Lycium chinense is a shrub that has health benefits and is used as a source of medicines in Asia. In this study, a full-length cDNA clone encoding β-ring carotene hydroxylase (LcCHXB) and partial-length cDNA clones encoding phytoene synthase (LcPSY), phytoene desaturase (LcPDS), ξ-carotene desaturase (LcZDS), lycopene β-cyclase (LcLCYB), lycopene ε-cyclase (LcLCYE), ε-ring carotene hydroxylase ...

in order to determination of elite genotype of cornelian cherry (cornus mas l.) in east azerbaijan province, iran, current study was conducted in complete factorial randomized design with three replication on 14 local commercially cultivated genotypes in orchards of kaleibar, east azerbaijan, iran in 2014. for this purpose, 16 quantitative, qualitative and biochemical characteristics of fruits ...

nitrogen is one of the most important and essential lelments for plant growth and development and it has an important role on quantitative and qualitative yield production in agriculture. this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of foliar application of nitrogen on qualitative traits of tomato fruits using a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications under...

a study of the combining ability and gene effects, that can obtained through diallel cross analysis provides considerable information to breeders for a design of breeding programs. inheritance and genetic control of yield and its components were studied in a full diallel cross for seven iranian cantaloupe cultivars namely: rish-baba, shah-abadi, samsouri, dastjerdi, magasi-neyshabour, till-toro...

deficit irrigation is an essential optimization method for water consumption in irrigated lands. in order to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation on growth, yield and quality traits of two tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill.) cultivars a factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research station of miandoab during...

The current experiment was carried out to determine the effect of application ethephon on maturation “Peter” figs. Fig fruits were treated with three aqueous concentrations (500, 1000, and 1500 ppm) during developmental stage. physic-chemical characteristics, such as fruit weight, length, diameter, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity recorded analysed. results showed that period fig significant...

abstract in order to study the effect of planting density and branch pruning on growth, yield and quality of greenhouse muskmelon, a study has been conducted using a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications and three factors, including cultivar (galia-52 and mirella), branch pruning (1 and 2 branch per plant), and plant density (2, 2.4, 2.8 and 3.6 plants p...
