High-density genetic linkage map plays an important role in genome assembly and quantitative trait loci (QTL) fine mapping. Since the coming of next-generation sequencing, makes the structure of high-density linkage maps much more convenient and practical, which simplifies SNP discovery and high-throughput genotyping. In this research, a high-density linkage map of cucumber was structured using...

Path coefficient analysis has been widely used to understand production better and determine the relationships between fruit their constituents. This study evaluated correlations mass other physical characteristics, contributes selecting cape gooseberry fruit. The attributes assessed were total of (TM) (fruit with husk), (FM) without husk (HM), length (HL), largest transverse diameter (LD), (FD...

This study was conducted during 2008-2009 to investigate the influence of different organic nutrient combinations on yields and quality of strawberry cv. Kurdistan in Iran. The experiment comprised of five organic nutrient treatment combinations including the recommended dose of N, P and K through chemical fertilizer as control. Treatment N2 (manure+Azotobacter+ woodash+phosphorus solubilizing ...

climate changes due to global warming is affecting world agriculture adversely. heat stress due to global warming has turned to one of the most important factors reducing quantity and quality of plants production such as tomato. despite of wide cultivation of tomato and high temperature effects on its production, unfortunately; research in this area is scarce. this study was conducted to invest...

Fruit firmness and crispness are important traits of cucumber because they directly affect its commercial value. We performed quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis these fruit texture with the double-digest restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-Seq) technique detected 31 QTLs for firmness: 11 placenta firmness, 12 skin 8 flesh firmness; 25 crispness-related scores: 10 index, appar...

estimating fetal weight in utero, for better management of pregnancy and appropriate timing of delivery especially in high-risk pregnancies is necessary. our purpose to evaluate a simple method in estimating fetal weight in iranian pregnant patients and also to compare was with a previous western study. this study was carried out in arash hospital, tehran university of medical sciences in 1996-...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of irrigation frequency and substrates on some parameters of greenhouse tomato (cv. hamra) during 1381-1382 at research greenhouse of agriculture college, in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the experiment was based on split plots in the form of completely randomized design and in four replications. irrigation frequency in three levels of 12, 8...

Winter and summer pruning are widely applied processes in all fruit trees, including in peach orchard management. This study was conducted to determine the effects of summer prunings (SP), as compared to winter pruning (WP), on shoot length, shoot diameter, trunk cross sectional area (TCSA) increment, fruit yield, fruit quality, and carbohydrate content of two early ripening peach cultivars ("E...
