The Diospyros genus contains approximately 400 to 500 species, among which D. kaki is cultivated as the edible persimmon. Knowledge about genetic diversity of genotypes high significance for breeding programs. In this research, 57 collected from different regions Iran was evaluated using inter simple sequence repeats (ISSR) and start codon targeted (SCoT) markers. Seven ISSR 10 SCoT markers produced a total 42 75 fragments with averages 6 7.5 per primer, respectively. average polymorphism...

Iranian persimmons are of the astringent type and harvested at overripe stage for natural disappearance taste then delivered to market as commercial fruits. In this study persimmon fruits 'Karaj' were mature their astringency was removed by different ethanol CO 2 treatments. According panel test results, treated better than non There no significant difference between in experiment. High correlation observed soluble tannin content measured with Folin Denis method. Consumers preferred moderate...

The present study was aimed at assessing the effect of storage temperature, hot water, and 1-MCP treatments on postharvest quality 'Karaj' persimmon. To do so, fruits were harvested commercial maturity stage, treated with water 25°C for 20 min (control), 45°C 25 min, 50°C 15 500 nL.L−1 24 hours, then stored two temperatures 1°C 30 days 13°C days. Finally, subjected to an astringency removal treatment (98% CO2 20°C h) before being transferred shelf-life conditions 5 20◦C. Fruits' assessed...

Thinning is essential and important for the quality of peach nectarine crops because its impact on fruit size next season's flower bud initiation, but hand-thinning a costly practice an unacceptable alternative. Researchers have been trying to introduce new thinners almost thirty years, replacing hand-thinning. In this study, quantitative qualitative effects some compounds used as thinning agents were examined 'Alberta' peaches 'Sun King' nectarines. This study has carried out in commercial...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various pre-treatments and drying methods on quality antioxidant properties persimmon slices. The fruits were harvested at maturity stage divided into three groups: control without any pre-treatments, pre-treatment with 2% sucrose after slicing, treatment CO2 before slicing in order remove astringency. Afterwards, all groups subjected including sun (21 days), conventional oven (65°C for 24 hours) vacuum 18 hours). Then, dried slices...

Button mushroom quickly loses its quality after harvest. Weight loss, enzymatic browning and microbial contamination are the main factors limiting shelf life of edible mushroom. In this study, effects prewashing with 1% H2O2, pre-washing distilled water, no washing, as well packaging by using nanosilica-polyethylene, conventional polyethylene cellophane films on maintenance postharvest button mushrooms were investigated. After being washed, packaged these films, stored at 4°C, then studied...

To extend the shelf life of ῾Karaj᾿ persimmon following cold storage, fruit were harvested at commercial maturity and treated with hot water 45°C for 30min, 50°C 20min or 500nL/L 1-MCP then stored 1°C 30 days. After CO2 to remove astringency, held 25°C 5 days (simulated life) evaluated quality. cv. was susceptible chilling injury [CI], however main symptoms CI, such as softening, loss colour, flesh gelling skin browning, did not appear during storage but developed when transferred...

In this study, the effects of four concentrations humic acid (0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5 kg ha−1, HA applied to soil) kinetin 25, 50, 75 mg L−1, KT, foliar sprayed) on vegetative growth, yield biochemical attributes radish cv. Watermelon, grown in two seasons spring autumn, were investigated. Results showed that, number leaves per plant, leaf area chlorophyll content increased with application KT both seasons, while high levels treatments had no significant effect plant season. The root diameter,...

Abstract The drain current ( I D ) of indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistors (IGZO-TFTs), fabricated by spin coating, decreases even when they are exposed to ozone gas at a concentration equal or lower than 5 ppm. reduction rate increases the film thickness and firing temperature in spin-coating process IGZO layer decreases. In these samples, peak intensity ratio O 1s X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) due OH group infrared (IR) absorption band 3000 cm −1 –3500 stretching...
