clementine mandarin (citrus clementina) is one of the suitable/marketable citrus species in north of iran; however, as a disadvantage has small fruits. in order to produce new citrus cultivar with large and good quality fruit, a project with four phases was conducted from 1989 until 2009. the first phase was started with controlled cross pollination between clementine mandarin as maternal, and ...

This study was conducted in stone fruit orchards five provinces of the East Mediterranean Region Turkey between years 2009-2011. The aim to determine potential aphid vectors quarantine pathogen PPV (plum pox virus, family Potyviridae) that causes serious yield losses. During surveys, 542 orchard/nurseries were sampled and 6 species (Hemiptera: Aphididae) [Brachycaudus persicae (Passerini,1860),...

This study aimed to compare the antioxidant content and antioxidant capacity of pulp and peel of two varieties of pomelo fruit (Tambun White and Tambun Pink). Antioxidants including total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and ascorbic acid content were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay, aluminium chloride colorimetric assay and AOAC method, respectively. Antioxidant capacit...

In an effort to build a comprehensive genomic approach to food safety challenges, the FDA has implemented a whole genome sequencing effort, GenomeTrakr, which involves the sequencing and analysis of genomes of foodborne pathogens. As a part of this effort, we routinely sequence whole genomes of Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) isolates associated with human listeriosis outbreaks, as well as those is...

The interactions between the fruit ßy Anastrepha spatulata Stone (Diptera: Tephritidae) and two species of moths, the gelechiid Coleotechnites sp. and an unidentiÞed tortricid species, were examined on their effects on seed production in terms of their exploitation within fruits of Schoepfia schreberi J.F. Gmel (Santalales: Olacaceae). The studywas carried out in three experimental sites during...

in thirty-three wild cherry (prunus avium l.) accessions from central serbia, tree, leaf, fruit, and stone morphological characters were evaluated during three consecutive years. the goal was to detect relationships between the genotypes and to identify the most useful traits for discrimination among them. the study revealed a high variability in the set of the evaluated wild cherry accessions ...
