The bark tissues were collected from 4-year-old sweet cherry trees cvs. 0900 Ziraat and Lambert grafted on Gisela 5 and Mazzard rootstocks in cold-acclimated (CA) and nonacclimated (NA) stages. Bark tissues subjected to 4 °C and -5 °C injured to a limited extent in both stages. However, more than 50% injury occurred by temperatures equal to or colder than -15 °C only in NA period. Total soluble...

AIMS To investigate the effect of antagonistic yeast Pichia membranaefaciens on alleviating oxidative stress caused by Penicillium expansum in sweet cherry fruit. METHODS AND RESULTS At two maturity stages of sweet cherry fruit, P. membranaefaciens restrained blue mold rot caused by Pe. expansum. There was not any decay in yeast-treated fruit even at 5 days after inoculation. Carbonylated pro...

the use of compounds inhibiting ethylene production is very important in post-harvest technology of fruits. sweet cherry is a non-climacteric fruit with capability of ethylene production during storage period. factors that decrease ethylene production would increase fruits storage life. in this research sweet cherry fruits of mashhad cv. were sprayed with different concentrations of salicylic a...

rapd markers through an application of 23 decamer primers were employed for genetic diversity analysis of some sweet cherry cultivars. bands with good resolution and high repeatability were selected for evaluations. the 23 primers produced 188 bands, among which, 153 were polymorphic. cluster analysis of the cultivars was performed based on the presence (1) and absence (0) of the bands, using j...

Abstract The article presents the results of testing samples cherries and sweet cherries, created at All-Russian Research Institute Lupine. Cherry is one most important fruit crops in central Russia. In recent years, there has been a sharp reduction area its cultivation. main cause cherry crisis stress factors that contribute to physiological disorders, weakened resistance pathogens reduced yie...

Seasonal uptake, storage, and remobilization of nitrogen (N) are of critical importance for plant growth. The use of N reserves for new growth in the spring is especially important for sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), for which new shoot and fruit growth is concomitant and fruit development occurs during a relatively short bloom-toripening period. Sweet cherries grafted on precocious, dwarfing r...
