A NEW FACTOR IN FRUIT GROWING

The Origins of Fruits, Fruit Growing, and Fruit Breeding

Genotype-dependent response to carbon availability in growing tomato fruit.

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...

Region growing: a new approach

A new region growing method for finding the boundaries of blobs is presented. A unique feature of the method is that at each step, at most one pixel exhibits the required properties to join the region. The method uses two novel discontinuity measures, average contrast and peripheral contrast, to control the growing process.

Some Nutritional Characteristics of Fruit and Oil of Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Growing in Turkey

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) were evaluated for some physical properties and chemical composition. Ripe fruits were determined for moisture (2.71 %), crude protein (14.6 %) crude fibre (1.8%) ash (1.57%), crude energy (576Cal) ether soluble extract (24.71%), nut (10.5g) and kernel (5.09g) veights. Relative density, refractive index...

Five new nortropane alkaloids and six new amino acids from the fruit of Morus alba LINNE growing in Turkey.

Investigation of the constituents of the fruits of Morus alba LINNE (Moraceae) afforded five new nortropane alkaloids (1-5) along with nor-psi-tropine (6) and six new amino acids, morusimic acids A-F (7-12). The structures of the new compounds were determined to be 2alpha,3beta-dihydroxynortropane (1), 2beta,3beta-dihydroxynortropane (2), 2alpha,3beta,6exo-trihydroxynortropane (3), 2alpha,3beta...
