Characterization of Attributes Related to Fruit Size in Pomegranate

Effect of Methyl Jasmonate Foliar Application on Some Qualitative Attributes and Phytochemical Contents of ‘Rabab’ Pomegranate Fruit

In order to evaluate the effects of methyl jasmonate on quality of ‘Rabab’ pomegranate, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 3 replications. Trees were sprayed with different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 mM) at four different stages of fruit development including full bloom, 30, 60, and 90 days after full bloom.Control trees were sprayed...

Effect of gibberellic acid on fruit cracking in meykhosh pomegranate

Pore throat size characterization of carbonate reservoirs by integrating core data, well logs and seismic attributes

Investigation of pore system properties of carbonate reservoirs has an important role in evaluating the reservoir quality and delineating high production intervals. The current study proposes a three-step approach for pore throat size characterization of these reservoirs, by integrating core data, well logs and 3D seismic volume. In this respect, first the pore throats size was calculated using...

Pomegranate juice: a heart-healthy fruit juice.

Pomegranate juice is a polyphenol-rich fruit juice with high antioxidant capacity. In limited studies in human and murine models, pomegranate juice has been shown to exert significant antiatherogenic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects. Pomegranate juice significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion areas in immune-deficient mice and intima media thickness in cardiac pa...

Pomegranate fruit ripening: nutritional and bioactive compounds

Pomegranate fruit undergoes several biochemical changes during growth and ripening on tree leading to the fruit to reach an optimal quality at full ripening stage. These changes are increase in sugar concentration (glucose and fructose), diminution in total acidity (citric and malic acids) and increase in anthocyanin concentration. In addition an increase occurs in antioxidant activity which re...
