this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the red flesh apples and golab cultivars. two iranian red flesh apples from shahroud and four golab cultivars as well as ‘gala’ as control from damavand were selected in summer 2012. fruit physical characteristics including length, diameter, fresh weight and dry weight, firmness, color and their parameters were evaluated for each cultivar. the...

molecular characterization of 19 jatropha accessions that included 15 accessions of j.curcas and 4 different species was carried out using 3 different markers systems. highest polymorphism (96.67%) was recorded by rapd followed by damd (91.02%) and issr (90%). polymorphism information content (pic) was higher for damd (0.873) and almost equal for rapd (0.863) and issr (0.862) markers, whereas r...

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of natural flocculants to reduce solids and nutrient loads in dairy cow wastewater using solid-liquid separation; chitosan was used as a model. Its use efficiency and optimum application rate were determined using flushed dairy cow manure of varied strengths - 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.6%, and 3.2% total solids (TS) content. Treatments consisted of n...

optimal nutrition of grapevine is one of the most important factors that affect the quantity, quality and time of fruit ripening. to increase the quantity and quality of ‘askari’ cultivar, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at shahrekord in 2010. treatments consisted of four levels of potassium sulfate fertilizer (zero, 300, 600 an...

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) and Putrescine (Put), on cut Gladioluswas studied. SA (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and Put (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. This study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 192 Gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of...

The pomegranate is one of the oldest fruits that are traditionally consumed by the local inhabitants of the Coruh Valley, Turkey. In this study, the molecular and morphological characteristics of 19 promising pomegranate genotypes selected from the Coruh Valley were evaluated. For the morphological evaluation, 22 quantitative fruit characteristics were used. For the molecular evaluation, 47 ran...

Random-amplified-polymorphic-DNA(RAPD) was assayed to detect the genetic variation of 6 barley generations from Iraq. Four primers generated a total 17 scoreable bands in RAPD analysis) and resolving power, three polymorphic differed (Rp). The use marker systems distance among generation discovered be beneficial. dendrograms indicate diverse grouping barely specimens, although we did see that c...
