soilless culture systems of strawberry production are increasing. yield and fruit quality are not only affected by growing media but also by chilling and horticultural managements. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different growing media and chilling on vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of three strawberry cultivars. the experiment was conducted in factorial experime...

To study the effects of chilling on dormancy breaking and the increased germination characteristics of Nepeta (germination percent and speed, seedling length, vigor index, wet and dry weight), a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 4 replications was implemented in a laboratory in 2014. Factor A was the chilling treatment in three levels (control, one-month and two-month ...

the effects of different concentrations of salicylic acid as compared with control and as well with distilled water treatment were assessed on induction of resistance to chilling injury and quality of sweet lemon during its storage. for the purpose, sweet lemon fruits were treated by immersion method for 5 minutes in salicylic acid (200,400 and 600 mg/lit) and then packed in polyethylene bags t...

Determining of chilling and heat requirements of olive cultivars growing in Fars Province is important for the selection of cultivars that will exhibit satisfactory growth and development. The purposes of this study were determining the chilling and heat requirements of olive and comparison of Utah and Positive Utah Chill unit (PCU) models for determining the chilling requireme...

The change in the developmental pathway of microspores from gametophytic to sporophytic is induced by stress during pretreatment of spikes and anthers. In our experiments, anther culture of three barley cultivars was tested with regard to the effect of chilling at 4 degrees C for 28 days, starvation in 0.3 M mannitol solution for 4 days, and a combination of both methods. Chilling was shown to ...

no sufficient of chilling is a major problem in producing temperate fruit in warm climates. so determination of chilling requirement of different cultivars of grape is important. the aim of this research was determination of chilling requirement of four grape vine commercial cultivars including: kolahdary, red rasin, yaghoti and white rasin that factorial experiment based on a completely random...

The responses of two cultivars of soybean (Merr.) to a chilling treatment (4 C for first hour of imbibition) were compared. The germination of cv. Biloxi was unaffected by the treatment, while the germination of cv. Fiskeby was reduced. The phospholipid fatty acids of dry axes of the two cultivars were very similar, and, thus, could not be correlated with their responses to chilling. The fatty ...

in this research, chilling and heating requirements of six local cultivars of apricot (jafari, ghavami, jahangiri, khiari, khiveaee and rajabali) were evaluated under field and lab conditions. under lab condition, ‘rajabali’ and in some extent ‘johangiri’ began flowering after 500 hours in 4°c. other cultivars except ‘khiari’ flowered at 750 h. ‘khiari’ flowered at 1000 h. in field, due to litt...
