In grafted apple combinations, rootstocks can increase the stress tolerance of plants, influence scion growth, and harbor a rich microbial community. However, whether scions modify plant rootstock phenotypes rhizosphere bacterial communities has not been clearly investigated. Here, 14 different combinations two cultivars on 7 genotypes were used as research materials, we analyzed traits, commun...

Apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) is the fourth fruit in importance and Iran ranks fifth in apple production in the world. Longevity of juvenility in apple extends breeding cycles and makes its breeding a tough job. To alleviate this barrier via genetic engineering, the genes involved in flowering and floral development of apple and their function must be identified and characterized. Most of thes...

Background and Purpose: Patulin is one of the important mycotoxins, produced by a wide range of molds, including Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Bysochlamys. Patulin is mainly found in the rotten parts of fruits and vegetables, such as apples, pears, peach, apricots, and grapes. Currently, the Codex Alimentarius and Food and Drug Administration have recommended a maximum level of 50 μg/L patul...

using apple clonal rootstocks is necessary for improving crop efficiency in apple orchards. after graftingof apple cultivars on malling rootstocks, the extra parts of the rootstock was used as stem cuttings. apical,middle and basal parts of these shoots were used as cuttings. two propagation conditions, greenhouse andnursery and three concentrations of indole-3- butyric acid (iba) on rooting, c...

Nano-fertilizers can increase value of products in agriculture. Iron plays many important and essential roles in plant growth and development as compared to other micronutrients. In the present study, effects of different levels of enriched nano chelated Iron fertilizer (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1)  were investigated in comparison with the common Iron (FeSO4.7H2O) on in vitro proliferation of ...

Changes in ecological conditions Turkey are among the rare countries where most plant species spread widely throughout country, both economically and naturally. In this study on apple, which is one of important fruit with economic importance, color characteristics, biochemical sugar contents some commercial apple cultivars grown Çarşamba district Samsun province were examined. Wide variations o...
