The type and content of organic acids in fruits are important factors that determine the traits, such as nutrition flavor fruits. Fruit weight size also very economic characters fruit breeding research. To investigate inheritance patterns longan, acid contents, weight, were measured distant hybridization progenies longan ‘Huanongzao’ lychee ‘Ziniangxi’. results revealed malic accumulation exhib...

Studies were conducted in 1994, 1995, and 1997 to determine the effect of assisting natural wind pollination using an air blower on yield and fruit characteristics of three tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) cultivars. Tomato plants and flowers in the air blower–assisted treatment were vigorously vibrated at midday every other day on sunny days for 4 weeks. Plants and flowers in the control...

The claim by Dungan et al. (2002) that “in many areas possums may be the only potential dispersal vector for large-seeded native species” is unsubstantiated. There is little evidence possums excrete viable seed of large-seeded fruit greater than 10 mm diameter, and seeds up to this size are dispersed by a suite of bird species. Nowhere in New Zealand are there likely to be possums in the absenc...
