to investigate the effect of different concentrations (0, 0.01% and 0.02%) of salicylic acid (sa) on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pomegranate fruit cultivar ‘malase yazdi’ at ripening,2 and 4month ofstorageat5°c, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block with three replications was conducted. quantitative characteristics including percentage of fruit weig...

Sequence variation was sampled in cultivated and related wild forms of tomato at fw2.2--a fruit weight QTL key to the evolution of domesticated tomatoes. Variation at fw2.2 was contrasted with variation at four other loci not involved in fruit weight determination. Several conclusions could be reached: (1) Fruit weight variation attributable to fw2.2 is not caused by variation in the FW2.2 prot...
