Genetic variability, heritability in broad sense and expected genetic advance as percent of mean for fruit yield and nine characters were studied in 25 pointed gourd genotypes. Fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant showed maximum variability. Genotypic coefficient of variation was found high for fruit yield and number of fruits per plant. All the characters under study were highly heritabl...

TODOROVA, V., 2007. Fruit characterization and influence of variation factors in pepper kapiya type varieties and breeding lines (Capsicum annuum L.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 13: 309-315 Six varieties and ten breeding lines from Kapiya type were evaluated by some morphological fruit characters at the Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute – Plovdiv during the period 2002 – 2004. The sources o...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of flooding on two tomato cultivars and two wild related species. Forty days old tomato plants were subjected to a continuous flooding stress of different durations: 0, 2, 4 and 8 days. Plant pots were placed inside larger plastic pots; they were irrigated with excessive quantity of tap water at 25C so that the level of water above...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is one of the most consumed vegetables in the world. The eggplant glycoalkaloids (GAs) are toxic secondary metabolites that may have detrimental effects on human health, particularly if the magnitudes of GAs are higher than the recommended food safety level (200 mg per kg of fresh mass). In this study, the content of solasonine compound and the expression pattern...

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...

in this research, during three consecutive years (2010-2012), a series of diallel crossing was performed among wild type barberry genotypes and iranian seedless barberry. setting of seed and fruit in the crossing have been studied and then seedling survival were evaluated in several cultural systems. results showed significant effects of pollen sources on setting of fruits, seed and seeded frui...
