White rust or white blister disease caused by oomycete fungi, Albugo candia is one of the major devastating rapeseed mustard. Continuous emergence new races pathogen responsible for breaking down resistance already existing resistant cultivars. So there need evaluation cultivars as well Brassica to find out stable sources against disease. In this context, 82 different genotypes, including 10 sp...

The effect of virus-host interactions on subsequent generations is poorly understood. The evaluation of the effects of viral infection on inheritance of quantitative traits in the progeny of infected plants and elucidation of a possible relationship between chiasma frequency in the infected plants and variability of traits in the progeny were investigated. The current study involved genotypes o...

Abstract The pollination of self-incompatible diploid sweet cherry is determined by the S-locus alleles. We resolved S-alleles 50 cultivars grown in Estonia and their incompatibility groups, which were previously unknown for most tested cultivars. used consensus primers SI-19/20, SI-31/32, PaConsI, PaConsII followed allele-specific sequencing to identify S-genotypes. Surprisingly, 48% (24/50) c...

Twenty locally grown tomato cultivars were evaluated for their in vitro heat tolerance. Leaf discs were collected during vegetative, flowering and fruiting stages and incubated in water bath at 40°C for 1, 2 and 3 hours. Electrical conductivity (EC) was measured as an indication of cell injury due to electrolytes leakage. The results indicated that cultivars can be classified into three groups ...

Fenugreek has high fiber content and many potential uses, such as an adhesive, a stabilizer emulsifying agent to change food materials. This study investigated the gum ratio yield, emulsion capacity stability, diosgenin protein of 18 fenugreek genotypes three cultivars cultivated under irrigated dryland conditions. A wide range in values samples traits was observed, including (47.71–79.84%), yi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Phosphate (Pi) is one of the most limiting nutrients for agricultural production in Brazilian soils due to low soil Pi concentrations and rapid fixation of fertilizer Pi by adsorption to oxidic minerals and/or precipitation by iron and aluminum ions. The objectives of this study were to quantify phosphorus (P) uptake and use efficiency in cultivars of the species Coffea arab...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Genetic characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the oldest trees could be a powerful tool both for germplasm collection and for understanding the earliest origins of clonally propagated fruit crops. The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is a suitable model to study the origin of cultivars due to its long lifespan, resulting in the existence of both centennial and millennia...
