Traditional pollination of date palms is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Hence, the objectives this study were 1) to develop rapid, efficient, low-cost method that results in an acceptable level fruit set (FS) with smaller amount pollen grains, labor costs using platform-mounted robotic (drone) supplemented water-suspended 2) investigate effect on palm FS percentage, efficiency (P...

 Study Design: experiment laid a Completely Randomized Design three replications.
 Place and Duration Study: screening house University Abomey-Calavi, City Republic...

Cultivar segregation according to the sensory perception of their organoleptic characteristics was attempted by using trained panel data evaluated by principal component analysis of four sources per cultivar of 23 peach and 26 nectarine cultivars as a part of our program to d a p c p o 9 a ( n t b t p ©

Triticosecale "Bilinda" (cultivar was bred in the laboratories of Leningrad Research Agriculture Institute, Branch Russian Potato Centre, Province) contains a large number polyphenolic compounds which are biologically active components. The purpose this work to conduct comparative metabolomic study extracts cultivar seeds harvested at different stages maturation. To identify target analytes HPL...

Large portions of the Great Plains and the western U.S. are regularly plagued by drought and diminishing water resources for irrigation. Alfalfa cultivars adapted to these regions, and that can remain productive under reduced irrigation allotments, are clearly needed. This study evaluated the potential of using DNA marker assisted selection (MAS) technology to improve alfalfa forage productivit...

Cultivar registration agencies typically require morphophysiological trait-based distinctness of candidate cultivars. This requirement is difficult to achieve for cultivars of major perennial forages because of their genetic structure and ever-increasing number of registered material, leading to possible rejection of agronomically valuable cultivars. This study aimed to explore the value of mol...

There is a significant potential to improve the plant-beneficial effects of root-colonizing pseudomonads by breeding wheat genotypes with a greater capacity to sustain interactions with these bacteria. However, the interaction between pseudomonads and crop plants at the cultivar level, as well as the conditions which favor the accumulation of beneficial microorganisms in the wheat rhizosphere, ...

Color acquisition is one of the most distinctive features fruit development and ripening processes. The color red closely related to accumulation polyphenolic compounds, mainly anthocyanins, during sweet cherry maturity. In non-climacteric species like cherry, maturity process controlled by phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA), though other hormones may also play a role. However, coordinated stage-...
