in this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; ga3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (perlette and yaghuti). at the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and l/d ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, ta, ph, tss and fruit color were ...

drought, as an abiotic stress inflicts destructive and harmful effects on plants at their different growth stages. plants react differently to drought. among their reactions is the production of such osmolytes as proline and glycine betaine. it seems that, through exogenous application of these materials, plant resistance to drought stress can be increased. therefore, a factorial experiment, ba...

consumers prefer seedless grapes for table and raisin grape industry. release of new superior seedless grape cultivars is one of the main objectives in grape breeding programs. embryo rescue is one of the techniques to develop a new seedless cultivar. therefore, in this study, the effects of bud flower spraying with ba (50 ppm) and ccc (200 ppm) before blooming were studied in ‘flame seedless’ ...

proline and glycine betaine are the most common compatible solutes that prevent plants from destructive effects of osmotic stresses by osmotic adjustment and protection of membranes, proteins and enzymes. it has been reported that exogenous application of these compounds, can increase plant resistance to drought stress. therefore a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design ...

grown in California because of its high productivity, wide soil adaptability, seedless fruit, and versatility for use in different grape and raisin products. About 95 percent of California raisins are currently produced from ‘Thompson Seedless’ grapes, followed by ‘Fiesta’ (3 percent) and ‘Zante Currant’ (1.5 percent). The remainder are produced from ‘DOVine,’ ‘Muscat of Alexandria,’ “Sultana” ...

Currently, the AquaCrop model has been widely tested for many fruit/grain crops; root and tuber leafy vegetables, or forage crops, but is restricted to annual herbaceous species, while deciduous crops have received less if no attention. In this context, study aims test first time ability of simulate canopy cover (CC), actual evapotranspiration (ETa), total soil water content (TWC), biomass (B) ...
