This study investigated the composition of volatile compounds in two pummelo cultivars, including 'Shatian' and 'Guanxi', cultivated in different regions of China with the aim of studying the effect of cultivar and cultivation condition on biosynthesis of volatile compounds in pummelo. Volatile compounds were extracted from pummelo juice using head-space microextraction and then analyzed using ...

The fatty acid composition was evaluated in field grown sesame cultivars (Sesamum indicum L.) at New Developmental Farm Agriculture University, Peshawar, KPK Pakistan during summer 2012. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with split plot arrangement having four replications each. Two sesame cultivars viz., local black and local white were sown at different dates i.e. 20 June, 10 and 30 July, a...

to evaluate morphological markers linked with drought stress resistance for screening almond genotypes in the breeding programs the effect of drought stress was studied on six nominated almond genotypes seedlings. the six pre-selected water stress mimposed almond genotypes included: homozygote sweet (butte from university of california), heterozygote sweet (shahrood12, shahrood18, shahrood21 an...

Two cultivars Buram-3-ho (susceptible) and CR-Hagwang (moderate resistant) of kimchi cabbage seedlings showed differential defense responses to anthracnose (Colletotrichum higginsianum), black spot (Alternaria brassicicola) and black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, Xcc) diseases in our previous study. Defense-related hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene led ...

using plant probiotic bacteria, which can induce systemic tolerance in plants, is one of the most important strategy to reduce the damage of drought stress in plants. in this study the effect of four fluorescent strains (t17-4, vupf5, 428, cha0) was investigated on resistance of two pistachio cultivars (badami-rize-zarand and sarakhs) against the drought stress. a completely randomized design w...

the experiment was conducted to study the effect of photoperiod and hormones on production of microtubers for two potato cultivars (sante and savalan), which were clean and pathogens free. this experiment was performed as a factorial experiment based on randomized design with three replications. the results showed that cultivar, hormone and photoperiod would effect on all studied traits. sante ...

Although Apis mellifera is the dominant managed pollinator used to enhance crop production, variation of its foraging behaviour among crop-cultivars not considered as a factor influencing pollination success and, thus, yield. Almond production highly dependent on cross-pollination. Herein, we examined honey bees and pollen limitation in ‘Nonpareil’ ‘Independence’ cultivars. Nectar pollen-forage...
