We studied the evolution of developmental plasticity in populations of Drosophila melanogaster that evolved at either constant or fluctuating temperatures. Consistent with theory, genotypes that evolved at a constant 16°C or 25°C performed best when raised and tested at that temperature. Genotypes that evolved at fluctuating temperatures performed well at either temperature, but only when raise...

Shades ranging from violet to black pigmentation in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) are attributed to anthocyanin accumulation. High-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of violet and black fruit tissue identified a single anthocyanin that was determined to be delphinidin-3-p-coumaroyl-rutinoside-5-glucoside. Leaf tissue of a black-pigmented foliage genotype contained th...

in order to study the effects of foliar application of naa and plant thinning on growth, yield and fruit quality of melon genotype khatooni, the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of faculty of agriculture, university of zanjan. treatments consisted of foliar application of naa at three levels (25, 50 and 100 mg.l-1 at 4-6 tr...

In this study, to reproduce natural chestnut genotypes, the fruit characteristics of Düzce region determined by local people are good in a healthy way, compatible with Marigoule (C. sativa × C. crenata) hybrid varieties resistant branch cancer and root rot was investigated. 24 different genotypes were used. As grafting method, most commonly used tongue grafting, split chip budding side method A...

Gilaburu is an important fruit species in terms of healthy effects, having potential for use as alternative medicine and suitable industrial product processing. In this context, physico-chemical characteristics three different gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) genotypes grown under the ecological conditions Kayseri, Turkey were determined. addition, correlations among investigated calculated their ...

most of walnut production in iran comes from seed originated trees with low quality and quantity as product. for breeding new cultivar(s), from 1983 selection of iranian walnut germplasm was started at seed and plant improvement institute and at the first phase 117 genotypes were collected. seedlings of these genotypes were planted in kamalshahr (karaj), torogh, kahriz and bastam horticultural ...
