this study was conducted during 2008-2009 to investigate the influence of different organic nutrient combinations on yields and quality of strawberry cv. kurdistan in iran. the experiment comprised of five organic nutrient treatment combinations including the recommended dose of n, p and k through chemical fertilizer as control. treatment n2 (manure+azotobacter+ woodash+phosphorus solubilizing ...

cantaloupe (cucumis melo var reticulatus) belongs to cucurbitaceae family and is cultivated in various parts of iran. polyethylene mulches have recently been used in vegetable growing, for different purposes. to study the effects of different polythylehe mulches on the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of cantaloupe, an experiment was conducted in kaboutar-abad agricultural research ...

Comparing different methods of estimating the genetic diversity could define their usefulness in plant breeding programs. In this study, a total of 18 morphological traits and 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were used to study the morphological and genetic diversity among 20 maize hybrids selected from different countries, and to classify the hybrids into groups based on molecular profiles...

of high-quality vegetable and industrial oil. 9 rapd primers, 6 aflp primer combinations and 12 agro-morphological traits were used to assess the genetic diversity of 20 accessions of saf flower representing global germplasm variability. jacquards’ similarity coef ficient were used to understanding the genetic relationships among ccessions, for aflp and rapd markers and euclidian similarity coe...

Background: Pineapple juice processing is an art of preservation, and the processing technologies play important role in pineapple juice quality. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential impacts of non-thermal processing methods on the physicochemical, bioactive, and microbiological properties of fresh pineapple juice. Methods: Extracted juices were subjected to several non-thermal...

this study was performed for assessment of correlation of 11 morphological traits with rapd molecular markers in 15 cultivars of date palm collected from the south and south west of iran as population analysis by stepwise regression method. the results of simple and multiple regressions showed that in sum 84 rapd markers had significant association with at least one of the traits. the coefficie...

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipping time and temperature of hot water and type of packaging on qualitative traits of Orlando tangelo variety of tangerine. This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three repeats. The treatments consisted of dipping in hot water at seven water levels at 53°C and 58°C each for 1, 2 and 4 minutes...
