Caesalpinia echinata seeds stored in laboratory environmental conditions lose their viability in one month whilst under low temperatures germination is maintained for 18 months of storage. These seeds are tolerant to desiccation, keeping their viability up to 0.08 gH2O.gDW-1. Since soluble carbohydrates are believed to be involved with desiccation tolerance and seed storability, the aim of this...

Apples are an important component of the diet and used in food industry production products beverages. The aim study was to determine changes biochemical composition physicochemical properties apples stored a controlled atmosphere. We studied (sugars, ascorbic acid, soluble solids, titratable acidity) (color coordinates, peel, flesh firmness) apple samples before placing them atmosphere chamber...

The effect of NaCl and ABA on germination, sugars and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in sorghum embryos and endosperm was investigated. Both phytohormone and salt stress influenced different aspects at physiological and biochemical level. Germination decreased markedly under NaCl and ABA treatments. Subsequently, an influence of salt stress and ABA on total and reducing sugars along with am...

Wheat is the major nutrient source worldwide. In Pakistan, it has a crucial place in agriculture as well as in national economy. For seed biochemical compositional analysis, wheat germplasm (77 genotypes) was collected from different agro-climatic zones of Pakistan. Significant variation (p < 0.05) was observed for tested parameters among tested genotypes. Highest activity of ascorbate peroxida...

The purpose of these studies is to assess the adaptive resistance apple tree winter stresses in terms physiological and biochemical parameters, identify most resistant varieties for cultivation Krasnodar region. Objects research are various origins: Orfey, Idared, Ligol, Prikubanskoe. It was found that cryoprotective function water-soluble sugars maximally manifested Orfey their content increas...

Anthocyanins, soluble sugars, and organic acids play a vital role in the color flavor of grape berries. N KH2PO4 are essential nutrients for growth development. However, research on effects foliar spraying skin grapes under different levels were not systematic. In this study, “Flame seedless” used as test material. There six treatments experiment, including low nitrogen (LN), + (LNK), moderate ...

Breeding blueberry cultivars with enhanced fruit quality requires simple, accurate, and cost-effective assays to select individuals from segregating populations. In this study, berry diameter, weight, firmness, pH, total polyphenol, acids, D-glucose, D-fructose, glucose, sugar content were quantified in 188 southern highbush selections over 2 years. Significant variation between years, genotype...

There are complex inter- and intra-relations between regressors (independent variables) andyield quantity (W) and quality (Q) in tobacco. For instance, nitrogen (N) increases W butdecreases Q; starch harms Q but soluble sugars promote it. The balance between (optimizationof) regressors is needed for simultaneous increase in W and Q components [higher potassium(K), medium nicotine and lower chlo...

On 16th of March 2008, temperature decreased to -6ºC in some parts of the Kerman pistachio plantation area that was caused the heavy damage to pistachio growers. After the damage, some rootstocks were resistance to this temperature and no damage was interned to them. In the present study five rootstocks of resistant and five rootstocks of susceptible to frost damage were selected and evaluated ...
