pomegranate (punica granatum. l) is one of the popular edible fruits believed to be native iran. it is presently widely grown in many other tropical and subtropical countries. in this study, anthocyanin profiles for four cultivars of iranian pomegranate (punica granatum. l) juice were determined and quantified through high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to uv-vis detector (hplc-uv) u...

Almost all of the more than 200 species of fungus-growing ants (Formicidae: Attini) cultivate litter-decomposing fungi in the family Lepiotaceae (Basidiomycota: Agaricales). The single exception to this rule is a subgroup of ant species within the lower attine genus Apterostigma, which cultivate pterulaceous fungi distantly related to the Lepiotaceae. Comparison of cultivar and ant phylogenies ...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the vegetative and productive performance plantain (Musa spp.) genotypes Terra subgroup under environmental conditions Ribeira Valley in state São Paulo, Brazil. experimental design randomized complete blocks, with 12 four replicates. Two types were evaluated: six French type, using Maranhão cultivar as a reference; Horn D’Angola reference. t...

Understanding the basis for intraspecific yield variability may be important in elucidating biological mechanisms that are associated with superior yield performance in response to projected increases in carbon dioxide concentration, [CO₂]. Using a free-air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) facility, two rice lines, S63 and W14, which differed consistently in their enhancement of seed yield when grown at e...

the new line (kauz/pastor//bav92/rayon cmss00m02400s-030m-030wgy-030m-9m-0y) (gaboos cultivar) was evaluated at gachsaran and gonbad agricultural research stations in the first time in 2006-2007. due to optimum earliness, plant height, kernel weight and successful performance of grain yield in observation nursery, preliminary and advanced yield trials (2007-2009), this genotype along to 16 prom...

An increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(Prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. Information on this subject is limited at the present time. In search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (GDD), ful...

Tree peonies native to China have become an internationalized ornamental plant and are widely cultivated in many countries in Asia, America, Europe and Australia. Breeding starting from domestication of wild plants through selection of bud mutations and seedlings to hybridization has been done for about 1500 years. At present a few thousand cultivars are cultivated globally in gardens or propag...
