The field of metabolomics is gaining ground in plant biology, and its potential uses agricultural biotechnology are expanding. Metabolomics the study metabolites, which extremely small molecules. phenotype correlates more strongly with metabolomic profile than genomic, transcriptomic, or proteomic profiles. Plant metabolic profiling another application that has been used to identify previously ...

The article presents the results of implementation mathematical planning experiment to determine optimal parameters calibration process cherry, sweet cherry plum, apricot and almond seeds. essence this is separation seeds (bones) fruit crops into fractions homogenous in size order highlight middle fraction, which about 80% total number bones. bones fraction are highest quality most suitable for...

Nature has blessed Pakistan with an ideal climate for growing a wide range of delicious fruits. Thus a very wide range of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate fruits are grown in the country. Over the years, Pakistani experts have developed unique strains of exotic fruit varieties. Pakistan is producing a large variety of fruits on an area of 734.6 thousand hectares with a total production of 5...

The Asiatic fruit fly Drosophila suzukii has recently invaded Europe and North and South America, causing severe damage to fruit production systems. Although agronomic host plants of that fly are now well documented, little is known about the suitability of wild and ornamental hosts in its exotic area. In order to study the potential trophic niche of D. suzukii with relation to fruit characteri...

170 Mango is one of the most important and widely cultivated tropical fruits of the world. In India, it is grown in an area of 23.78 lakh hectares with an annual production of 161.98 lakh tones (Indian Horticulture Database-2012). This contributes to 37.8 per cent of total area and 18.6 per cent of total production of fruit crops in India. The plant start bearing 4 to 5 years after planting and...

Measuring fruit morphology and color traits of vegetable and fruit crops in an objective and reproducible way is important for detailed phenotypic analyses of these traits. Tomato Analyzer (TA) is a software program that measures 37 attributes related to two-dimensional shape in a semi-automatic and reproducible manner. Many of these attributes, such as angles at the distal and proximal ends of...

Growers of small fruit crops often supplement the natural pollinator community by introducing pollinators into commercial orchards and fields, but there are relatively few studies that test the extent to which such interventions increase fruit yield. To test whether plants are limited by pollen availability, inflorescences in 78 commercial lowbush blueberry fields during three years were handpo...

The document reviews the environmental fate and environmental effect of carbaryl (1-naphthyl-N-methyl carbamate). Carbaryl is one of the most frequently used carbamate insecticides and widely used for the control of a variety of pests on fruit, vegetables, forage, cotton and many other crops, as well as on poultry, livestock and pets (Mathew et al., 1995). It is available as wettable powders, p...
