iran is a part of the secondary centre of origin of melons, and therefore, there is a wealth of genetic variation of these species in this country. the amplified fragment length polymorphism (aflp) marker was applied to investigate the genetic variations among five major iranian melon cultigens (cucumis melo) and ‘ananasi’ as a general well-known cultivar. ten primer pairs were used on 90 indiv...

Expanding leaves of Capsicum frutescens L. cv. California Wonder, Cucumis melo L. cv. Hales Best, and Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cv. Washington Navel showed a marked diurnal periodicity in the incorporation of (14)C from photosynthetically fixed (14)CO(2) into amino acids. Incorporation was virtually nil at the beginning of the photoperiod, reached a maximum in the 6th to 7th hour and decreased ...

This study aimed to examine the effect of vermicompost in increasing melon growth and yield obtain a dose that was able provide best yield. The research design used Randomized Block Design (RBD) with one factor, namely consisting of: 0 tonha-1; 5 15 25 35 tonha-1. results showed application increased plant length, number leaves, leaf area, stem diameter, fruit weight per plants. gave tonha-1, 1...

The size and quality of the melon fruit yield depend on cultivar, climatic agronomic factors. A three-year field experiment investigated effect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) application irrigation (IR) (Cucumis melo L. var. saccharinus Naud.) cultivars. study was conducted a certified organic farm located in south-eastern Poland (51.36° N, 22.83° E). factors were as follows: cultivar (Melb...
