Recent advance of bioinformatics and analytical apparatuses such as next generation DNA sequencer (NGS) and mass spectrometer (MS) has brought a big wave of comprehensive study to biology. Comprehensive study targeting all genes, transcripts (RNAs), proteins, metabolites, hormones, ions or phenotypes is called genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, hormonomics, ionomics or phenomi...

Diurnal variations in photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, xanthophyll cycle, antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant metabolism in leaves in response to low sink demand caused by fruit removal (-fruit) were studied in 'Zaojiubao' peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batch) trees during the final stage of rapid fruit growth. Compared with the retained fruit treatment (+fruit), the -fruit treatment resul...

Apple stem grooving virus (ASGV) is one of the most important viral pathogens infecting pome and stone fruit trees worldwide. In this study, with the complete nucleotide sequence of isolate ASGV-T47, which we generated, molecular variation and recombination in ASGV full genomic sequences worldwide were analyzed. ASGV-T47 shared 79.7-97.6% nucleotide identity with the other isolates worldwide an...

Studies of zoochorous seed dispersal systems often consider crop size, yet seldom consider the kinds and amounts of fruits surrounding parent plants (the fruit neighborhood) when attempting to explain among-plant variation in fruit removal. We studied avian frugivory at 24 Schefflera morototoni trees from February to May 1998 in central Puerto Rico. The number of fruits removed by avian seed di...

BACKGROUND Pollination has a great effect on the yield of fruit trees. Blow flies are considered as an effective pollinator compared to hand pollination in fruit orchards. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of different pollination methods in mango orchards. METHODOLOGY The impact of pollination on quantity and quality of mango yield by blow flies was estimated by using...

One of the main requirements new stone fruit varieties recommended for commercial cultivation is a compact crown shape that allows greater plant density and easier maintenance. The aim research was to establish growth processes above-ground parts cherry trees in different ripening periods. article presents results studies features apical lateral sweet trees. Biological varietal tree strength, t...

generally, fruit trees should produce sufficient yield annually through their economic life. fruit trees usually produce flowers over their ability of productivity. if all of the flowers are converted to fruit, the tree will be weak and poor smaller fruit will be produced and it may cause alternate bearing. thus some flowers must be removed by hand, mechanically or chemically. in this study, th...

in recent years, symptoms of virus diseases on stone fruits have been observed in wide range in golestan province. in order to study the important viruses on stone fruits, cherry, plum, nectarine, peach and apricot trees with symptoms such as mosaic, chlorosis, ring spot, shot hole, pale margins in leaves and dwarf in trees, sampling was done during 2005. putative infected plants were tested by...

‘Lingwu Changzao’ (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Lingwuchangzao), a cultivar of Ziziphus in the Rhamnaceae family, is traditional jujube Ningxia, China. For Changzao’, morphological traits are prominent characterizing fruit yield, quality, and consumer acceptance. However, measurements for cultivation limited. Therefore, objective this study to measure growing patterns selected during development. ...

The effect of nine different pesticides on the growth of yeasts isolated from the leaves of fruit and forest trees was investigated. Four insecticides (with the active ingredients: thiacloprid, deltamethrin, lambdacyhalothrin, and thiamethoxam) and five fungicides (with the effective substances: bitertanol, kresoxim-methyl, mancozeb, trifloxystrobin, and cupric oxychloride) were tested. The con...
