to study yield and its components by the method of multivariate analysis, 25 genotypes of melon were sown on the basis of square lattice design of 2 replications in zahak agricultural research station. analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among genotypes in some such characters as: fruit weight, width, and seed weight and yield. simple correlation coefficients sho...

this investigation was carried out in a commercial orchard in ashtian city, markazi province. the effect of n-phenyl-phthalamic acid and nutrition on fruit quantity and quality of plum cv. maragheh was studied with the aim of increasing yield. the n-phenyl-phthalamic treatments (concentrations, 0, 500 and 1000 mg/l) were performed at full bloom (80 % flowering) on 29 march. also, nutrition was ...

cross pollination in some of apples cultivar exists; also iran is near the origin of apple trees so, large genetic diversity can be seen between iranian cultivar. also very famous apple cultivar is known in iran for special flavor and taste. the name of this cultivar is golab. this research was studied in the years 2010 and 2011 in khorasan razavi province on golab apple ecotypes to evaluate ch...

most sweet cherry cultivars are as found as self-incompatible and therefore for commercial fruit production, compatible pollinizers are needed. controlled pollination and microscopic examination of pollen tube growth in the style are two classical methods for determination of compatible and incompatible pollen donor cultivars. this experiment was carried out to explore the compatibility of ‘zar...

Cornelian cherry is one of the most important small fruits in Arasbaran region, with wide applications in medicines and food products. In this study, the relationship among 28 quantitative and qualitative traits related to fruit, leaf, tree, and flower of 20 cornelian cherry genotypes was evaluated. Significant positive as well as negative correlations were found among some important quantitati...

in this investigation some chemical and morphological properties of dog rose fruit in 10 regions of north iran were measured. results showed significant difference between traits in studied regions. beta-carotene ranged between 0.05 – 0.323 (mg/g fw). total soluble carbohydrate varied from 5.9 – 23.3%. the highest content of total anthocyanin 23.7 and the lowest was 7.71(mg/l cyanidin-3-glucosi...

Grammosciadium pterocarpum subsp. bilgilii and Grammosciadium pterocarpum subsp. sivasicum from Turkey are herein described as two new subspecies, and the species Grammosciadium schischkinii is synonymied under Grammosciadium pterocarpum subsp. pterocarpum. Quantitative variation of morphological and anatomical characters have been analysed to provide discriminative characters between the taxa ...
