CO, exchange rales (CO, evolution) of late-maturing cv. Cai Red peaches, exposed lo different photon flux densities, were simulated from 24 days after flowering {DAF) until harvest by using light and temperature response curves measured on attached fruits in the field at biweekly intervals. The daily patterns of dark respiration rales per unil dry weight indicated their dependence on temperatur...

In order to investigate the effect of different levels of biological fertilizers on potato performance (cv. Marfona), an experiment was carried out as strip plot based on RCB design with 3 replications in 2011 at Isfahan. Treatments included Nitrocara at 4 levels (0: control, 220, 330 and 440 ml.ha-1) as a first factor and Nitroxin+ Phosphate at 4 levels (0+0: control, 20+100, 30+150...

To improve the yield of sweet peppers in Japan, we investigated relationships between plant growth characteristics and fruit yield, with a particular focus on dry matter production. Fruit fresh weight (i.e., yield) was highly correlated weight. Aboveground production both light use efficiency intercepted photosynthetically active radiation. Although number fruits set ratio, no correlation found...

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...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

Plants were grown in two glasshouse compartments under two vapour pressure de®cit (vpd) levels: low vpd was obtained by increasing air humidity with a fogging system, and high vpd was obtained during sunny hours in a greenhouse where air humidity was not controlled. The mean value, of the six driest hours of the day concerning the growing period of the fruits considered, was 1.6 kPa under low v...

Narcissus is one of the very popular flowers among Iranians. This flower has a short life. To investigate the increasing of vase life of cut Narcissus, sour orange fruit extract in concentrations of 2.5, 4, 5.5 and 7 ml L-1 and sucrose in concentrations of 3, 4, 5 and 6% were used. In addition, distilled water was used as a control treatment. In this experiment, characters of vase life and perc...
