carbohydrate flow between vegetative and reproductive parts of trees is one of the determining factors of yield and fruit quality. therefore, it varies during different times of growth season. the aim of this study was to investigate the carbohydrate content variation during growth season between leaf and fruit of nectarine. so, eight nectarine trees cv. red gold selected randomly in the orchar...

This paper analyzes the impact of genes and proportional contribution of parental genotypes on the inheritance of root yield and sugar content in diploid hybrids of sugar beet. The survey included two diploid male-sterile monogerm lines and three single (SC) male-sterile hybrids as maternal components, while three multigerm diploids were used as pollinators. The partitioning of genotypic varian...

in order to study the response of new sugar beet hybrids and cultivars to curly top disease in the field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and sixteen treatments in 2007 in fasa. each plot included a hybrid or cultivar planted in three rows with eight meter length and 50cm between- row spacing. after weeding and first thinning...

for determination of irrigated sugar beet crop evaporation (etc) and water consumption a field experiment was conducted for three years (1991 to 1993)  in kabotar-abad agricultural experiment station. the climate was semi-arid according to gossen method with mean annual precipitation of 90 to 110 mm. the soil was esfahan series with a silty clay loam texture. the crop evapotranspiration was mea...

PURPOSE This study examined how college students choose beverages and whether behavioral interventions might reduce their heavy consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. METHODS From April to June 2010, 90 students participated in 12 focus groups at 6 colleges in Massachusetts and Louisiana. The study team undertook a group content analysis of the verbatim focus group transcripts using the im...

the aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of controlled fermentation of lactobacillus plantarum on sensory properties and staling of semi-loaf wheat bread. for this purpose, the effect of fermentation times (8, 16, 24 h) and sugar contents (0.5, 1, 1.5%) on activity of mentioned starter in fermentation of wheat flour (with 76% extraction rate) in a split plot design were examined. afte...
