The work was undertaken to study the variability in Citrus macroptera from five Garo hills district. Many important horticultural plant species, viz. are known have originated this region. Mont. is one of endangered, semi-wild species which found exist various parts NE region, including Meghalaya. Thirty accession different districts Hills, Meghalaya were collected its quantity and quality para...

Over the past decade, pomegranate (Punica granatum) is entitled as a wonder fruit because of its voluminous pharmacological properties. In 1830, P. granatum fruit was first recognized in United States Pharmacopeia; the Philadelphia edition introduced the rind of the fruit, the New York edition the bark of the root and further 1890 edition the stem bark was introduced. There are significant effo...

Pomegranate is gaining popularity because of its proved nutraceutical properties and highly adaptable to different climates. In southern Jalisco, Mexico, 18 genotypes were characterized on the basis fruit characteristics (21 traits) AFLP (Amplified Fragment length polymorphism) markers. The first three components a principal analysis (PCA) explained 71.5% variation. most important variables rel...

in order to evaluate the effect of water stress on fruit quality and quantity of some iranian melons, the experiment was set out in a split plot design with three replicates in research filed of university of zanjan in 2014. treatments consisted arrangement of three irrigation levels (starting irrigation at 100, 66 and 33 etc) and 11 genotypes of iranian melons (ʼkhatouniʻ, ʼkaliʻ, ʼorshangʻ, ʼ...

Studies of physiological diversity and its effect on the expression of traits in plants are used in breeding programs as a selective tool with the aim of selecting special attributes for creating a new product. In this study, the correlation coefficients among 17 horticultural traits of 34 genotypes from 11 different places of Semnan province were examined. A significant positive correlation wa...

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...

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...

to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate growth regulators on growth characteristics, fruit number and fruit yield of ‘semsuri’ melon, an experiment at the field of shahid bahonar university was conducted in summer 2012. melon (cv. ‘semsuri’) is widely cultivated in iran and therefore increasing the fruit yield and quality of this cultivar is necessary. some growth regulators including me...

Outbreaks of foodborne illness attributed to the consumption of Salmonella-tainted cantaloupe have occurred repeatedly, but understanding of the ecology of Salmonella on cantaloupe fruit surfaces is limited. We investigated the interactions between Salmonella enterica Poona, the plant pathogenic bacterium Erwinia tracheiphila, and cantaloupe fruit. Fruit surfaces were inoculated at the natural ...
