Two new fossil taxa of the ash tree, namely F. zlatkoi Meng-Xiao Wu et J.Huang sp. nov. and Fraxinus cf. honshuensis Tanai Onoe were reported from early Oligocene Lühe flora, Yunnan Province, Southwest China. The fruit traits used to assign proposed species genus Fraxinus. These a flattened symmetrical shape, single seed located in base veins parallel long axis each fruit. have low length width...

physical properties are often required for designing post harvest handling and processing equipment for agricultural products. persimmon (khormandy cultivar) is rich in vitamin a, calcium, potassium, tannic acid and antioxidant phenolic compounds. in this study changes in the physical properties of persimmon fruit during storage were studied. properties such as fruit dimensions, mass, geometric...

This study was carried out on olive trees cv. Amygdalifolia, to investigate the effect of spraying potassium nitrate, KnO3, and zinc sulfate, ZnSo4, on the fruit weight, dimension and volume. The plants were sprayed with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% KnO3 and 0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75% ZnSO4 and their combinations in August about halfway through the fruit growth period. The highest fruit weight was observe...

 In 2007 and 2008, the influence of pollen source on the shell and kernel traits of resulting seeds and on fruit set was examined to evaluate the potential for Xenia or Metaxenia in Persian walnut. Pistillate flowers of ‘Jamal’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Hartley’ and ‘Pedro’ were crossed with the pollen of ‘Serr’, ‘Z60’ and ‘Damavand’. The pistillate flowers on each female parent were covered about one week...

Otoliths are considered as very useful structures of fishes for various studies. This investigation was aimed to compare morphometric parameters between right and left otoliths of males and females fishes amongst four species belong to the family Carangidae from the northern Persian Gulf. The morphometric parameters such as weight, length, width, area and perimeter were measured and then compar...

Otoliths are considered as very useful structures of fishes for various studies. This investigation aimed to compare the morphometric parameters between the right and left otoliths of male and female specimens of four species of the fishes belonging to the family Carangidae from the northern Persian Gulf. The morphometric parameters such as weight, length, width, area and perimeter of sagittal ...

In this study, fruit quality characteristics of sweet cherry cultivars (Prunus avium L. cvs. 0900 Ziraat, Kordia, Lambert, Regina, Sweetheart) grown in Ordu province Turkey were investigated. The Kordia cultivar's mass, width, and length measured higher than Lambert Ziraat cultivars. However, it was observed that the width cultivar similar to Regina Sweetheart. It determined firmness Sweetheart...

Some physical properties of musk lime (Citrus microcarpa) were determined in this study. The average moisture content (wet basis) of the fruit was found to be 85.10 (±0.72) %. The mean of length, width and thickness of the fruit was 26.36 (±0.97), 26.40 (±1.04) and 25.26 (±0.94) mm respectively. The average value for geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, mass, surface area, volume,...
