This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of stingless bee Tetragonula cf. biroi pollination on fruit formation bitter melon Momordica charantia plants. We used hoods observed In first hood, bees are inserted help pollinate 100 plants, while in other hoods, not so that there is no assistance pollinating The method focal sampling for 25 days observation. Based results study, increased percen...

grapevine is one of the very important fruit crops in iran the fruit of which is used as table grape and/or raisins. in this study, some genetic parameters (phenotypic and genetic correlation, heritability and repeatability), of some important traits in table grape (date of ripening, weight, length and width of berry as well as attachment to cluster strength) were evaluated. results showed high...

The type and content of organic acids in fruits are important factors that determine the traits, such as nutrition flavor fruits. Fruit weight size also very economic characters fruit breeding research. To investigate inheritance patterns longan, acid contents, weight, were measured distant hybridization progenies longan ‘Huanongzao’ lychee ‘Ziniangxi’. results revealed malic accumulation exhib...

Kazakhstan has very rich walnut genetic resources; however there is no ongoing walnut breeding program. Kazakhstan government has several projects in cooperation with Russia, USA, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Poland for plant breeding purposes. In the present research walnut genetic resources originated from Jabağıl, Tulkıbas, Sayram, Lenger, and Botanical Garden of International Hodja Ahmet Ye...

In 2002, daily fluctuations in trunk diameter and fruit diameter on ‘Conference’ pear trees were measured with linear voltage displacement transducers. On an average sunny day in July, trunk diameter started to decrease around 10 a.m. when air temperature increased. This continued until 8 p.m. when air temperature started to decline. Fruit diameter growth of ‘Conference’ ceased as soon as trunk...

In seed-dispersal mutualisms, the number of fruit a plant displays is a key trait, as it acts as a signal for seed dispersers that entails fruit removal and exportation of reproductive units (fruit crop size hypothesis). Although this hypothesis has gained general acceptance, forces driving the shape and strength of natural selection exerted by birds on fruit crop size remains an unresolved mat...
