High temperature tolerance is an important component of adaptation to arid and semiarid cropping environment in chili pepper. Two experiments were carried out to study the genetic variability among chili pepper for heat tolerance and morphophysiological traits and to estimate heritability and genetic advance expected from selection. There was a highly significant variation among the genotypes i...

effect of three different levels of fe-eddha foliar application and soil application of nitrogen on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of apple (cv. fuji) grafted on maling-9 was evaluated. this experiment carried out at the experimental field of tehran university, in 2013. the factorial experiment was carried out as randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replicatio...

Evaluation of eggplant (Solanum melongena) genotypes, including one control check and nine mutants for ten agronomical characters to assess the magnitude of variability and to pick up the heritable component of variation present in the agronomic traits, revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the studied characters indicating the presence of substantial genetic variability....

This study aimed to identify Bhutanese mandarin accessions using morphological characteristics. A total of 30 accessions were selected from six districts in the major mandarin-growing regions in Bhutan. Samples of 15 leaves, 5 flowers and 15 fruit were collected randomly from each accession. A total of 23 characters were evaluated from the trees, leaves, flowers and fruit from each plant. A dic...

The present study was conducted on five ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk) cultivars (Komethry, Pakstany, Um-sulaem, Toffahy and Peyuan) grown in Saudi Arabia during 2005 and 2006 seasons. The aim of the present study was to investigate fruit properties (fruit weight, length, diameter, shape, specific gravity, seed weight, pulp percentage, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity percentage, TSS/acid, v...

The experiments were carried out in two research stations (MARDI Bukit Tangga, Kedah, and MARDI Seberang Perai, Penang) in Malaysia. The crossings were performed using the four inbred lines in complete diallel cross including selfs and reciprocals. We evaluated the yield components and fruit characters such as fruit yield per plant, vine length, days to fruit maturity, fruit weight, total solub...

this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of application of super absorbent on the yield and water use efficiency of cucumber under deficit irrigation conditions in greenhouse. plants cultivated in plastic pots and irrigation emitter with four liters per hour discharge was performed. three levels of irrigation water height (10, 8.3 and 6.2 mm day-1) were used as the main factor ...

Prolonging the marketing period of peach fruits in Egypt through introducing new cultivars, breaking dormancy early or delaying maturity of some cultivars by safe compounds would increase the growers' profits. This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2005 and 2006 by using "Desert Red" peach cultivar (Prunus persica L.) grafted on Nemaguard rootstock. Trees were grown at El-Noubar...
