The effects of salicylic acid (SA) and Putrescine (Put), on cut Gladioluswas studied. SA (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and Put (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. This study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 192 Gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of...

The study was conducted in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 7 treatments replicated thrice. were T1 (pomegranate juice 1ltr + 0.5 g yeast 500 sugar), T2 1g 500g T3 1.5g T4 2g T5 2.5g T6 3g T7 3.5g sugar). pomegranate fermented using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. cider assessed for the physico-chemical changes that occurred throughout its 90 days of storage, as well sensory quality a 9-point ...

The green bean is an important crop worldwide, because it rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, as well bioactive compounds that provide with functional properties; however, the composition of many landraces still unknown. purpose this project was to characterize Phaselus vulgaris coccineus L. landrace beans on pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, sugars, color parame...

Isotonic drinks can replace body fluids quickly because they contain electrolytes needed by the body. This study uses young coconut water as primary raw material with addition of pineapple juice to improve taste and nutritional value isotonic drinks. aimed determine characteristics adding different formulations sweeteners. used a factorial block randomized experimental design consisting two fac...

Pectin methylesterase (PME, EC 3.1.11) demethoxylates pectins and is believed to be involved in degradation of pectic cell wall components by polygalacturonase in ripening tomato fruit. We have introduced antisense and sense chimeric PME genes into tomato to elucidate the role of PME in fruit development and ripening. Fruits from transgenic plants expressing high levels of antisense PME RNA sho...

Effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of F1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon Hi-U 16 was examined. In this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. The plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. Fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. Fruit weight, diam...

This study aimed to assess the chemical responses of forage watermelon fruit at different maturity stages or storage lengths, performing two experimental tests. In first test, four were assessed: 30, 45, 60, and 75 days after anthesis, with replicates. second fruits maintained under three lengths: T1D (harvest day), T3M (3 months harvest), T6M (6 eight Experimental design was completely randomi...

to investigate the effects of regulated deficit irrigation (rdi) on the growth, yield and quality of ‘yali’ pears, field experiments for c (fully watered control), ew [early withholding of irrigation, water stress from pullulation to 25 days after flower bloom (dafb)], mw (mid-growth withholding of irrigation, water stress from 25 dafb to 80 dafb), and lw (late withholding of irrigation, water ...
