a number of grapevine cultivars have female flowers and for better fruit set, they need pollinizer. single planting of these cultivars leads to severe decrease in fruit set. this research was carried out to investigate the effect of cross pollination with four grape cultivars (askari, rish baba, bidane sefid and tabarze sefid) on fruit set, bunch weight, berry per cluster, average weight of 20 ...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress on some physiological parameters in grapevine, a potted experiment with iranian grapevine cultivars ‘sahani’, ‘bidane-sefid’ and ‘farkhii’ was conducted in summer of 2008. the experiment was performed while employing four drought stress (water potential of soil, ?s= -0.2, -0.6, -1, -1.5 mpa) treatments each in three replicati...

in this research, the bud and cane winter cold tolerance of 22 field-grown grapevine cultivars of kourdestan province agricultural and natural resources research and education center was evaluated at jan. and mar. stages in 2012. in these cultivars soluble carbohydrates and water content changes of buds and canes during dormant period also were measured. after exposure to different freezing tem...

chilling is an important environmental stress that influences the yield and quality of many agricultural crops. different plants use different systems to endure this stress and minimize its effects. one of these systems is enzymatic reaction. to find out more about responses of different grapevine species and cultivars to the low temperature conditions, their enzymatic changes were evaluated in...

to produce embryonic callus in four grapevine cultivars i.e. yaghouti, bidane sefid, shahroodi and flame seedless, ovary explants were collected at flower developmental stages iii and v and cultured in ms medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-d and bap. for differentiation of somatic embryos, ms medium was supplemented with various concentrations of iaa and bap. results showed ...

screening of native cultivars and understanding of the mechanisms involved in cold hardiness in grapevines is needed to match cultivars appropriately with growing sites and aid in breeding and selecting cultivars with improved freezing tolerance. in this study cold hardiness of fifteen grapevine (vitis vinifera l.) cultivars were evaluated using tetrazolium stain test and post freezing budbreak...
