ZYMASIS may be measured either in terms of the C02 which escapes or in terms of the products which accumulate2. In the work described in the present and in the next two papers we have usually employed the "alcohol number" to evaluate zymasis. This number denotes the sum of the concentrations (in g. per unit mass fresh weight of tissue) of ethyl alcohol and of acetaldehyde found in the fruit by ...

red fleshed apples have high levels of anthocyanins in their flesh. iran enjoys a large variety of these apples due to its location in central asia. in the present study, 20 genotypes including eight iranian red fleshed and 12 commercial iranian and foreign apples were selected for the study of genetic diversity of red fleshed apples. we used a set of 11 microsatellite markers (ssrs) to determi...
