trees. I kept about a dozen lychee trees. Soon will come the task of topping the remaining trees to get them to where fruit is more reachable. Because trees were too packed together they tended to get very upright to reach for the light under intense light competition.

BTW, coffee borer beetle is a new pest here to famous Kona coffee growers:


Coffee Pest Gene Transfer

An insect that plagues coffee plants likely got its bean-digesting gene from a bacterium.

By Hannah Waters | February 27, 2012

Horizontal or lateral gene transfers—the swap of genetic material between different species—are relatively rare in animals and, when they are identified, they frequently have unknown ecological significance. Research published online today (February 27) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that a coffee-devouring insect pest has a bacterial gene embedded in its DNA that encodes a coffee-digesting protein.

“What’s novel in this case is a bacterial gene going into the insect that actually allows the insect to feed off of a new food source,” said Julie Dunning Hotopp, a genomicist who studies lateral gene transfer at the University of Maryland and was not involved in the research. “It’s a gene that’s been transferred and it’s functional.”

Coffee berry borer beetle (Hypothenemus hampei) is an insect pest that feeds on coffee beans, causing industry losses of around $500 million each year and affecting more than 17 million coffee-farming families. A few years ago, a group of researchers at Cenicafé, Colombia’s National Center for Coffee Research, contacted Jocelyn Rose, a plant biologist at Cornell University, to study what proteins are secreted by the pest that allow it to digest coffee.

Screening the insect’s gut for digestive enzymes, Rose identified a protein similar to mannanase, an enzyme found across kingdoms that can break down coffee-specific sugars. But “there are no mannanase genes in insects,” Rose said. “What was remarkable is that, when we looked at the gene sequence, it looked like a bacterial sequence.”

Despite its sequence similarity to bacterial genes, the gene did show some hallmarks of eukaryotes, such as the addition of a poly-A tail on the resulting RNA and the loss of the Shine-Delgarno sequence, a prokaryotic-specific sequence found upstream of the gene. The researchers confirmed that the gene was not present due to gut bacteria contamination by carefully sequencing the regions on either side of the gene. The flanking areas were eukaryotic transposons, pieces of DNA that can jump around the genome, not bacterial sequences, indicating the sequence wasn’t from a bacterium living in the gut.

If the gene did indeed come from a bacterium, it would mark one of only a few cases of lateral gene transfer in animals.

Rose and his team also sequenced this same region of the genome in coffee berry borers collected from 16 countries, and found that the gene was present in all of them, suggesting that the gene acquisition preceded its invasion as a pest. He then harvested the enzyme from the beetle’s gut to show that it could, in fact, break down coffee beans. In contrast, the gut enzymes and proteins from closely related beetle species could not digest the coffee, suggesting they did not carry the mannanase or related genes.

But how the borer beetles acquired the gene is unclear. The presence of flanking transposons could be one explanation, Rose noted. However, “a lot of DNA is composed of transposons, so [a gene is] more likely to be [inserted] adjacent to a transposon” just by chance, Dunning Hotopp said. Plus, gene insertion into transposon-heavy DNA regions is less likely to “disrupt a gene needed by the organism,” she added, preventing its quick elimination by natural selection.

Regardless of the mechanism, the evidence for both lateral gene transfer and ecological significance are compelling, said Patrick Keeling, a molecular evolutionary biologist at the University of British Columbia who did not participate in the study. However, “the distribution of an enzyme like this is critical to understanding any ecological implications.” Because few insect genomes are sequenced, scientists simply don’t know how widespread the enzyme is. If as more insect genomes are sequenced, the gene starts “popping up all over the place, this could get more complicated, maybe in a really interesting way,” he added.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Report on Kiwiboncaya Seed co in Peru
« on: March 06, 2012, 02:56:39 PM »
Someone on group mentioned this company about a month ago. I placed a small order to try them out. Sorry to say can't say anything good about them. Never received anything although they had emailed me that the seeds had gone out. So placed a claim with Paypal and got a nasty letter back from the vendor informing me the seeds are not in season and how dare i place a claim against them? I suggest you all steer clear from these folks.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / New Fruit So-Shang Elaeagnus latifolia
« on: March 06, 2012, 12:45:11 AM »
Got to taste my first fruits of So-Shang. This is a new fruit to USA originally from north-east India (Assam) and Thailand. The first time i tried it was a bit astringent, but it was because it had not ripened fully. Second time i tried it was much better as i let it get fully red. It tastes similar to plum, has consistency of plum, but is not as sweet. It is a nice fruit, plants are super productive making multiple flowers at every single node, and it is cold hardy. In Assam it grows up to 1500 meters (almost 5000 feet). The plant is a small tree sending long semi-climbing shoots. Can be pruned to any shape.




Apparently it is quite easy to start from cuttings. If anyone is interested please let me know. Here is more information about this plant: http://gbpihedenvis.nic.in/HTML/vol16_2/R.%20K.%20Patel.pdf

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Breadfruit Festival in Hawaii
« on: March 04, 2012, 02:32:05 AM »
Went today to a nice event with speakers, luncheon with many dishes prepared with breadfruit, handicrafts, and demonstrations, such as making of breadfruit cloth and breadfruit poi (pounded breadfruit paste). Main speaker was Dr. Diane Ragone, our local expert, and probably one of leading world specialist on breadfruit (see breadfruit.org). There is an attempt here to revitalize breadfruit in Hawaii and also to introduce breadfruit in countries that have malnutrition/starvation. Fortunately many of the countries with high rate of malnutrition are in tropical areas where breadfruit grows well. Breadfruit trees grown in proper climate make massive amounts of food of high quality and very nutritious (very high in iron and potassium). The breadfruit institute has started to tissue culture breadfruit cultivars to mass produce them. So far they have only released one cultivar, the Samoan Ma'afala, but will be propagating and releasing others soon. Dr. Ragone mentioned she had over the years collected over 400 selections of breadfruit, but the institute is so far only able to grow and maintain about 180. Still it's by far the largest collection of breadfruit on the planet. There are two growing centers, one on Kauai and the main one on Maui.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / New Fruit Similar to Starapple
« on: February 23, 2012, 01:34:02 AM »
Here is a photo of a fruit i grew from seeds originally from Jim West in Ecuador. He sent them to me as Chrysophyllum auratum, but on a later visit to my place told me he wasn't sure if that was correct latin name. It seems it doesn't match description in the Pennington sapotaceae monograph (Flora Neotropica), but then again none of the other species match either. So left this species name for now. Local name of this species in Venezuela is caimito dulce, sweet starapple. And it is indeed very sweet. The fruits are a bit smaller than starapple. The fully ripe color is light pink, but can be eaten when greenish yellow. The fruits only contain one seed each. The good thing is that the tree produces fruits much earlier than starapple and the season is a lot longer. The tree seems slower growing than starapple though. The tree has an unusual strong musky smell that it radiates, even without brushing up against it. No smell in the fruit. The leaves don't have the velvety bronze color on underside like starapple and are more rounded on tips than starapple. I have a very few seeds if anyone is interested.
