damage caused by freezing can be the result of differences in cellular processes, including changes in membrane properties, interactions between macromolecular and enzymatic reactions. in this experiment, total soluble solids (tss) and relative water content of the reproductive buds of cultivars “j. h. hale”, “elberta,” “redhaven, ” “sorkh sefid mashhad” and “amsden” peaches, along with nectari...

the sorkh shale formation (lower triassic) crops out in parts of tabas block. this formation is composed of limestone, dolomite, sandstone, shale and gypsum. its lower contact with the permian rocks and its upper contact with the shotori formation is marked by distinct erosional unconformity. to determine the depositional environments of the sorkh shale formation, stratigraphic sections of goda...

Genotypic variation in composition and antioxidant activity was evaluated using 25 cultivars, 5 each of white-flesh nectarines, yellow-flesh nectarines, white-flesh peaches, yellow-flesh peaches, and plums, at the ripe (ready-to-eat) stage. The ranges of total ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (in mg/100 g of fresh weight) were 5-14 (white-flesh nectarines), 6-8 (yellow-flesh nectarines), 6-9 (white-fl...

Temperature, humidity and precipitation in an area, are parameters proved influential in the climate of that area, and one should recognize them so that he can determine the climate of that area. Climate changes are of primary importance in climatology, and in recent years, have been of great concern to researchers and even politicians and organizations, for they can play an important role in s...

Clingstone peaches contain a wide array of complex secondary plant metabolites and polyphenolics, and increasing evidence indicates that many of these components are important in human health. Oligomeric flavan-3-ol metabolites (procyanidins) are particularly interesting owing to their potent antioxidant activity and protective cardiovascular effects. To date, little information is available on...

thrips tabaci is one of the most important pests causing serioues damages on onion s in iran despite several chemical sprayings. to assess the population density and damage of the thips on onion, improved sefid-e-khomein genotype along with seven other iranian cultivars of onoin were planted in a rcb design with four replications in two separate experiments (sprayed and non-spray ed ) in arak f...
