Limited information is available regarding haskap berry maturity and corresponding postharvest characteristics. We assessed detached quality, respiration rate, ethylene production at five stages of compared storage influence on berries harvested half-blue softening stages. Ethylene’s increase successive suggests its involvement with maturation, but concomitant does not support classifying ripen...

nickel and cadmium are heavy metals with some hazards for plant metabolism. the impacts of nickel chloride (0, 400 and 800 μm) in the presence of vitamin b complex (0, 30 and 60 ml from pharmacy commercial stock) and the impacts of cadmium chloride (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 μl from 100 µm stock) in pot and cadmium nitrate (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 μl from 100 µm stock) in ...

this study performed to evaluate genetic diversity of some wild and domesticated (unknown foreign cultivars) blackberries in sanru collection based on morphological traits. results showed high diversity for flowering, ripening time and fruit juice. wild genotypes showed significant differences in leaf, flower, thorn number, fruits and seed fresh weight compared to domesticated cultivars. based ...

In the present study, we examined the composition, amount, and uptake of yolk nutrients [fat, protein, water, and carbohydrates (COH)] during incubation of eggs from 30- and 50-wk-old broiler breeder hens. Eggs were sampled at embryonic d 0 (fresh eggs), 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21 (hatch). Egg, embryo, yolk content, and yolk sac membrane were weighed, and the yolk sac (YS; i.e., yolk content + yolk...

Gracilariopsis persica is one of the most abundant red algae distributed in Persian Gulf, despite increasing use in medicine as a major source for natural biomaterials and bioactive compounds in recent years, the researches on growth parameters of this alga remains limited. The main aim of this research was to study the favorable conditions for G. persica growth. Also it was to find the suitabl...

This study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of drought stress and Azomite fertilizer on some physiological traits of two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum M.) cultivars (izmir and Izabella). A randomized complete design with factorial arrangement with three replications was used. Treatments consisted of three levels of irrigation including FC (control), FC (mild drought stress), a...

The experiment was performed to study the seed germination and seedling growth in wheat under the influence of different concentrations of copper. The germination %, plumule and radicle length, and number of lateral roots decreased with increase in copper concentration (5, 25, 50 and 100 mgl(-1)). Total chlorophyll contents declined on 14th day from 1.605 of control to 1.581, 1.242, 1.275 and 1...

Plant growth and development was affected greatly through salinity. Appropriate nutrients application on salinity condition can reduce its harmful effects and increased productivity of salinized soils. A pot experiment was carried out in 2007 in cs Lab., Department of Agronomy, Kyungpook National University, Korea to assess the effects of potassium nitrate on Gycine max (Var. Daewonkong) under ...
