the potato tuberworm, phthorimaea operculella (zeller), is a major pest of potato in both store and field. in this research, host preference, biology and life table parameters of this pest were studied on leaves of 12 potato germplasm including seven commercial cultivars (agria, ausonia, sprit, satina, savalan, kondor, morene) and five iranian clones (pi396156-5, pi397045-15, pi397097-2, pi3970...

Apple is a major fruit crop grown worldwide and provides humans with an essential diet health benefits. One of the benefits related to accumulation anthocyanin, which also attractive red colour. It known that MdMYB10 allele containing transposable element (TE) insertion in its promoter (termed Red-TE allele) underlies anthocyanin colouration skin cultivated apples. However, distribution this wi...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the ameliorating effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on physiological and biochemical changes of induced NaCl-salinity stress on in vitro shoot and callus cultured of red-fleshed apple. Shoot and callus segments of the red-flesh apple of Local Iranian genotype were cultured on MS medium containing different levels of NaCl (0, 30, 60 and 90 mM) and A...

Apple accessions, currently maintained within the two main ex situ collections in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), have previously been genotyped using microsatellite markers. The obtained molecular data provided insight into mislabeled accessions redundancies, as well overall genetic structure of germplasm. available dataset enabled creation a core collection consisting 52 accessions. reliabi...
