Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

in present research the effects of four levels (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mm) of each of salicylic acid and putrescine treatments on the quality improvement of granny smith apple fruit were studied. factorial experiment in randomized complete block with three replications on 16 trees, eighteen years in researcher station of agriculture university of tehran was designed. for this purpose the trees were spray...

Diversity in 26 microsatellite loci from section Caulorrhizae germplasm was evaluated by using 33 accessions of A. pintoi Krapov. & W.C. Gregory and ten accessions of Arachis repens Handro. Twenty loci proved to be polymorphic and a total of 196 alleles were detected with an average of 9.8 alleles per locus. The variability found in those loci was greater than the variability found using morpho...

Total soluble solid (TSS) content is commercially used as fruit quality index because of its high positive correlation with sugar content. In the present study, The effect of foliar application of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg.L-1) at 4 true leaf and fruit set stages and plant training (pruning and thinning) on TSS and soluble sugar (i.e. suc...

This study was conducted during 2008-2009 to investigate the influence of different organic nutrient combinations on yields and quality of strawberry cv. Kurdistan in Iran. The experiment comprised of five organic nutrient treatment combinations including the recommended dose of N, P and K through chemical fertilizer as control. Treatment N2 (manure+Azotobacter+ woodash+phosphorus solubilizing ...

Choosing an excellent method to compare the aim characteristics of a large number cultivars simultaneously in sufficiently comprehensive way is often essential challenge for breeders. This article presents results assessment Estonian conditions 58 strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) various geographical origins according main economically useful markers. Based on two years data, were clustered sep...

cantaloupe is a common crop and relatively important in iran which show high genetic diversity. forty nine genotypes including seven iranian endemic cantaloupes rishbaba, shahabadi, samsori, dastjerdi, magasi, tiltorogh and savei and their direct and reciprocal crosses were evaluated during two years using triple lattice design. results indicated the positive and significant correlations betwee...
