A prospecting campaign in the Maltese Islands has ensured survival of several ancient olive trees (Olea europaea L.), genetically distant from known cultivars. Most these plants were abandoned or partially cultivated. two-year evaluation fruit characteristics and compositions was performed on samples collected main representatives indigenous genotypes. Analyses carried out using Gas Chromatogra...

With the aim of understanding relationship between genetic and phenotypic variations in cultivated tomato, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers covering the whole genome of cultivated tomato were developed and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed. The whole genomes of six tomato lines were sequenced with the ABI-5500xl SOLiD sequencer. Sequence reads covering ~13.7× of ...

One of the important edible legumes, faba bean (Vicia L.) contains high protein levels and amino acids in its seeds essential for human nutrition animal feeding; it also consists anti-nutritional factors such as vicine, convicine, tannin. For a balanced healthy diet, cultivars should be improved seed yield, acids, low factors. The aims this study were to select genotypes (i) (ii) factors, (iii)...

Abstract. Putra FP, Kusmiyati F, Anwar S, Widaryati, Sas MGA. 2022. Variation in leaf characters and agronomical traits of Yard-long bean genotypes between Dimocarpus longan Psidium guajava stand. Biodiversitas 23: 5752-5758. (Vigna unguiculata subs. sesquipedalis) is one the most familiar horticulture crops. Leaf characteristics such as trichomes, stomata, chlorophyll content correlated to oth...

to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress in barley germplasm collection of national gene bank ofiran, 25 genotypes collected from arid and semi arid provinces of iran and 3 sample cultivars werestudied in two environments including: non-stressed and water deficit stress. agronomical, phenologicaland morphological traits were measured. stress indices were calculated to determine tolerant ...

to study breeding resource of kabuli chickpea lines of national plant gene bank of iran, two separate experiments were conducted during 2010 and 2011. in this study, 57 lines of kabuli type chickpeas- selected from primary evaluation experiments, out of 1500 accessions were planted at farm of seed and plant improvement research institute in karaj, iran, according a randomized complete block des...
