Watermelon plants grafted onto rootstocks from squash or gourds were planted at Lane, Oklahoma. Weight, dimensions, and quality (SSC, firmness, lycopene content) of a seeded (Summer Flavor® 800) and a seedless (Summer Sweet® 5244) cultivar were measured. Watermelons from non-grafted plants weighed more than those from grafted plants. Fruit shape, determined by length, circumference, and their r...

Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L.) is an important fruit produced and consumed worldwide it’s excellent source of vitamin C. However, citrus industry in Ethiopia at infant stage; which particularly due to shortage improved adapted cultivars their distribution. Considering these, six sweet were evaluated select adapted, high yielding quality cultivar/s. Different growth, phenological, yield compo...

The watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. lanatus) has high variability for fruit size, shape, rind pattern, and flesh color. This study was designed to measure the qualitative inheritance of rind phenotypes (solid dark green vs. light green). For each of the 2 families, "Mountain Hoosier" × "Minilee" and "Early Arizona" × "Minilee," 6 generations (P(a)S(1), P(b)S(1), F(1)...

this study was carried out to investigate impacts of myrobalan rootstock and blackthorn interstem on fruit growth, physico-chemical features and bioactive compounds of two apricot cultivars (‘harcot’ and ‘roksana’) in 2010 and 2011. fruits of both cultivars on myrobalan and/or blackthorn grew with a classic double sigmoid curve from full bloom time to harvest. during growth and development peri...

Cantaloupe rind washing achieved a partial surface pasteurization in a recirculating heated thermal-shower system was shown to achieve targeted bacterial reductions, relative to incoming populations on fruit, in model and commercial-scale systems. Over the two year project, several cycles of on-site testing and commercial system design and management were supported by the data developed at the ...

The experiment was conducted “to study the effect of different chemicals and packing materials on physiological organoleptic characteristics Mosambi (Citrus limetta) fruit” at Agricultural laboratory Sant Baba Bhag Singh University, Jalandhar, Punjab (India) agro. Juice ltd. Hoshiarpur FSSC LIC NO.10014063000386 Lal path lab, Nandachor, during year 2020. laid out in Completely Randomized Design...

some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (semsouri and shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. the physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (gmd), specific gravity (sg), mean firmness (mf), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). the chemical compositions were brix, titrable acidity (t...

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...
