Identification and selection of promising genotypes of fruit tree are primary steps in breeding programs. The economic importance of almond production in the world has stimulated numerous studies related to breeding, quantitative and qualitative traits, the increase of yield and decrease production costs. In this study, morphological and pomological characteristics of 60 cultivar and superior g...

As a result of the hybridization ?Sevgi? and ?Ka?ka? cultivars with ?Fortuna? cultivar, which are bred within Cukurova University, superior characteristic strawberry genotypes codes ?33?, ?36? ?61? were selected. In this study, these three commonly grown in Mediterranean region compared terms yield, fruit size taste determining parameters (sugar organic acids) at different harvest date monthly ...

Arbutus unedo L. is a Mediterranean species used for fruit production; it tolerant to drought and shows regeneration ability following forest fires. Mycorrhizal plants with Tuber borchii add resilience value. This study aims test the effect of quercetin on mycorrhizal synthesis between T. A. unedo. Two genotypes selected production hydric stress tolerance, were micropropagated synthesis, accomp...

Fruit quality is strongly affected by genotype and harvest date. In this study, parameters regarding fruit quality, bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacity of different strawberry cultivars at three harvesting dates were quantified to elucidate the influence date on quality. The results showed that was major contributor appearance color, TSS, TA, TSS/TA ratio strawberries, while mainly firmne...

Evolutionary frozen, genetically sterile and globally iconic fruit "Banana" remained untouched by the green revolution and, as of today, researchers face intrinsic impediments for its varietal improvement. Recently, this wonder crop entered the genomics era with decoding of structural genome of double haploid Pahang (AA genome constitution) genotype of Musa acuminata. Its complex genome decoded...

In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the genetic variability of yield contributing characters, and the genetic diversity in forty-four genotypes of okra collected from the IIHR, Bangalore, India. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for different morphological characters. High GCV and PCV were observed for plant height, inter-n...

According to rational choice theory, beneficial preferences should lead individuals to sort available options into linear, transitive hierarchies, although the extent to which non-human animals behave rationally is unclear. Here we demonstrate that mate choice in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster results in the linear sorting of a set of diverse isogenic female lines, unambiguously demonstr...

In Northeast part in Turkey, wild grown fruits are abundant and they are widely collected and consumed by rural peoples. In this study, the fruits of seven sea buckthorn genotypes from Northeast in Turkey were sampled and analyzed for their total phenolic content, vitamin C, total anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity. Total phenolic, vitamin C and total anthocyanin content varied from 213 to 2...

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) in stone fruit (Prunus species) breeding is currently difficult to achieve due to the polygenic nature of the most relevant agronomic traits linked to fruit quality. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS), however, provides a large quantity of useful data suitable for fine mapping using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) from a reference genome. In this study, GBS wa...

The pomegranate is one of the oldest fruits that are traditionally consumed by the local inhabitants of the Coruh Valley, Turkey. In this study, the molecular and morphological characteristics of 19 promising pomegranate genotypes selected from the Coruh Valley were evaluated. For the morphological evaluation, 22 quantitative fruit characteristics were used. For the molecular evaluation, 47 ran...
