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 ...

... Almost all olive produced in Iran is harvested using hand labor. The main problem in this case is high cost and shortage of laborers. The cost of operation can be reduced and harvest carried out on time if the operation is mechanized using appropriate machines and methods. In year 2009 an experiment was conducted in order to study the effects of mechanized harvesting and use of abscission agent on ...

Twenty four isolates of Fusarium graminearum, half of which were 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-ADON) and half 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-ADON) chemotypes, were tested for their ability to produce deoxynivalenol and to cause Fusarium head blight (FHB) in spring wheat cultivars. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) whether 3-ADON isolates differ in aggressiveness, as measured by the FHB i ...

Abstract:

Seed priming (controlled hydration followed by drying) alleviates this thermoinhibition by increasing the maximum germination temperature. We conducted a quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of seed germination responses to priming using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) ...

Abstract:
... Leaf area is a commonly used measurement in many horticultural research experiments, but is generally destructive, requiring leaves to be removed for measurement. Leaf removal precludes repeated measures and disrupts carbohydrate assimilation and translocation, which is another frequent parameter of interest. Numerous methods have been devised for estimating leaf area of individual leaves in situ. ...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of Cd accumulation in crop species will aid production of safe Cd-free food. Here, we identified a single recessive gene that allowed higher Cd translocation in rice, and also determined the chromosomal location of the gene. The Cd hyperaccumulator ...

Cultivar survival was established using the provocation pot method over three winters. The levels of WCS120 were determined by immu ...

Abstract:
... Phosphorus (P) is one of the major factors worldwide limiting crop growth. Enhancing P efficiency in plants can be achieved through improving P acquisition, utilization, or both. Which of these approaches is more critical for enhancing P efficiency in crops, particularly in intensive cropping systems? P availability is unevenly distributed through the soil profile. Most modern crop cultivars are s ...

Otan with high degree of this trait expression was more tolerant to temperature stress (40°C, 4 h during 2 days (2h/day)). Changes in parameters of chlorophyll fluorescence, F v/F m and R Fd690, suggest that cv. ...
