in order to study of genetic diversity and similarity among four native olive cultivars including ‘mari’, ‘zard’, ‘shengeh’ and ‘rowghani’, these cultivars were evaluated in five regions including ali abad, gilvan, tarom, manjil and jamal abad at 2012-2013. there was a significant difference among studied individuals. the correlation coefficient analysis among studied traits showed that there w...

this study was performed for assessment of correlation of 11 morphological traits with rapd molecular markers in 15 cultivars of date palm collected from the south and south west of iran as population analysis by stepwise regression method. the results of simple and multiple regressions showed that in sum 84 rapd markers had significant association with at least one of the traits. the coefficie...

in this study, the effect of foliar spray with calcium chloride (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g l-1) during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before commercial harvesting time of apple fruit cv. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’ which trained in three different systems (v shape, hightech and cordon) was investigated. the results showed that types of training systems and foliar application of calcium can affect on fruits quality...

training systems and calcium foliar application can improve apple fruits pigmentation by changing mineral compositions. in this study, effect of foliar application of calcium chloride with different concentrations (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g l-1) over 2, 4 and 6 weeks before harvest time on fruit mineral nutrient composition and colour values of apple cvs. gala and delbarestival which trained in thre...

This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

the work described here is unique since the low seeded (0-6 seeds per fruit) kinnow (citrus reticulata) germplasm was grown in dense plantation (p p: 1foot and l l: 2 feet) in the niab (nuclear institute for agriculture and biology, faisalabad, pakistan) field. growth and development patterns of the fruits were studied. the low seeded germ-plasm contains 3,500 plants developed through natural a...

Cultivated pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a phenotypically diverse species grown throughout the world. Wild and landrace peppers are typically small-fruited and pungent, but contain many important traits such as insect and disease resistance. Cultivated peppers vary dramatically in size, shape, pungency, and color, and often lack resistance traits. Fruit characteristics (e.g. shape and pericarp th...
