embryogenic callus initiation from anther and whole flower explants in four grapevine cultivars including flame seedless, shahroodi, perlette and red sultanina cultured on piv and harst nutrient media was studied. results showed that whole flower explants of ‘flame seedless’ cultured on piv medium had the most potential for callus production. later callus were transferred onto ges1ca medium for...

apricot (prunus armeniaca), palys an important role in fruit production industry in iran. irregular set of fruit, caused by either sterility of flower organs or incompatibility has been the main problem in apricot production over the years. in this study, it has been attempted to determine these phenomena for four apricot cvs. namely ‘shahroodi’, ‘nasiri’, ‘jahangiri’ and ‘noori’ through the me...

dormancy in deciduous fruit trees constitutes an important factor to be considered when selecting for the appropriate species/cultivar to be cultivated in a given geographical region. the factors influencing dormancy, however, remain poorly understood. occurring in cold season, dormancy helps the plant with enduring adverse environmental conditions, especially chilling and freezing tensions. a ...

chilling is an important environmental stress that influences the yield and quality of many agricultural crops. different plants use different systems to endure this stress and minimize its effects. one of these systems is enzymatic reaction. to find out more about responses of different grapevine species and cultivars to the low temperature conditions, their enzymatic changes were evaluated in...

abstract to produce embryogenic callus and somatic embryo, whole flower explants were collected at two sampling stages of i, iii. to produce embryogenic callus and somatic embryo, ms medium supplemented with 5 and 10µm 2,4-d and 2µm bap were used. for embryo differentiation, ms medium with 0.5mg/l iba, ms medium without any plant growth regulators, ms medium with 2mg/l iba and 0.2mg/l bap, ms m...

The present study compared the effects of consuming red versus white whole grapes on oxidative and lipidemic indices in people with hypercholesterolemia. Sixty nine patients were randomized into three groups. The two treatment groups consumed 500 g of either Condori red grapes or Shahroodi white grapes daily for 8 weeks, and the third group served as a control. Plasma glucose, triacylglycerol (...

table grapes (vitis vinifera l. cv. shahroodi) were stored for 45 days under modified atmospher packaging (map) with four gas combination treatments including gc1 (control or air), gc2 (10%co2+5%o2), gc3 (10%co2+15%o2) and gc4 (10%co2 + 60%o2) using two types of polymeric films pp (polypropylene) and pe (polyethylene) at 1oc and 80-90% rh. measurements were carried out after each 15 days at 1oc...

to produce embryonic callus in four grapevine cultivars i.e. yaghouti, bidane sefid, shahroodi and flame seedless, ovary explants were collected at flower developmental stages iii and v and cultured in ms medium supplemented with various concentrations of 2,4-d and bap. for differentiation of somatic embryos, ms medium was supplemented with various concentrations of iaa and bap. results showed ...
