In this study, the effects of foliar kaolin particle film treatment (PF) on some table grape quality characteristics cv. Trakya Ilkeren grown in Ankara conditions were investigated. The application (3%) was started just after fruit set. Treatments repeated weekly for three weeks. Yield per vine found to be 3.60 kg Control (C) and 3.93 PF treatment. No significant effect yield determined. TSS ma...

Reducing the use of fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides in order to limit environmental pollution health risks for agricultural operators consumers is one goals European regulations. In fact, Commission developed a package measures (the Green Deal) promote sustainable natural resources strengthen resilience agri-food systems. As consequence, new plant protection products, such as biostimul...

Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), an important nitrogen source (34% N), has been used as an elicitor to stimulate plant growth and development as well as induce secondary metabolites under controlled conditions. In the present paper, we investigated the enhancement of cell biomass, total phenolics, resveratrol levels, and antioxidant activity of Vitis vinifera cv. Pok Dum by nitrogen enrichment (MS me...

In this study Illumina MiSeq was performed to investigate microbial diversity in soil, leaves, grape, grape juice and wine. A total of 1,043,102 fungal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) reads and 2,422,188 high quality bacterial 16S rDNA sequences were used for taxonomic classification, revealed five fungal and eight bacterial phyla. At the genus level, the dominant fungi were Ascomycota, Sorda...

We overview the GRAPE (GRAvity piPE) project. The goal of the GRAPE project is to accelerate the astrophysical N -body simulations. Since almost all computing time is spent for the evaluation of the gravitational force between particles, we can greatly accelerate many N -body simulations by developing a specialized hardware for the force calculation. In 1989, the first such hardware, GRAPE-1, w...

The aim of this review is to discuss the accumulating evidence that suggests that grape extracts and purified grape polyphenols possess a diverse array of biological actions and may be beneficial in the prevention of some inflammatory-mediated diseases including cardiovascular disease. The active components from grape extracts, which include the grape seed, grape skin, and grape juice, that hav...

The objective of this work was to study the agronomic effects application agri-food composts in almond trees (Prunus dulcis L.) cultivated two different areas with varieties (cv. Guara and cv. Ferraduel), both organic farming conditions throughout cropping cycles. To reach objective, production quality issues (seed production, kernel yield, nutrient contents quality), as well several physico-ch...
