In this research the effect of application of different levels of folic acid and time on some quality and agronomic characteristics of strawberry (cultivar Paros) was investigated. The plants were treated by folic acid with concentrations of 0, 20 and 40 mM at two stages (30 days after planting and first blooming) as a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with four repl...

this study was conducted during 2008-2009 to investigate the influence of different organic nutrient combinations on yields and quality of strawberry cv. kurdistan in iran. the experiment comprised of five organic nutrient treatment combinations including the recommended dose of n, p and k through chemical fertilizer as control. treatment n2 (manure+azotobacter+ woodash+phosphorus solubilizing ...

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...

Strawberry softening is characterized by an increase in the solubilization and depolymerization of pectins from cell walls. Galactose release from pectin side chains by β-galactosidase enzymes has been proposed as one reason for the increase in soluble pectins. A putative β-galactosidase gene, FaβGal4, has been identified using a custom-made oligonucleotide-based strawberry microarray platform....

The effectiveness of chitosan fruit coating to delay the qualitative and nutraceutical traits of three strawberry cultivars, namely "Candonga", "Jonica" and "Sabrina", as well as the effects of chitosan on antioxidant enzymes were evaluated. The fruits were coated with 1% and 2% chitosan solution and stored at 2 °C for nine days. Samples were taken every three days. Physico-chemical (weight los...

The moderating role of salicylic acid (SA) and putrescine (PUS) as plant growth regulators (PGRs), on the growth parameters and phytochemical and qualitative characteristics of strawberry fruit 'Selva' under osmotic stress was investigated under soilless culture. The osmotic potential (salinity) of the nutrient solution containing different NaCl concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 45 mM) and fol...

background: an essential oil is a liquid that is generally distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers or other elements of a plant. objective: cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) essential oil (ceo) was analyzed to determine oil component. antifungal effect of ceo was determined by in vitro technique. in second stage, effect of different concentrations of ceo by pdm on postharvest life of strawberry (fra...
