the work described here is unique since the low seeded (0-6 seeds per fruit) kinnow (citrus reticulata) germplasm was grown in dense plantation (p p: 1foot and l l: 2 feet) in the niab (nuclear institute for agriculture and biology, faisalabad, pakistan) field. growth and development patterns of the fruits were studied. the low seeded germ-plasm contains 3,500 plants developed through natural a...

in order to evaluation of squash (cucurbita pepo) seed yield per fruit and its relations with other characteristics of fruit include: length, diameter, length: diameter ratio (fruit shape), flesh thickness, thousand seed weight and fruit weight, an experiment was conducted using 24 accessions of squash as a randomized complete-block design with three replications. morphological traits were eval...

extended abstractbackground and objectives: loquats have formed different ecological types during their cultivation and adaptation in different parts of the world. the first step in the breeding operation is the identifying of the spread center accompanied the studying of the variation between genotypes. in this research, 20 loquat genotypes were evaluated using fruit morphological markers to i...

effects of different mulches and saran shading on yield and quality of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum cv. early urbana vf) were studied at ilam university, ilam, iran in 2009. the research work was carried out using a 4×4 split plot experimental arrangment through a completely randomized block design (crbd) of three replications, where shading levels of 0%: no shading; 40%: white; 55%: double-...

Seasonal change in time spent for terrestrial behavior of chimpanzees was investigated from the viewpoint of the distribution of food and microclimate in the forest at Bossou, Guinea, West Africa. Daily and monthly data for activity budgets of three focal animals, climatic variables in the forest, and indices of fruit availability and distribution of fruit-bearing trees were estimated and analy...

growth in plants is defined as irreversible increase in volume and size. these changes are varied depending on stage of growth and physiological activity of the fruit tree. this research was conducted to determine the duration period of fruit growth and development and to come up with a mathematical model representing the relationship between fruit diameter, volume, and fruit fresh and dry weig...

This field experiment was carried out at Horticultural Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (U.K.), India, during two consecutive years 2010 and 2011 on 7 years old peach trees cv. Sharbati. The experiment was designed in RBD to study the effect of foliar spraying of boron, zinc and iron and its combination on fruit growth pattern and yield attributing ...

increasing product marketability and introduction of new cultivars for fresh consumption of apple is the world's most important breeding objectives. in this study, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the genotypes from cross between red spur and golab-e-kohanz apple cultivars were evaluated. a total of 19 traits including fruit attributes (firmness, fruit weight,...) and th...
