A new trait, twin fused fruit, was discovered in gynoecious cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) line B 5263. Plants with the twin fused fruit trait had two fruit fused into a single unit. In addition to having the twin fused fruit trait, line B 5263 had fruit with necks, large tubercles (warts), and dark green skin. The inheritance of twin fused fruit was studied in populations resulting from crosses...

the first step in walnut breeding programs is to identify and evaluate superior genotypes of fruit trees. hence, there are various walnut breeding programs in various areas of iran. a study aimed to evaluate the morphological and chemical characteristics of selected superior genotypes of walnut was conducted in the shahroud region in 2011-2012.  the following genotypes were selected in this stu...

Drought stress is a major abiotic stress threatening plant and crop productivity. In case of fleshy fruits, understanding mechanisms governing water and carbon accumulations and identifying genes, QTLs and phenotypes, that will enable trade-offs between fruit growth and quality under Water Deficit (WD) condition is a crucial challenge for breeders and growers. In the present work, 117 recombina...

Abstract Ornamental chili is a type of plant that favors the value beauty but still has spicy taste. It generally purple fruit color because they contain anthocyanins. The biochemical content in ornamental believed to have benefits for human health. This study aims identify several compounds genotypes and pure lines. was conducted using microplate method which repeated three times. research des...

‘Crumbly’ fruit is a developmental disorder in raspberry that results malformed and unsaleable fruits. For the first time, we define two distinct crumbly phenotypes as part of this work. A consistent phenotype affecting majority fruits every season, which refer to (CFD) second where symptoms vary across seasons (MFD). Here, segregation MFD was examined full-sib family three QTL (Quantitative Tr...

Mango is an important tropical fruit of Nepal. Nepal rich in mango diversity and large numbers local genotypes have been identified different parts the country. Such are verge danger needs to properly identified, evaluated conserved. Morphological characterization step characterization, evaluation further utilization genotypes. The current study aimed characterize 33 from Doti district Far West...

BACKGROUND Elderberry (Sambucus spp.) fruit are used for food and dietary supplements in Europe and North America, and contain large amounts of cyanidin-based anthocyanins and other phenolics that may benefit human health. OBJECTIVES Information on the effect of both genotype and production environment on elderberry juice characteristics is needed in order to optimize production of quality fo...
