Summer fruit drop (June drop) is one of the main reasons for low yield in some citrus varieties in northern Iran. Recognition of physiological changes in fruit abscission zone (calyx) and application of suitable treatments would reduce or control abscission. Hence, the changes of auxin, cellulose, and polygalacturonase in calyx of Thomson navel fruitlets were measured and their relations with a...

When harvesting Lycium barbarum L., excess amounts of detachments the half-ripe fruit, unripe flowers, and leaves significantly affect yield adversely subsequent processing, such as drying grading. Finite element method (FEM) simulations experiments were performed to harvest more ripe fruit less leaves. Three-dimensional (3D) models leaves, calyxes (flower calyx), stems stem), branches construc...

The present study was undertaken to develop potassium management recommendations that maximize yield and post harvest quality of tomato. Studies were conducted at Faculty of Agriculture, Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, KPK, Pakistan during 2008-2009. A pot experiment was designed, which included six potassium fertilizer treatments (75, 150, 225, 300, 375, 450 Kg K2O ha ) with basal doses of...

for evaluation of iranian onion morphotypes potentials and application of them in breedingprogrames, seeds of 23 iranian onion morphotypeswere collected from east azarbaijan (redazarshahrmorphotypes), tehran (red rey morphotypes), razavi khorasan (red neyshaboormorphotypes) and zanjan (gholyghese morphotypes). these onion morphotypes were planted inrcbd design in four replications in seed and p...

The aim of this study, which involved a field experiment conducted in north-eastern Poland, is to evaluate the phytometric parameters, yield, and biological value fruit three tomatillo cultivars grown soil mulched with black PE (polyethylene) film covered non-woven PP (polypropylene) fabric. A two-factor was 2015 2017–2018 Agricultural Experiment Station owned by University Warmia Mazury Olszty...

INTRODUCTION This paper attempts to verify the anatomical veracity of the belief that in order to enter into a posterior calyx one must aim for the medial calyx during a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). METHODS Volume rendered and maximum intensity projection reconstructions of normal pelvicalyceal systems were assessed in various rotational planes. An experienced urologist decided the ap...

Physalis Calyx seu Fructus is the dry calyx or with fruit of Solanaceae plant alkekengi L. var. franchetii (Mast.) Makino, a long history use in medicine and food. However, despite its many potential therapeutic culinary applications, P. not being exploited for these applications on large scale. This study analysed various research related to different chemical components alkekengi, including s...

Marine sponges harbouring uncultured symbiotic bacteria are important sources of biologically active compounds. Since they would be interesting resources to explore unknown functional genes by means of a metagenomic approach, we constructed a metagenomic library of the Japanese marine sponge Discodermia calyx. The functional screening afforded the two clones producing porphyrins as red pigments...
