This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

To evaluate the inoculation effect of potassium releasing, phosphate solubilizing and nitrogen fixing bacteria on the fruit quality of tomato, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications has been conducted. In this experiment, tomato (super chief cv.) seedlings of the in the treasury cultivation with single and combined treatments of the potassiu...

background and objectives:  hawthorn is a forest fruit tree which is grown in the temperate regions around the world. this plant is known as the most traditional herbal remedy for heart failure and cardiovascular disease in worldwide. this study has been conducted to investigate the genetic variability and classify hawthorn genotypes based on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of leaf...

Kernel weight is important for plant breeders to select high productive plants. The determination of relationships between kernel weight and some fruit-kernel characteristics may provide necessary information for plant breeders in selection programs. In the present study, the relationships between kernel weight (KW) and 7 fruit-kernel characteristics: Fruit Length, (FL,), Fruit Width (FW) Fruit...

accurate and nondestructive methods to determine individual leaf areas of plants are useful tools in physiological and agronomic research. a determination of the individual leaf area (la) of such species in brassicaceae family as red cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. rabra), cabbage (brassica oleracea var. cappitata l. f. alba) and broccoli (brassica oleracea var. italica l.) ...

‘smyrna’ type figs (zidi ‘zd’: dark fruit and thgagli ‘thg’; bidhi ‘bd’ and khedri ‘khd’: white fruit) originated from two areas of fig production in tunisia were subject to physico-chemical description and spectrophotometric analysis for their sugar (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and organic acid (citric and malic) contents. fruit weight ranged between 54 and 82 g, fruit width between 47 and ...

Six diverse homozygous parents, BWR-1, BWR-6-1, BWR-29, BWR-39, EC-464107 and EC-464115 were evaluated for gene action, heritability combining ability using 6X6 diallel cross excluding reciprocals. The results showed that analysis of variance revealed significant differences due to crosses parent’s vs crosses. Mean squares GCA SCA all traits days 50% flowering, first picking, plant height, prim...
