Tridge summary

A seminar-workshop was held at the INIA La Cruz facilities in Chile to update farmers, local producers, and municipal authorities on a project aimed at extending the shelf life of non-climacteric fleshy fruits using an improved native yeast. The project, led by Dr. Sebastián Molinett and funded by the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID), Subdirectorate of Applied Research (SIA), and the University of Santiago, with participation from Agro Q-Tral, is focused on developing a preservation system based on yeasts from winemaking environments. The goal is to overproduce a natural gas transmitter to improve fruit quality and reduce post-harvest losses, benefiting small and medium producers. The project will continue until 2025 and will include experiments on the impact of these treatments on fruit quality and gene expression.

The project “Preservation system, based on an improved native yeast with optimal production and release of a natural gas transmitter, to extend the shelf life of non-climacteric fleshy fruits”, held a seminar-workshop at the INIA La Cruz facilities, Chile, where researchers shared the progress and scope of this initiative with farmers, local producers and municipal authorities. The project was directed by Dr. Sebastián Molinett, researcher at INIA La Cruz and is funded with contributions from the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID), Subdirectorate of Applied Research (SIA). In addition, the study is carried out jointly with the University of Santiago, where the academic Claudio Martínez, PhD in Biology with specialization in genetics, participates, and the participation as an associated company of Agro Q-Tral, potential licensee of the technology. The seminar began with a talk about the general presentation of the project and its scope, which was given by Dr. ...
