Mediterranean almond growing is increasing, as confirmed in Italy where new orchards areas not previously interested this nut crop have been recently established. In these areas, the coastal of Latium region, knowledge eco-physiological behavior a complex interaction among cultivars, pedoclimate conditions and orchard management still poor. Optimizing fertilization strategies according to culti...

‘Ganlv 1’ is a new cultivar of Actinidia eriantha selected from the wild natural population, which has advantages moderate taste, high yield, easy peeling and ascorbic acid (AsA) content. In this study, was used to explore changes in fruit quality, soluble sugar components, sucrose metabolism-related enzymes activities enzyme genes’ expression during fruit’s development. The results showed that...

peach (prunus persica l. batsch.) is produced in most areas of iran, where flowering is hindered by temperature. using plant growth regulators to delay bloom is a suggestive measure to avoid frost damage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (mj) and salicylic acid (sa) on peach bloom delay and yield.  this study evaluated the applications of mj 0 (contro...

Roughing disorder (RD) is a significant quality barrier in citrus fruit, prevalent on easy-peeling mandarins. As RD is not yet well-understood, this study aimed to examine the changes and synergic molecular processes involved in peel RD. Peel with RD was induced by severely defruiting Satsuma mandarin trees. Morphology observations, RNA-sequencing, and targeted and untargeted metabolic analyses...

Elstar apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) on M.9 rootstock received either 5 or 35 g N tree(-1) year(-1) during the first two growing seasons after planting, applied as Ca(NO(3))(2) on a daily basis for nine weeks through a drip irrigation system. During the third growing season (1994), all trees were treated with 20 g N tree(-1) year(-1) as (15)NH(4) (15)NO(3) with applications starting on A...

This study was conducted to determine whether selecting an optimum sowing date couldimprove yield. The experiment consisted of sowing a film-covered, drip-irrigated cotton field onfour sowing dates from April to May in 2011-2012 at the Agrometeorological ExperimentalStation of Wulanwusu, which was in an arid region of north-western China. Late sowing datesproduced less yield and water-use effic...

objective(s): in recent years, there has been an increasing amount of study on early diagnosis of kidney injury through sensitive and specific biomarkers. we examined the practical applicability of the urinary levels of nag (n-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase), ap (alkaline phosphatase), and ldh (lactate dehydrogenase) as renal dysfunction screening biomarkers in full and pre-term newborns treated wi...
