The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of different dietary fruit pomaces in reducing lipid oxidation in the meat of turkeys fed diets with a high content of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Over a period of 4 weeks before slaughter, turkeys were fed diets with the addition of 5% dried apple, blackcurrant, strawberry and seedless strawberry pomaces (groups AP, BP, SP and SS...

‘Aliza’ is a new pomelo × mandarin hybrid (Citrus maxima, cv. Red Chandler Citrus reticulata, Ora) developed by the Israeli citrus breeding program at Volcani Institute. Here, we aimed to characterize quality and flavor of fruit as compared other commercial fruit, specifically (C. maxima), grapefruit paradisi), orange sinensis) reticulata). fruits have similar size grapefruits, but thinner peel...

The physical and chemical characteristics of five pomegranate cultivars (Mridula, Ganesh, White muscut, G-137 Jalor seedless) were examined in the present investigation. Physical properties different determined such as major diameter (85.05 to 91.62 mm), intermediate (76.85 87.83 minor (79.86 90.01 sphericity (0.903 0.937), fruit weight (294.4 404.14 g), volume (289 387 mL), number arils per fr...

This year six crosses for Pierce’s disease (PD) resistant table and raisin grapes using seedless parents were made, resulting in 2,398 ovules and 747 embryos. These crosses were based on Muscadinia and V. tiliifolia sources of resistance. Nineteen seeded crosses consisting of 3,950 emasculations and 49 bagged clusters were made. These crosses were based on V. arizonica, Muscadinia, and southeas...

In plant cells, antioxidants keep reactive oxygen species at low concentrations, avoiding oxidative damage while allowing them to play crucial functions in signal transduction. However, little is known about the role of antioxidants during fruit maturation, especially in legumes. Snap pea (Pisum sativum) plants, which have edible fruits, were grown under nodulating and non-nodulating conditions...

Objective: The experiment was conducted on ten litchi cultivars, namely; Purbi, Bedana, Lal Bombay, Mandaraji, Calcuttia, Late Trikolia, Dehradoon, Dehrarose, and Seedless No. 2 to assess the physical chemical composition of fruit as affected by orientation tree.
 Methods: Fruits were picked both from lower upper half portion tree at fully ripened stage physio-chemical attributes analyzed....

Functional male sterility in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) positional sterile ps and ps-2 lines provides a good facultative sterility system for F1 hybrid seed production. In order to elucidate the observed variability in the trait stability, expressivity was observed in a comparative multi-year study (2008 – 2012) across seven ps and two ps-2 tomato lines. Tomato lines undergoing the study ...
