Four Peroxidase Loci in Red-Fruited Tomato Species: Genetics and Geographic Distribution

Identification, introgression, and validation of fruit volatile QTLs from a red-fruited wild tomato species

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major determinants of fruit flavor, a primary objective in tomato breeding. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population consisting of 169 lines derived from a cross between Solanum lycopersicum and a red-fruited wild tomato species Solanum pimpinellifolium accession (SP) was characterized for VOCs in three different seasons. Correlation and hierarchical clus...

Species identification and geographic distribution of scorpions in Jask town county, Hormozgan province

Introduction: Scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpionida) are the main causative agents of envenomation and deaths among venomous animals in Iran. The present study was aimed to identify the fauna and geographic distribution of scorpions in Jask town of Hormozgan province. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out during 2008-10 in the mountainous and low land areas of Jask town county,...

Comparison of photosynthetic efficiency and stomatal distribution in detached leaves of four rose species

Infantile cystinosis in France: genetics, incidence, geographic distribution.

A national distribution of 66 French patients, from 49 sibships, has been studied. Segregation analysis, using the maximum likelihood method, was found to agree with the theoretical values expected in recessive autosomal inheritance. The birthplaces of these patients show an unequal geographic distribution of cystinosis, the incidence being higher in Western France. Compared with the total numb...

physiological responses to drought stress in four species of tomato

investigation of the cultivated tomato plant as a plant ideal system along with the drought resistant wild species can be useful to a better understanding of the mechanisms of drought resistance and improvement of tomato plants. to investigate the effect of drought stress on leaf relative water content (rwc), electrolyte leakage and photosynthetic parameters in four species of tomato (a cultiva...
