in thirty-three wild cherry (prunus avium l.) accessions from central serbia, tree, leaf, fruit, and stone morphological characters were evaluated during three consecutive years. the goal was to detect relationships between the genotypes and to identify the most useful traits for discrimination among them. the study revealed a high variability in the set of the evaluated wild cherry accessions ...

in order to study adaptation ability of 15 commercial olive cultivars, this experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with three replication during the period from 2007 to 2009 in dry-warm climate of sar-pol-e-zehab dallaho olive station of kermanshah province. in this experiment, vegetative and reproductive traits were measured according to i.o.o.c. descriptors. flora...

For the energy and computing capability of nodes are limited in Wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In order to decrease the dead speed of the nodes, proposes an uneven clustering routing protocol for wireless sensor networks based on Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm (FOA-UCR). By using Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm to select a set of optimal nodes as cluster heads and selects secondary nodes f...

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 ...

to investigate flowering, fruitlet and fruit set in thomson navel orange and satsuma mandarin cv. miyagawa and sugiyama in climatic conditions of eastern mazandaran, an experiment was performed by combined analysis in randomized complete block design in three different orchards and in three consecutive years with five replications. number of flowers, fruitlets and fruits were recorded and later...

In this study the artificial pollination of pistachio was investigated. Two types of pollen of local selective genotypes (Q1 and Q2) which were different pollinizers were used. The experiment had six treatments. Qazvini and Ohadi cultivars were pollinated with supplementary pollinations as treatment which was covered with cotton bag, natural pollination as a control which was not covered and tw...

genetic diversity is essential in the implementation of breeding programs. in order to determine genetic diversity, factor analysis and heritability of yield and some morphological traits, 20 strawberry cultivars were studied at the agricultural station of kurdistan research center using a randomized complete block design with three replications. morphological characteristics such as number of ...

Background and Aims: Climate variation contributes to fluctuations in reproductive output, and spring temperature is thought to influence flower production in grapevines. For 3 years, we studied the influence of temperature from before budswell through to the appearance of individual flowers on reproductive development in field-grown Cabernet Sauvignon while minimising the influence of other mi...
