Deep sequencing has generated 52 contigs derived from five viruses; Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV), Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV), Apple stem pitting virus (ASPV), Apple green crinkle associated virus (AGCaV), and Apricot latent virus (ApLV) were identified from eight apple samples showing small leaves and/or growth retardation. Nucleotide (nt) sequence identity of the assembled con...

This research used digital images to explore some of the factors responsible for consumer preference of visual characteristics of apples (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). The images systematically varied in color and shape (Expt. A: 9 images) and type, shape, and background color (Expt. B: 10 images), while keeping apple size constant. Visual assessments of the apple images were collected from 144 con...

The improvement of trap-lure combinations is an important part of integrated pest management programs that involve monitoring pests for timely insecticide applications, or for their use in control strategies such as mass trapping or bait stations. In this study improvements in the capture of Drosophila suzukii were not observed following the inclusion of different color stimuli with respect to ...

The number of transgenic cotton cultivars available for commercial production has increased greatly in recent years. Cotton producers now have multiple choices when choosing transgenic cotton cultivars. The choice of cultivar now dictates the insect and weed control programs that will or can be used. It is estimated that, in 2002, 55% of Arkansas’ cotton acreage was planted to a stacked-gene cu...

Galactomannans (GMs) extracted from seeds of a native Brazilian specie designated Cassia fastuosa (cassia) and from Cyamopsis tetragonolobus (guar gum – a commercial GM) were mixed with agar, in the proportion of 3/3 g.L (w/w), and used as a gelling agent in Marubakaido apple rootstock (Malus prunifolia Borkh) micropropagation. The rheological measurements of the gels showed a good interaction ...

in order to evaluate genetic relationship, diversity and possible genetically andphysical mixing of kurdistan cultivar with russian, american and european cultivars acollection of 33 samples including: 20 accessions of cv. kurdistan from different fieldsof kurdistan province, 7 russian and 6 american and european cultivars were analyzedusing 10 molecular markers. result indicated that in each m...

There are many apple orchards in the Russian Federation where trees were trained with volumetric canopies; vigor of these canopies must be suppressed. Prohexadione calcium (calcium 3-hydroxy-5-oxo-4-propionyl-cyclohex-3-enecarboxylate) was developed to inhibit gibberellins biosynthesis reduce vegetative growth. The study done commercial orchard “Planeta sadov” LLC Michurinck district Tambov Reg...

This experiment was conducted during 2021-2022 in the Duhok University nursery, Iraqi Kurdistan region, to study effects of three different Apple cultivars (Super red, Scarlet and Royal caka), budding dates (28th August,18th September 8th October 2021) levels balanced fertilizer N20%, P20% K20 %; (0 g, 2g 4g. l-1) on successful percentage some vegetative growth characteristics apple transplants...

The aim of this study was to compare total phenolic content (TPC), radical-scavenging activity (RSA), anthocyanin (TAC), sugar and polyphenolic profiles two apple cultivars (‘Discovery’ ‘Red Aroma Orelind’) from organic integrated production systems in climatic conditions Western Norway. Sixteen sugars four alcohols 19 polyphenols were found the peel, but less detected pulp. peel both apples ha...
