Fruit of European seedless cucumber were grown in a greenhouse under low and high phosphorus (P) fertilization regimes. Tissue P concentration of fruit (number one grade) from low-P plants was, on average, 45% of that of fruit from high-P plants. Fruit P status affected membrane lipid chemistry and fruit respiration after harvest. Mesocarp tissue of low-P fruit had a lower concentration of phos...

Plasticulture studies were continued on bell pepper. Total marketable fruit yields of 4.85, 3.94 and 3.09 tons per acre were obtained from plants grown on silver, white, and black plastic mulches, respectively. Number of fruits produced per plant followed the same trend. Individual fruit weights of 85-117g were not significantly different among treatments. Fruit set as indicated by number of fr...

Commonwealth contributions to the British diet 69 were much lower than in 1939, the decline would not appear to be permanent; it is partly explained by heavy sales to the Continent. The Union can supply processed fruit-jam, marmalade, canned fruit, dried fruit, fruit pulp and fruit juices-in substantial quantities. With some, e.g. dried fruit and fruit juices, the price obtainable militates aga...

This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

Rhagoletis juglandis Cresson is a specialist that deposits its eggs into the husks of developing walnut fruit. Like other walnut infesting ßies in the R. suavis group, R. juglandis actively superparasitizes its larval hosts. However, little is known regarding the degree to which hosts are reused and the ecological context under which host reuse occurs. This Þeld study examined the pattern of ho...

The first aim of this study was to investigate the stability of the Fruit Test and Vegetable Test over time and whether the Fruit Test and Vegetable Test are capable of measuring fruit and vegetable intake with consistency. Second, the study aimed to examine criterion (concurrent) validity of the Fruit Test and Vegetable Test by testing their agreement with 7-day food diary-derived measures of ...
