The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of essential oils obtained from sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L. cv. ‘Genovese’) cultivated in the open field under different shading conditions (red, blue, and pearl nets with a shade index of 50% and full sunlight exposure (control plants)), harvested at different times. The antimicrobial activity of basil essential oils (BEOs) obtained from all samples was determined for four microorganisms, while determinations for an additional five microorganisms included samples from non-shaded plants, plants grown under red and pearl nets, and second harvest of plants grown under blue net. Basil essential oil exhibited antimicrobial activity surpassing the activity of relevant commercial antibiotics regardless of growing conditions in the case of B. cereus, K. pneumoniae and C. albicans, while superior antimicrobial activity was exhibited in the case of essential oils from plants grown under blue nets in the case of S. aureus, E. coli and P. vulgaris. The influence of the application of colored shading nets was highly significant (p< 0.01) in the cases of all analyzed microorganisms except C. albicans and P. aeruginosa, while the influence of harvest time was proven in the cases of all microorganisms except K. pneumoniae. ANOVA proved that antimicrobial activities are highly dependent on the methods of plant production, shading treatment, and harvest time. Obtained results are discussed in relation to previously determined composition and yield of essential oils from basil grown under shade nets and harvested in different periods.

Lemon balm, mint, and basil were used to determine whether light modification (plants grown under pearl shade nets with 40 % shaded index or in un-shaded open field) could improve the quantity and quality of essential oils (EOs) and antioxidant activity. The yield of EOs of lemon balm, mint and sweet basil obtained after 120 min of hydrodistillation was 0.18, 2.00, and 1.12 mL/100 g, respectively. At the same time under shading conditions plants obtained more levels of EOs (0.22, 2.23, and 1.32 mL/100 g). The main components of the lemon balm essential oil are geranial (6.84–7.78 %); neral (3.02–3.52 %) and piperitenone oxide (1.67–5.36 %). The main components of mint essential oil are piperitenone oxide (12–14 %) and 1,8 cineole (1.32–2.27 %), while basil essential oil consists of the following components: linalool (9.06–10.2 %); 1,8 cineole (1.26–8.06 %) and α-trans bergamotene (1.21–1.47 %). The essential oil obtained from basil leaves grown under shading has shown the highest antioxidant activity (EC50 value after 20 min of incubation = 0.68 mg/mL). Medicinal plants are a good source of natural antioxidants with potential application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Medicinal plants can be recommended to grow in shading conditions for achieving optimal quality parameters.

Thymus vulgaris L. (thyme), Origanum majorana L. (marjoram), and Origanum vulgare L. (oregano) were used to determine whether light modification (plants grown under nets with 40% shaded index or in un-shaded open field) could improve the quantity and quality of essential oils (EOs) and antioxidant activity. The yield of EOs of thyme, marjoram, and oregano obtained after 120 min of hydrodistillation was 2.32, 1.51, and 0.27 mL/100 g of plant material, respectively. At the same time under shading conditions plants synthetized more EOs (2.57, 1.68, and 0.32 mL/100 g of plant material). GC/MS and GC/FID analyses were applied for essential oils determinations. The main components of the thyme essential oil are thymol (8.05–9.35%); γ-terpinene (3.49–4.04%); p-cymene (2.80–3.60%) and caryophyllene oxide (1.54–2.15%). Marjoram main components were terpinene 4-ol (7.44–7.63%), γ-terpinene (2.82–2.86%) and linalool (2.04–2.65%) while oregano essential oil consisted of the following components: caryophyllene oxide (3.1–1.93%); germacrene D (1.17–2.0%) and (E)-caryophyllene (1.48–1.1%). The essential oil from thyme grown under shading (EC50 value after 20 min of incubation) have shown the highest antioxidant activity – 0.85 mg mL−1 in comparison to marjoram and oregano (shaded plants EC50 19.97 mg mL−1 and 7.02 mg mL−1 and unshaded, control plants EC50 54.01 mg mL−1 and 7.45 mg mL−1, respectively). The medicinal plants are a good source of natural antioxidants with potential application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. For production practice, it can be recommended to grow medicinal plants in shading conditions to achieve optimal quality parameters.

More food with high nutritional content will be needed to feed the growing global human population, which is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Fruits and vegetables contain most of the minerals, micronutrients, and phytonutrients essential for human nutrition and health. The quantity of these phytochemicals depends on crop genetics, weather and environmental factors, growth conditions, and pre-harvest and post-harvest treatments. These phytochemicals are known to have anti-cancer properties and to regulate immunity, in addition to hypolipidemic, antioxidant, anti-aging, hypotensive, hypoglycemic, and other pharmacological properties. Physical treatments have been reported to be effective for managing several post-harvest diseases and physiological disorders. These treatments may affect the external, internal, and nutritional qualities of fruits and vegetables. Therefore, the aim of this review is to summarize the information recently reported regarding the use of physical treatments applied either directly or in combination with other means to maximize and maintain the phytochemical content of fresh and fresh-cut or processed fruits and vegetables.

