[ 1 ] - Paclobutrazol-Induced Biochemical Changes in Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. ‘Malas Saveh’ under Freezing Stress
Freezing injury is an important limiting factor in the production of pomegranate in Iran.The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of paclobutrazol (PBZ) on cold hardiness of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cv. ‘Malas Saveh’. Different concentrations of PBZ including 0 (control), 31, 62, 125 or 250 mg L–1 were sprayed on one-year-old plants in August and the electrolyte leakage o...
[ 2 ] - Phenological Characteristics, Yield, and Fruit Quality of Yellow-Fleshed Nectarines under High Desert Conditions of the Northwestern United States over Five Years
An increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(Prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. Information on this subject is limited at the present time. In search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (GDD), ful...
[ 3 ] - Water stress, nano silica, and digoxin effects on minerals, chlorophyll index, and growth in ryegrass
Water shortage worldwide mandates minimum use of irrigation water with maximumefficiency and productivity in all agricultural crops, landscape plants and turf. The objective inthis experiment was to study the effect of two levels of evapotranspiration-based (ETc) droughtin combination with two levels of nanosilicon dioxide (SiO2; NanSi1=1 mM and NanSi=2 mM),two levels of digoxin (Dig1=0.25 mg.l...
[ 4 ] - Influence of 1-aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride and α-naphthalene acetic acid on fruit retention, quality, evolved ethylene, and respiration in apples
Effects of 1-aminoethoxyvinylglycine hydrochloride (AVG or Aviglycine HCl or ReTain) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on fruit retention, fruit quality, eveloved ethylene, and respiration in ‘Rome Beauty’ and three ‘Delicious’ apple cultivars (Malus domestica Borkh.) were studied. The experimental trees were treated with either AVG, applied at 120 g a.i. per 935 L. ha-1 or NAA, applied at t...
[ 5 ] - تأثیر محلول‌پاشی چند ترکیب کلسیمی طی مراحل مختلف رشد بر برخی خصوصیات کیفی میوه سیب رقم ‘فوجی’
تولید سیب فوجی در ایران با مشکلاتی از قبیل رنگ‌گیری خیلی ضعیف و بروز عارضة قهوه‌ای شدن درونی طی انبارداری همراه است. بنابراین، در این پژوهش تأثیر محلول‌پاشی سه ترکیب کلسیمی فولی‌کل (Folical)، کلسی‌کت (Calcicat) و کلرید کلسیم (CaCl2) طی فصل رشد شامل محلول‌پاشی طی کل فصل و محلول‌پاشی در اوایل، اواسط و اواخر فصل بر برخی خصوصیات کیفی شامل رنگ پوست، مقدار آنتوسیانین، غلظت اتیلن درونی، مقدار فنول کل ...
[ 6 ] - The Impacts of Medium and Benzyladenine on Micropropagation and Micrografting of the Main Commercial Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) Cultivars
Micrografting can be used to produce healthy seedlings, assess scion-rootstock compatibility and promote precocity. The first objective of this project was to study the impacts of in vitro micropropagation of four major Iranian pistachio cultivars, namely ‘Ahmad Aghaei’, ‘Akbari’, ‘Badami Sefid’ and ‘Kalle Ghochi’ in two different medium Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Driver and Kuniyuki...
