rapd markers were employed to determine the diversity among 29 genotypes and cultivars of sour and duke cherry as well as a mahaleb tree genotype as an outgroup. a number of 100 random primers were examined for pcr reactions on the template dnas extracted from leaves, of which 17 primers produced polymorphic bands. these 17 selected rapd primers produced 233 bands, among which, 214 were polymor...

In this study, the effects of concentration and application time of ethephon on growth parameters; stem height, stem diameter, biomass, carbohydrate content; sucrose content, invert sugar, brix value, and juice volume of two sweet sorghum cultivars were determined. Three ethephon application time (8 leaves, booting, and flowering) and five ethephon concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm)...

Salt stress strongly affects on plant growth and development, especially maize plant, which is reported as a salt sensitive species. The salt tolerant identification in the large genetic resources and breeding population is a profitable research topic for solving the salinity problem. Two maize cultivars, viz., sweet (Zea mays L. cv. Saccharata) and waxy (Z. mays L. cv. Ceratina) seedlings were...

Japanese plums are classified as climacteric; however, some economically important cultivars selected in California produce very little ethylene and require long ripening both "on" and "off" the tree to reach eating-ripe firmness. To unravel the ripening behavior of different Japanese plum cultivars, ripening was examined in the absence (air) or in the presence of ethylene or propylene (an ethy...

Over 60% Serbian soils are heavy, shallow and acidic, especially in west part of this country. Basically, Serbian fruit production is mainly represented in these conditions which are not favorable for intensive fruit growing. However, repair of these soils is a long and very expensive process. Regarding to this, one of the real ways to overcome this problem faster and cheaper is to grow toleran...

the present investigation was carried out to examine virulence diversity among the 291isolates (seven populations) of rhizoctonia solani ag-1 ia causing sheath blight of rice by sclerotia production and pathogencity studies on four rice cultivars representing different observed disease reactions, using detached leaf inoculation method in conjunction with mycelia growth measuring. based on patho...

Current consumer trends require food products with „healthy image“. This has led to an increased interest in traditional fruit cultivars and related products. Traditional apple cultivars in Bosnia and Herzegovina are a valuable source of desirable genetic characteristics including important pomological, nutritional and technological characteristics of the fruit. The sugar and organic acid profi...
