The present research designed to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and potassium sulfate on improving fruit quality and photosynthesis system. Ten treatments include: SA (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 mM), MeJA (0.5, 1 and 2 mM), potassium sulfate (0.5, 1 and 1.5%) and distilled water (control) were sprayed on pomegranate trees 2 and 7 weeks after ful...

Ripening of ;Tydeman's Early' apples (Malus sylvestris L.) assessed by the occurrence of the respiratory climacteric was delayed by succinic acid 2,2-dimethyl hydrazide (B-9) but not by 2-chloroethyltrimethylammonium chloride (CCC), each applied 14 days after bloom. B-9 also inhibited ethylene production by fruits exhibiting the climacteric rise. Inhibition of the climacteric by B-9 was overcom...

leaf analysis is a general method of estimating the fertilizer needs in fruit trees, but there exists a limited correlation between it and fruit quality. throughout the present study, fruits were harvested 10 weeks following full bloom and at the commercial maturity (6.2 brix) stages from thirteen different commercial kiwifruit orchards that had been fertilized with different fertilizers, the e...

Background: Radiotherapy is one of the most important factors which results in negative effects on wound healing and increases anastomosis leakage. Diverting loop ileostomy has been usually performed after colorectal anastomosis in cases of colorectal cancer with a history of neoadjuvant radiotherapy to decrease the chance of leakage. Considering the side effects of diverting loop ileostomy, th...
