The effects of wild germplasm on tomato fruit shelf life have not yet been completely evaluated. Three different genotypes of Lycopersicon esculentum (a cultivated variety, a homozygote for nor and a homozygote for rin), LA1385 of L. esculentum var. cerasiforme, LA722 of L. pimpinellifolium, and 10 diallel hybrids were assayed. Mean values of fruit shelf life, weight, shape, and mean number of ...

Gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) grown naturally in Anatolia. In this study, some physico-chemical (sugar, acid, protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ash etc.) characteristics and mineral composition of Gilaburu fruit have been investigated. The length, width, thickness, weight, total soluble solid, protein, crude ash, crude fiber and crude oil of fruit were found to be 1.12 cm, 1.58 cm, 1.87 cm, 0.87...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

to investigate the genotypic and phenotypic relationship between characteristics affecting tomato fruit weights, eleven tomato lines were compared in a rcb design with three replications. the anova showed that the difference among lines was significant for all characteristics. there was a significant phenotypic and genotypic correlations between fruit weight and most of the characteristics. the...

A study on evaluation of sapota genotypes collected from different parts of India was carried out at the Department of Fruit Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam during the year 2008-2009. Observation on quantitative traits viz., tree height (m), canopy spread (m), number of fruits/tree, mean fruit weight (g) and yield of fruits/tree (kg) were recorded. In addition, ...

A study was undertaken to analyses the heritability, correlation and path co-efficient for growth and fruit characters in twenty ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) genotypes grown at Fruit Research Farm under Horticulture Research Centre, BARI during January to June 2006. The highest range of variation was recorded in fruit weight (6.63-44.72 g), followed by yield per plant (14.88 64.99 kg), stone w...

this experiment was conducted to find the best harvesting time for two olive cultivars dezful and zard in fars province, iran. fruits were harvested in 10 days intervals from 11 september and their quantitative and qualitative characteristics were measured. results indicated that for canning olive, the best harvesting time for dezful cultivar was 23-31 october. at this time, fruits were in yell...

【Objective】 In order to quantify the yield formation of protected tomato, 【Method】 the field experiments on varieties and fertilizer were conducted in 2009 and 2010, and cultivars: (B1) American mole 1 (early maturing), (B2) Chaoshijifanqiedawang (late maturing), and (B3) American 903 (medium maturing) were adopted; The models of dry matter production and yield formation for protected tomato we...

application of edible coatings to enhance storage life of fresh fruit has recently been under considerable attention. this experiment was conducted in order to explore the effect of chitosan coating and storage temperature on the postharvest life of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) fruit. therefore, pomegranate fruits ‘rabbab-e-neyriz’ were dipped in 0, 1 and 2% aqueous chitosan solutions, air ...
