Fig fruits have recently received more attention by consumers for their quality as either fresh or dried and, consequently, growers are becoming interested in the cultivation of this species. Figs mainly consumed processed (dried, marmalade, jam, etc.), but limited has been paid to new possible processing applications several local cultivars grown Mediterranean countries. This study aimed inves...

Fig fruit has been a typical component in the health-promoting Mediterranean diet for millennia. To study the potential health-promoting constituents of fig fruits, six commercial fig varieties differing in color (black, red, yellow, and green) were analyzed for total polyphenols, total flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, and amount and profile of anthocyanins. Using reversed-phase liquid chromat...

This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

the use of chlorophyll fluorescence (chlf) technique was evaluated on nondestructive measurement of sugar content during fruit development. multivariate models, principal component analysis (pca), and partial least-squares regression (plsr), were developed for the classification and prediction of fructose, glucose, and sucrose in fig fruits. the results of this study showed a significant correl...

This study aimed at determining the effects of propagation medium and cutting types on early growth performance fig (Ficus carica L.) root shoot. The experiment was conducted Glasshouse Nursery Complex (GNC), International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). split-plot design employed with main plot (propagation medium) sub-plot (types cutting). were sand topsoil (1:3) (M1), topsoil, peat sawdu...
