Subject:
cultivars; flowers; frost injury; fruit set; fruits; heritability; open pollination; peaches; risk
Abstract:
... Factors affecting productivity in peach, such as flower density, initial and final fruit set by open pollination, and yield per m length of shoot were studied in 40 cultivars during a three-year period. Significant differences among cultivars were found for all studied properties. The coefficients of variability were the lowest for initial fruit set and then for final fruit set and flower density; ...

Abstract:
... The 15N natural abundance technique is one of those most easily applied ‘on farm’ to evaluate the contribution of biological N2 fixation (BNF) to legume crops. When proportional BNF inputs are high, the accuracy of this technique is highly dependent on an accurate estimate of the 15N abundance of the N derived from N2 fixation (the ‘B’ value). The objective of this study was to determine the influ ...

Abstract:
... A novel chitinase gene (PjCHI-1) isolated from Paecilomyces javanicus, a non-nematophagous fungus, and driven by a CaMV35S promoter, was delivered into CLN2468D, a heat-tolerant cultivar of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). T₁ tomato plants exhibited high endochitinase activity and reduced numbers of eggs and egg masses when infected with the root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne incognita. The eggs f ...

... Powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera aphanis, is a major disease of strawberry worldwide. The importance of the disease varies with production system (June bearing vs day neutral) which could be explained in part by the concurrent presence of susceptible leaves or berries and abundant airborne inoculum. Age-related susceptibility was studied by inoculating strawberry leaves and berries at differe ...

The amino acid profile, amino acid score and total protein content were determined in ten traditional potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars from Tenerife (Bonita, Bonita negra, Azucena negra, Mora, Borralla, Terrenta, Colorada de baga, Negra, Peluca blanca and Palmera lagarteada). There were significant differences among the potato cultivars in total protein content, and in the amino acids that wer ...

... Argyranthemum frutescens is a commercially important ornamental species with extensive breeding programmes in several countries. Since it is vegetatively propagated there is a great need for tools for identification of cultivars. Vegetatively propagated species require clean-up from diseases, often performed through meristem-tip cultures. Forty-three cultivars of A. frutescens propagated by merist ...

Abstract:
... Benifuuki is a tea cultivar with an antiallergic effect stronger than that of Yabukita tea, the most popular green tea cultivar consumed in Japan. The effective compound is (−)-epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl)gallate (EGCG3′′Me), an O-methylated derivative of EGCG. This study examined the antihypertensive effects of EGCG3′′Me and Benifuuki tea. First, it was determined that EGCG3′′Me has a signif ...
