The present experiment was carried out during kharif 2017-18 with the objective to know effect of biofertilizers on growth and yield parameters brinjal cv. Azad B-3. conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) ten treatments each replicated thrice. consisted both biofertilizers, chemical fertilizers different combinations along control. observations were recorded like plant height, no. primary b...

The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) fruit primary abscission zone (AZ) is a multi-cell layered boundary region between the pedicel (P) and mesocarp (M) tissues. To examine the cellular processes that occur during the development and function of the AZ cell layers, we employed multiple histological and immunohistochemical methods combined with confocal, electron and Fourier-transform infrared...

Watermelon plants cultivar ‘Kinaree 457’ were grown in plastic house under natural daylight only (control) or with nightly LED supplementary lighting for 6 h (6:00 pm-12:00 pm) 12 pm-6:00 am) starting from transplanting up to fruit harvest. Plant height, leaf chlorophyll content and yield significantly increased response lighting. Fruit mass, size (length x width) flesh thickness at treatment a...

Biogas slurry, a byproduct of biogas technology, can be used as source soil organic matter such manure. This study aimed to examine the effect giving slurry gas with input cow faeces and empty fruit bunches soaking water on growth (plant height, number leaves, branches, stem diameter leaf width) Indigofera zollingeriana. was conducted in village Tadukan Raga, STM Hilir District, Deli Serdang Re...

The genetic divergence among 36 genotypes of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) was determined through PCA, PCO, CVA, Cluster analysis (CLSA) and Mohalanobis’s D analysis. Through multivariate analysis based on 22 characters 36 genotypes were grouped into six distant clusters. Cluster VI includes maximum genotypes (12) followed by cluster I (6) and cluster II (6). Cluster V, cluster III and ...

Malania oleifera Chun et S.K. Lee is an endangered woody oil tree that produces nervonic acid, which closely related to brain development. The phenotypic variation and diversity in some representative traits natural populations are poorly understood. To investigate variation, their relationship with geoclimatic factors, we evaluated 21 of 97 sampled individuals from seven populations. Coefficie...

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening is accompanied by an increase in CHALCONE SYNTHASE (CHS) activity and flavonoid biosynthesis. Flavonoids accumulate in the cuticle, giving its characteristic orange color that contributes to the eventual red color of the ripe fruit. Using virus-induced gene silencing in fruits, we have down-regulated the expression of SlCHS during ripening and compar...

In this study, the characteristics of tetraploid and diploid watermelon’s flowers, fruits, seeds were examined, their differences investigated. As plant material, ST101 ST82; WL92, WL124, WL134, WL216, WL259-B WL235 used. Flower (pollen viability, pollen germination, number anthers per anther flower); fruit (weight, length, diameter, rind thickness TSS) seed (weight 1000 seed, width, thickness,...

This study was carried out to define different drip irrigation approaches on fruit yield and quality parameters of orange (Citrus sinensis cv. Valencia Late) trees during 2014-2016 at the private farm in Güzelyurt, Northern Cyprus. The amount water applied based total evaporation obtained from Class A pan (Kcp1:1.25, Kcp2:1.00, Kcp3:0.75 Kcp4:0.50) experimental plots were irrigated when about 3...