Spinach is a leafy vegetable containing a plethora of bioactive compounds. Our study aimed to evaluate the physiological (i.e., JIP-test) and phytochemical response of spinach baby leaves grown with regular or mildly saline (40 mM NaCl) nutrient solution and irradiated by four light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with broad spectra. T1 (highest red and far-red, low blue) and T3 (high red, balanced blue, green and far-red) led to a better developed photosynthetic apparatus compared to T2 (red peak in 631 nm) and T4 (highest blue and green), highlighted by PIABS and its structural components: RC/ABS, φP0, ψE0, and ΔVIP. Elevated salinity only affected the latter parameter. T1 induced the maximum yield production but also the highest nitrate content which was far below the maximum level permitted by European legislation. Regardless of salinity level, T3 enhanced total phenol, chlorophyll, and carotenoid content. T2 and T4 led to inferior nutritional quality. Non-saline nutrient solution promoted the chlorophyll and carotenoid contents and the antioxidant potential, regardless of light treatment. By contrast, soluble sugar content was enhanced by saline nutrient solution. Our study shows that physiology and nutritional quality of spinach baby leaves can be manipulated by small interplays in the light spectra and salinity level.

Interaction of grafting and shading on tomato physical properties and chemical composition after 15 days of storage at 10 °C and 90% relative humidity was investigated in ungrafted and grafted tomato cultivars ‘Optima F1’ and ‘Big beef F1’ grown under shading nets (red and pearl net) and nonshaded conditions. For grafted plants ‘Maxifort’ rootstock was used. The effects of two weeks of storage was statistically significant when taking into account the effects of grafting, shading and variety for all tomato fruit composition parameters, except total phenols. A principal component analysis demonstrated that the changes in tomato fruit traits during the studied storage period were the main source of differentiation in tomato fruit quality. Beside a slight loss of firmness, tomato fruits were generally expected to have lower lycopene, sugar, malic and citric acid contents, higher succinic acid content, more elastic fruit skin and higher ascorbic acid content. Additionally, after storage, fruits from grafted plants had lower total phenol, higher ascorbic acid and higher succinic acid contents compared to fruits from ungrafted plants. Storage diminishes the differences in quality achieved through convenient grafting and shading combinations.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of coloured shade-nets (pearl, blue, or red all with a 50% shade index) compared to non-shaded plants on quality traits on the Discoa and ICE 40102 (green-leaf) and Eglantine (red-leaf) lettuce cultivars. Total chlorophyll content depended on the shading and lettuce genotype. The chlorophyll a and b contents were higher in shaded than unshaded plants. The cv. Eglantine had the highest total chlorophylls (637.03 μg∙g-1 F.M.) content. The highest carotenoid content was in leaves of cv. Discoa under pearl nets (208.89 μg∙g-1 F.M). The highest total phenols content (76.70±1.9 mg∙g-1 GAE D.M.) was in cv. Discoa under red shade; the highest flavonoids content was for cvs. Discoa (42.97) and Eglantine (42.91 mg∙g-1 RU D.M.) under blue shade. The blue and pearl shade nets resulted in slightly higher flavonoid contents in lettuce leaves compared to unshaded plants. The cv. Eglantine, under blue shade had the highest antioxidant capacity (EC50 - 0.197 mg∙mL-1). Red lettuce cv. Eglantine could be recommended for production due to its higher antioxidant properties. Generally blue shade can be used to retain antioxidant capacity.

BACKGROUND The need to increase marketable yields and decrease losses due to sunburns and disease development during the summer period motivates farmers to adopt additional cultural practices, such as shading and grafting. In order to investigate complex interactions of grafting and shading dependent of tomato cultivar grafted and ungrafted tomato (cv. Optima F1 and cv Big beef F1) was grown in the soil under net‐house cover by pearl and red nets and in unshaded condition (open field). The tomatoes fruits at pink stage of maturity were used for analysis of quality traits while total and marketable yields were recorded during the whole production season. RESULTS Grafting and shading in tomato production might be considered as a part of cultivation practice to increase marketable yield of tomato. Decrease of sugar content increased uptake of some micro (Fe and Zn) and macro elements (Ca) and in some cases firmer and less elastic skin may be expected due to grafting while shading with pearl net might result in fruit with lower firmness and higher total and particularly malic acid content. CONCLUSION Shading by color nets and grafting provides an alternative strategy by which to achieve higher fruit yield and avoid or reduce tomato quality decrease caused by environmental stresses, such as the excess of radiation and temperature in the summer cropping season.

