increasing product marketability and introduction of new cultivars for fresh consumption of apple is the world's most important breeding objectives. in this study, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the genotypes from cross between red spur and golab-e-kohanz apple cultivars were evaluated. a total of 19 traits including fruit attributes (firmness, fruit weight,...) and th...

cross pollination in some of apples cultivar exists; also iran is near the origin of apple trees so, large genetic diversity can be seen between iranian cultivar. also very famous apple cultivar is known in iran for special flavor and taste. the name of this cultivar is golab. this research was studied in the years 2010 and 2011 in khorasan razavi province on golab apple ecotypes to evaluate ch...

Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

research was carried out in 2007 on 7 native summer-ripening apple cultivars grown in kamal abad karaj research station. the 16 year-old plants were grafted onto seed rootstocks. the cultivars were ghandak-e-kashan, golab-e-isfahan, golab-e-kohanz, mashad, assali, ghermez-e-rezaieh and a new cultivar--koli-e-mahallat (syn. escr). the aim of the study was to identify changes in qualitative and q...

Fruit quality of five scab resistant apple cultivars (Enterprise, Liberty, Nova Easygro, Sir Prize and Rewena) suitable for organic growing systems were tested. External and internal fruit quality was assessed through standard parameters (fruit weight, firmness, soluble solids, malic acid) and sensorial quality by panel tests (fruit size, shape and colour; hardness, texture, juiciness, sweet/ac...

relative resistance of 43 iranian as well as introduced apple cultivars to blue mold (penicillium expansum) was studied within years 2010-2011. the fruit physicochemical traits were also evaluated as measures of potential resistance to decay. local p. expansum strains were isolated from decayed apple fruits and the most aggressive isolate (5,000 spores ml-1) used as inoculum. fruits were wound-...

this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the red flesh apples and golab cultivars. two iranian red flesh apples from shahroud and four golab cultivars as well as ‘gala’ as control from damavand were selected in summer 2012. fruit physical characteristics including length, diameter, fresh weight and dry weight, firmness, color and their parameters were evaluated for each cultivar. the...
