Tomato fruit growth and composition depend on both genotype and environment. This paper aims at studying how fruit phenotypic responses to changes in carbon availability can be influenced by genotype, and at identifying genotype-dependent and -independent changes in gene expression underlying variations in fruit growth and composition. We grew a parental line (Solanum lycopersicum) and an intro...

Guava is one of the most important commercial fruit crop in Bangladesh due to its high nutrient value, good taste and high health benefits. This study was conducted to investigate the flowering, fruiting behavior and nutritional quality of guava genotype suitable for coastal region of Bangladesh. Fifteen genotypes (PG 01 to PG 15) having satisfactory growth were selected for this study. One bra...

abstract considering to importance and high genetic diversity of pear (pyrus communis l.) in iran, a study was conducted on the effect of genotype on fruit physicochemical properties and qualitative characteristics of six mature european pear genotypes in teheran, iran environmental conditions. in this study some physicochemical fruit properties and qualitative characteristics such as: fruit le...

the cornelian cherry is one of those less common but, nevertheless, interesting fruit species found in serbia which can be used both for food and medicine. due to a great importance of cornelian cherry fruits as safe food and a wide interest in growing this fruit species, this research was focused on examining the production technique of quality planting material of particularly large-fruit sel...

the level of self-compatibility of the 48 pre-selected apple cultivars, using their own pollen, the genetic capacity of flowering, flower-fruit conversion ratio, multiple fruit fall and bearing preservation during 4 successive biological growth stages were examined through two main treatments of self and cross pollination, in horticulture research station of kamalshahr in karaj (iran). the frui...

selection of superior chance seedling genotypes is an important task in pear breeding programs. this research was carried out in order to explore and evaluate some of european pear (pyrus communis l.) chance seedling genotypes that are primarily used as rootstock for the asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) in tarbiat modares university (tmu) asian pear collection orchard. after four years visual ...

although self incompatibility in walnut has not been reported, but the dicogamy limits self pollination of walnut cultivars. as the density of female flowers produced by the tree is low, if a high fruit set occurs, yield especially in terminal bearing cultivars will not be high. so breeding of a pollinizer cultivar with proper pollen shading period is highly necessary for increasing fruit produ...

this research was conducted to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative andquantitative characteristics and their correlation in 80 almond genotypes. qualitative traits were studiedaccording to gulcan descriptor. quantitative traits were analyzed as completely randomized design(crd), with 12 replications. the results showed that genotypes had significant difference i...
