The relationships between rooting potential with endogenous phenolic compounds, nitrogen and soluble carbohydrates of cuttings for five olive cultivars (‘Rowghani’, ‘Dusti’, ‘Tokhmekabki’, ‘Konservalia’ and ‘Amigdalolia’) were investigated. Extracts of the leaves and the base of the cuttings were used for analysis of biochemical compounds. Results showed that there were significant differences ...

Plant hormone keeps a significant role to enlarge the fruit size and quality development. Fruit growers have a lot of interest in making fruit enlargement and shorten maturity to harvest fruit earlier and to make it marketable soon. Gibberellic Acid (GA3) and bark stress play a significant role in fruit enlargement and development. Bilimbi fruit was used in this experiment. The flower bud were ...

studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and tss/ta are important for beverage and food industries. it seems that citrus rootstocks have a profound influence on oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. the aim of this research is to identify rootstock that can synthesize the maximum level of oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. peel oil was extracted using mechanical presses and eluted using n-hexane. ...

Th e aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition and antioxidants capacity of three plum cultivars, namely ‘Top’, ‘Elena’ and ‘Bistrica’. Fruits were harvested and following parameters were determined: dry matter, total acids (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), pH, vitamin C, total phenols, nonfl avonoids and antioxidant capacity. Diff erences between cultivars for most of the che...

Sea-truth water sampling campaigns were carried out in the Johore Strait, Singapore from Dec 1996 to Dec 1998, partially funded by NASDA-ESCAP for utilization of ADEOS OCTS data. Water leaving radiance and reflectance data were collected together with coincidental measurements of water quality parameters, including the total suspended solid (TSS) and the chlorophyl-a (Chl-a) loadings. Results o...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use lemon essential oil and its mixtures with chitosan, calcium chloride, natamycin on postharvest storage quality citrus. analysis physiological biochemical index changes citrus stored at 20 ± 2 °C 75 5% relative humidity for 60 days showed that could help maintain nutritional sensory In addition, increased activities superoxide dismutase (SOD), ...

Due to short shelf-life of ber fruits, developing postharvest protocols incorporating nonchemical compounds with the aim extending its shelf life and maintaining quality is one major issues regarding fruit industry. The fruits greatly affected by factors especially temperature treatment. In present study, effect chitosan coating storage on physicochemical characteristics was investigated as a f...

An experiment was conducted to study the effects of different soil water potential (SWP) on soil water content, hot pepper’s yield, water consumption and water use efficiency (WUE) under plastic-mulched drip irrigation in the North-West China in order to find a suitable SWP to guide the pepper irrigation. Five treatments were set based on SWP, they were -10kPa (N1), -20kPa (N2), -30kPa (N3), -4...

Date in this paper highlights the applications of constructed horizontal surface flow (HF-CW) wetland with two different local plants (Louis latifoila and Phragmites -australis (Cav.) Trin) at the wastewater treatment plant in Babol city. This system was designed as an advanced treatment unit in field scale after the treatment plant. Parameters such as Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Total Suspend...
