High-density genetic linkage map plays an important role in genome assembly and quantitative trait loci (QTL) fine mapping. Since the coming of next-generation sequencing, makes the structure of high-density linkage maps much more convenient and practical, which simplifies SNP discovery and high-throughput genotyping. In this research, a high-density linkage map of cucumber was structured using...

Gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) grown naturally in Anatolia. In this study, some physico-chemical (sugar, acid, protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash etc.) characteristics and mineral composition of Gilaburu fruit have been investigated. The length, width, thickness, weight, total soluble solid, protein, crude ash, crude fiber and crude oil of fruit were found to be 1.12 cm, 1.58 cm, 1.87 cm, 0.87...

optimal nutrition of grapevine is one of the most important factors that affect the quantity, quality and time of fruit ripening. to increase the quantity and quality of ‘askari’ cultivar, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at shahrekord in 2010. treatments consisted of four levels of potassium sulfate fertilizer (zero, 300, 600 an...

Identification and selection of promising genotypes of fruit tree are primary steps in breeding programs. The economic importance of almond production in the world has stimulated numerous studies related to breeding, quantitative and qualitative traits, the increase of yield and decrease production costs. In this study, morphological and pomological characteristics of 60 cultivar and superior g...

nitrogen is one of the most important and essential lelments for plant growth and development and it has an important role on quantitative and qualitative yield production in agriculture. this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of foliar application of nitrogen on qualitative traits of tomato fruits using a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications under...

Many insects are influenced by the phenology of their host plants. In North Central Florida, Narnia femorata (Hemiptera: Coreidae) spends its entire life cycle living and feeding on Opuntia mesacantha ssp. lata. This cactus begins producing flower buds in April that lead to unripe green fruit in June that ripen into red fruit through December. Many morphological and behavioral characteristics o...

Genetic divergence among 19 eggplant genotypes was estimated using Mahalanobis’s D statistic. Altogether five clusters were formed. Cluster I contained the highest number of genotypes (7) and cluster IV and V contained the lowest (2). The pattern of distribution of genotypes from different geographical locations into five clusters was random, demonstrating that geographical isolation may not be...

experiments were carried out in a commercial orchard during 1994, 1995 and 1996 to determine the influence of chemical thinning on characterisics of fruit and alternate bearing of native olive (olea europea l) cvs. dezfoul and fishomi at early fruitlet stage. in 1994, branch sprays of naphthalene acetic acid (100, 150 and 200 mg/l), naphthalene acetamide (200 and 300 mg/l) and urea (0.6 and 1.2...
