The aim of the study was to assess whether an extra fertilization with manganese, commercial fertilizer Alkalin (N, K and Si), and combined treatment (manganese + Alkalin) affect the chemical composition of chokeberry fruits (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx) Elliot), especially sugar content and the quantity and profile of phenolics. Dry weight, soluble solids, titratable acidity, total sugar, reduci...

Six Iranian accessions of Cucumis melo, including Inodorus, Cantalupensis, and Dudaim groups, were planted and then harvested at two harvesting stages including 21 and 28 days after anthesis for Dudaim group and 28 and 38 days after anthesis for Inodorus and Cantalupensis groups. At the time of harvest, we measured some quality parameters and appearance indices of fruits, such as the number of ...

coumarins are bioactive secondary metabolites and could be found in the fruits of umbelliferae. prangos asperula boiss. is an iranian native plant which is found wild in many regions of iran. osthol, a prenylated coumarin, was isolated from the hexane extract of the fruits of p. asperula and its structure was elucidated using 1 hnmr, 13 cnmr, ir and ms spectra. the essential oil of the aerial p...

abstract in order to provide optimal yield and quality of tomato fruit (lycopersicon esculentum mill. cv. beril), different growing media for soilless culture of tomato plants were studied. seedling of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum mill, cv. beril ) were cultivated in perlite, mixture of perlite with nh4-zeolite and with raw zeolite (z:p ratio 10v:90v) and fed by two nutrient sources: a) comp...

The present experiment was conducted with 16 germplasms and two varieties of snake gourd. yield contributing traits such as node order first male flower, female days to flowering, internodal length, harvest, single fruit weight, girth, number fruits per plant, were studied assess the genetic variability, heritability advance besides correlation path coefficient analysis. study GCV PCV in gourd ...

Arya, a novel variety of melon from India is found immune to ToLCNDV under field conditions. It can serve as potential source resistance for that be imparted other melons. Unlike melons, Arya melons successfully grown both during spring summer and rainy (kharif) season. IC629818-A bear long good number fruits per plant (8-10), thus substitute kharif Moreover, IC629823 IC629818B had cream colour...

In our post-genomic world, where we are deluged with genetic information, the bottleneck to scientific progress is often phenotyping, i.e. measuring the observable characteristics of living organisms, such as counting the number of fruits on a plant. Image analysis is one route to automation. In this paper we present a method for recognising and counting fruits from images in cluttered greenhou...

Habitat degradation can reduce or even prevent the reproduction of previously abundant plant species. To develop appropriate management strategies, we need to understand the reasons for reduced recruitment in degraded ecosystems. The dioecious coco de mer palm (Lodoicea maldivica) produces by far the largest seeds of any plant. It is a keystone species in an ancient palm forest that occurs only...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most consumed vegetables in the world. The eggplant glycoalkaloids (GAs) are toxic secondary metabolites that may have detrimental effects on human health, particularly if the magnitudes of GAs are higher than the recommended food safety level (200 mg per kg of fresh mass). In this study, the content of solasonine compound and the expression pattern...

The experiment was conducted at Akwa Ibom State University Teaching and Research Farm Obio Akpa Campus during the 2020 first planting season to evaluate effect of application palm bunch ash on growth yield eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) in an established pineapple orchard. laid out a randomized complete block design replicated three times. treatments were five (5) different rates Oil - 1.0ton/...
