Due to its high polyphenolic compound content, Chinese hawthorn, which belongs to the Rosaceae family, is a popular fruit consumed as food and medicine source in China. However, little genetic studies have been performed on hawthorn, partially because of the lack of genomic resources. To this end, we performed de novo transcriptomics analysis of hawthorn using the cost-effective Illumina paired...

to study the effects of planting date and planting density on quantitative traits of medicinal plant, schneider squash (cucurbita pepo l.), an experiment was conducted at research field of ferdowsi university of mashhad, in year 2012. a split plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications was used. treatments consisted of three planting date levels (1 may, 11...

In times of worsening civilization diseases the interest in natural healing substances is on the increase. To reduce unwanted side effects of many synthetic drugs, it is reasonable to introduce to the daily diet foods rich in natural compounds of plant origin that are beneficial for health. The purpose of the study was to determine the biological activity and stability of selected ethanol extra...

in order to study the response of five watermelon accessions (tn.93.765, tn.93.469, tn.93.485, tn.93.425 and tn.93.330) to drought stress an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in randomized completely block design with three replications. this research were investigated in hydroponic system with four levels of osmotic potential induced by poly ethylene glycol 6000 (peg) including ...

Capsicum baccatum is one of the most important chili peppers in South America, since this region is considered to be the center of origin and diversity of this species. In Brazil, C. baccatum has been widely explored by family farmers and there are different local names for each fruit phenotype, such as cambuci and dedo-de-moça (lady's finger). Although very popular among farmers and consumers,...

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) and napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) are the most economically important species in the genus Pennisetum. Knowledge of genetic diversity of these two species would enhance their potentials for utilization. The present work assessed the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship among Nigerian and Indian accessions of pearl millet an...