Light modification by colour shade net manipulation plays an important role in the synthesis of bioactive compounds and has been shown to affect quantity and quality of essential oils in basil. In the present study, basil was grown in the soil under net-house cover by pearl and red nets (50% shade index), or in unshaded condition (open field-control). Sweet basil (Ocumum basilicum L. cv. ‘Genovese’) were used to determine whether different times of harvest could improve yield, chemical composition of essential oils and antioxidant activity under light stress conditions. The lowest accumulation of essential oils was observed in the second harvest from unshaded, control plants (1.02 mL/100 g) while the highest oil accumulation was achieved in first harvest from red nets (3.23 mL/100 g). The main constituents found in the oil were linalool (46.7–53.9%), eugenol (9.7–20.9%), 1,8-cineole (8.7–15.3%), epi-α-cadinol (3.3–4.5%) and α-trans-bergamotene (2.2–3.4%). Light manipulation by color shade nets also increased antioxidant activity. Plants grown under blue shade nets from the second harvest are characterized by the highest eugenol content (20.9%) and highest antioxidant activity (efficient concentration - EC50, 0.003 mg mL−1). Direct sowing, high plant density, colour shade nets and successive harvests represents a new technology in basil production with high essential oil yield and quality.

In this study, the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus − AMF Rhizophagus intraradices inoculum (prior or with transplanting) to different pepper type (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Arlequin F1 (long fruits) and Raiko F1 (bell pepper), on plant growth and physiological parameters in response to elevated soil P concentrations from organic greenhouse production with enhanced soil salinity, was investigated. To explain the physiological growth of mycorrhizal inoculated (M) and non-mycorrhizal inoculated (NM) plants, the parameters of fungal root length colonization, shoot concentration of P an N during growth, plant height, width of stem, yield, number of fruit per plant and also the quality parameters of fruits such as soluble solid content (SSC), fruit color, mineral profile, total soluble phenolics (TSP) and antioxidant activity (FRAP), were determined. This study showed that application of AMF in cv. Raiko cultivated in high P saline soil generally enhanced growth, fruit yield and number of fruits per plant when inoculated at planting time in the greenhouse. AM inoculated plants, regardless of the time of application in cv. Arlequin grown under the same conditions, did not have any significant differences in comparison with NM plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculation has great potential in enhancing the pepper growth and yield even in high soil P, however, because of the complexity and interaction of involved genotypes of pepper and AMF, the method and time of inoculation, the system of pepper production and environmental conditions, as well as assays have to be performed to verify positive effects.

Old traditional Serbian pepper landraces (Nizača, Lokošnička and Turšijara), grown in South Serbia and produced by seed sowing or transplanting, were evaluated in this study. Besides the basic morphological properties and composition, the features characterizing fruit color and pericarp anatomy were determined in order to analyze and systematize the traits relevant from the aspect of traditional end use of examined landraces. Landraces Lokošnička and Nizača, characterized with higher force needed to puncture fruit skin, larger number of mesocarp layers, thicker endocarp and thicker collenchyma tissue, followed with higher total soluble solids content are more suitable for intended traditional use than Turšijara. Production from transplants should be favored in order to obtain more uniform, darker red fruit color, ASTA value, higher TSS content as well as higher yields. There are genetic differences of the some quality differences between the cultivars. Lokošnička has higher mesocarp layers, thicker endocarp and collenchyma tissue. Pepper fruits dried in traditional way slowly in a draught are used in preparation of local ethno-gastronomic specialities, with special position in local customs related to dietary habits during the spring Orthodox fasting period. Intact fruit skin is also the prerequisite for successful utilization in traditional culinary specialties-stuffed dry pepper fruits previously soaked in water that remain whole during cooking and baking. Structure and texture of pepper fruit skin and pericarp can consequently be considered as one of the key aspects of technological quality of pepper based on which landraces were selected for described traditional preservation technique. The research for answers to this technological challenge was the motivation of this study, which evaluated the impact of different predrying process (type of landraces, production methods) on qualities of pepper fruit. The data shown would provide scientific rationales for obtaining high-quality whole fruit pepper as material for stuffing.

The photoselective netting concept using commercial cultivation practices was studied in a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum ‘Vedetta’) summer cultivation in south Serbia (under high solar radiation 910 W∙m−2, with a PPFD of 1661 µmol∙m−2∙s−1), under four different colored shade‐nets (pearl, red, blue and black) with 40% relative shading. The aim of the study was to determine how different environmental control technologies (color shade nets as screen house or plastic‐house integrated with color shade nets) could influence plant parameters, production and quality traits in tomato fruits cultivated in south Serbia (Balkan region). The leaf area index (LAI) ranged from 4.6 to 5.8 in open field and plastic tunnels plants (control) with maximum LAI values of 7.9 ‐ 8.2 in net houses with red color nets. Shade‐grown leaves generally have larger total chlorophyll and carotenoids content than control leaves. Pericarp thickness was significantly higher in pearl (7.215.82 µm), red (7099.00 µm) and blue nets (6802.29 µm) compared to other treatments and to control (6202.48 µm). The highest concentration of lycopene was detected in tomatoes grown in plastic houses integrated with red color nets (64.9 µg g−1 FW). The plastic house and open field (control) tomato production had a taste index mean value of 1.09‐1.10. This is significantly higher than the values determined for the treatments with different color shade nets. These results show that red and pearl photo‐selective nets create optimal growing conditions for the growth of the plant and produces fruits with thicker pericarp, the highest lycopene content, satisfactory level of taste index and can be further implemented within protected cultivation practices.
