world apricot (prunus armeniaca l.)  production is increasing steadily due to breeding of new high yielding cultivars in different countries. more recently, breeding programs have been modified according to consumers’ demands and also improvement in resistance to diseases (sharka, monilinia etc.), frost damages, and determination of self-(in) compatibility. in this study, fourteen apricot breed...

Changes in physicochemical traits, peel colour, and juice attributes of four blood orange cultivars (‘Moro’, ‘Tarocco’, ‘Sanguinello’, ‘Sanguine’) were evaluated during 180 days at 2 5 °C plus 20 for shelf life. ‘Tarocco’ had the lowest weight firmness losses both temperatures storage. Titratable acidity (TA) was higher than °C, with ‘Sanguinello’ showing highest TA, respectively. Juice content...

Many important apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) fruit quality traits are regulated by multiple genes, and more information about quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for these traits is required for marker-assisted selection. In this study, we constructed genetic linkage maps of the Japanese apple cultivars 'Orin' and 'Akane' using F1 seedlings derived from a cross between these cultivars. The 'Orin'...

this research evaluated the effects of onion curing methods on the qualitative traits of iranian onion cultivars (azarshahr red, neishabour red, kashan white, qom white). testing was carried out in the autumn and winter of 2007. the experimental design was factorial with two factors and three replicates. the factors were traditional and sunlight curing methods at 42°c for 12 hr for 48°c for 4 h...

Strawberry is a very popular fruit, appreciated for its unique flavor and many beneficial traits such as antioxidants useful amino acids, which strongly contribute to the overall quality of product. Indeed, fresh fruit fundamental aspect consumers, it crucial success breeding activities well enhancing competitiveness profitability industry. Nowadays, entire supply chain requires simple fast sys...

Twenty-eight apple cultivars were selected for their potential hard cider production in Ontario; juice characteristics measured 2017 and 2018, beginning two years after planting 2015. After being harvested pressed, each sample underwent analyses to determine soluble solids concentration (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN), polyphenolic concentration. Soluble ran...

in the current research, salicylic acid and putrescine treatments solutions each with 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mm/l levels were sprayed on the ‘granny smith’ apple trees in three preharvest stages. the treatments were applied based on factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design. weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), ph, tss/ta, peel color, an...

Apricot is grown in a wide range of climatic conditions in Iran, however, it is frequently damaged by late spring frost. In this case, identification of new genotypes tolerant to cold stress is indispensably needed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic population and relationships among 27 apricot accessions (Prunus armeniaca) by 30 microsatellite markers and 11 morp...
