Pear (Pyrus spp) is an important fruit crop, grown in all temperate regions of the world, with global production ranked after grape and apples among deciduous tree crops. A high-density linkage map is a valuable tool for fine mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) and map-based gene cloning. In this study, we firstly constructed a high-density linkage map of pear using SNPs integrated with SSRs,...

Some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (Semsouri and Shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. The physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (GMD), specific gravity (SG), mean firmness (MF), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%).

It is generally accepted that the color of salmon products is one of the most important quality parameters. Therefore, color plays a decisive role when evaluating the quality of the product at point-of-sale. The colors resulting from the deposition of carotenoids are considered to be of significant behavioral importance to animals. However, in addition to their coloration properties, the carote...

A novel color rendering algorithm for printing images with flesh tone content is addressed in this paper. Instead of rendering the whole image with one Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD), two CRDs, a global CRD and a flesh tone CRD are employed to correct the image adaptively. First, the optimal CRD for flesh-tone is designed by densely sampling, in color space, the flesh tone region and selectin...

These characters are not flesh and blood creatures, of course, but are imagined human beings wh...
