Ocimum species are used in traditional Iranian medicine, as a culinary herb, and well-known source of flavoring principles. Horticultural characteristics, including quantitative qualitative traits along with the chemical variation phenolic acids, 23 accessions basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) from Iran were studied. Morphological studies showed high level variability recorded traits. Quantification acids was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography drastic variations between...
Diversity among Iranian melon landraces of Groups Flexuosus and Dudaim was studied by analyzing morphological physiological traits random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Thirty-one showed significant variation accessions. Some accessions had typical characters elongated fruit shape, light skin color, ribs on non-sweet flesh. Characters distinct from in accessions, such as short fruits, dark green five carpels, sweet flesh, were especially ribless Cluster analysis divided into seven groups....
Melon is one of the most important horticultural crops in Iran. There are a few studies on genetic structure Iranian melon. A set 18 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs were used to assess diversity collection 24 melon accessions representing different botanical groups cultivated melons (vars. inodorus, cantalupensis and dudaim), along with 28 reference from diverse geographic origin. All studied SSR loci polymorphic that confirmed their usefulness for analysis melons. total number 141...
Vegetative and reproductive characteristics, fruit yield, biochemical compounds of six bitter melon cultivars (Iranshahr, Mestisa, No. 486, Local Japanese, Isfahan, Ilocano) were evaluated under Karaj conditions in Iran. The phytochemical properties the using both shade-dried freeze-dried samples at three developmental stages (unripe, semi-ripe, ripe). There significant differences vegetative characteristics among cultivars, where cv. 486 was superior to most attributes. yield varied from...
This study was carried out to assess the genetic diversity and heritability of various agronomic traits using twenty fenugreek landraces from Iran. The trial conducted at Maragheh experiment station in North-west Iran under rainfed (RF) irrigated (IR) conditions during 2008 cropping season. Results combined analysis variance showed significant differences among for all except harvest index number pods per plant, seeds plant dry biomass conditions. highest phenotypic genotypic variances are...
Photosynthetic characteristics, concentrations of mineral elements in xylem sap, and some vegetative traits ‘Khatooni’ melon were compared with those melons grafted onto three Cucurbita rootstocks cvs., Ace, Shintozwa, ShintoHongto, trained methods: T1) no pinching fruit thinning; T2) pinched to produce two lateral branches; T3) branches all the flowers from lower nodes thinned. Internal CO 2 water use efficiency varied rootstocks. Stem diameter scions, aerial fresh dry weights, mean weight...
Abstract Two Allium species (A. akaka S.G. Gmelin and A. elburzense W.) native to Iran are used locally as the fresh vegetables in medical therapy. They not cultivated, but collected from wild, thus, will soon be threatened with extinction. In this study, diversity of 15 wild accessions (4 endemic 11 akaka) north-western part were evaluated use 16 qualitative quantitative characteristics. The morphological characters high heritability included leaf length, flower number umbel, inflorescence...
AbstractMacroelements in leaves and fruits, sugar of yield 'Khatooni' melon were compared with melons grafted onto rootstocks cvs. 'Ace', 'Shintozwa', 'ShintoHongto', trained into three methods: T1) no pinching fruit thinning; T2) pinched to produce two lateral branches; T3) branches all flowers from lower nodes thinned. Concentrations nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) increased whereas opposite trends observed for magnesium (Mg) calcium (Ca). N, P, K significantly higher by 21.5%,...
