Abstract Responses of three tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) hybrids viz. 'Luanova', 'Savarona' and 'Tessera' to various doses (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 2.0 g L-1) soil application humic acid (HA) were evaluated in terms plant growth, productivity quality fruits, under greenhouse conditions, during 2011-12 2012-13. In addition improved characteristics, higher values for yield components recorded ...

Fruits are one of the most important sources of polyphenols for humans, whether they are consumed fresh or as processed products. To improve the phenolic content of fruits, a novel field of interest is based on results obtained using elicitors, agrochemicals which were primarily designed to improve resistance to plant pathogens. Although elicitors do not kill pathogens, they trigger plant defen...

The effects of partial root-zone drying (PRD) on tomato fruit growth and proteome in the pericarp of cultivar Ailsa Craig were investigated. The PRD treatment was 70% of water applied to fully irrigated (FI) plants. PRD reduced the fruit number and slightly increased the fruit diameter, whereas the total fruit fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) per plant did not change. Although the growth r...

Infestation of harvested apple fruits by the peach fruit moth (Carposina sasakii Matsumura) was studied using a dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus equipped with a 0.2-T permanent magnet. Infested holes on the three-dimensional (3-D) images tracked ecological movements of peach fruit moth larvae within the food fruits, and thus in their natural habitat. Sensitive short solenoid...

This investigation was undertaken to study the effect of boron on flower and fruit setting and yield of ratoon crop of brinjal (Solanum melongina L) in the Eastern Region of Sri Lanka. The treatments were arranged in a Randomized Complete Design (RCBD) replicated three times. The treatments were defined as follows: T1-50 ppm, T2-100 ppm; T3-150 ppm and T4Control along with recommended fertilize...

Aim: To study the multivariate analysis, genetic parameters and correlation for post harvest quality yield traits in tomato.
 Study Design: The variability twenty genotypes of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was evaluated 18 attributes using randomized block design analyzed with methods.
 Place Duration Study: Twenty augmented from Indian Institute Vegetable Research, Varanasi were s...

BACKGROUND Parthenocarpic tomato lines transgenic for the DefH9-RI-iaaM gene have been cultivated under open field conditions to address some aspects of the equivalence of genetically modified (GM) fruit in comparison to controls (non-GM). RESULTS Under open field cultivation conditions, two tomato lines (UC 82) transgenic for the DefH9-RI-iaaM gene produced parthenocarpic fruits. DefH9-RI-ia...

study on relationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiencyof a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study,interrelationships between yield and its components in cantaloupe were investigatedusing sequential path coefficient analysis. to determine important components of yieldin cantaloupe, 49 genotypes generated from 7 × 7 diallel, were evaluated...
