The present study identified the Hamedan province walnut population as one of the richest, most genetically diverse regions in Iran during 2019-2020. After initial screening, 47 genotypes were selected for further evaluation of pomological and phenological traits based on International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) descriptors. Nut and kernel weights among the selected genotypes ranged between 7.15-21.05 g and 3.0-10.8 g, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA) categorized genotypes into three distinct groups while cluster analysis (CA) further categorized genotypes into one of four groups. Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation (P <0.01) between nut weight (NWT), nut size, and kernel weight (KW) while a negative correlation (P <0.01) between shell thickness (STH) and packing tiss...

A modified-bulk segregant analysis in combination with the application of the 140 RAPD primers, 87 nuclear SSR markers spanning the whole almond genome and 5 chloroplast SSR markers, were used to identify molecular markers linked to flowering time. Results showed a quantitative inheritance of this trait in the studied progenies. The seedlings showed a wide range of flowering dates between both progenitors although some of these descendants were earlier in flowering than the early progenitor ‘Tuono’. Results showed that among RAPD markers evaluated, BA-17600,1000, BC-05320, BC-06800, BC-141750, BC-17600, BC-20250, OPC-05850 and OPC-09700,1100 markers were linked to late blooming time. In addition, markers BA-0...

The high amount of psoralen (3038 μg/g fresh weight) in in vivo condition were obtained in brown seeds. Psoralen content in plant parts growing in vitro were lower than those growing in vivo. Quantitative analysis on psoralen in callus derived from different plant parts showed that maximum psoralen (2601.8 μg/g fw) was recorded in callus derived from cotyledons. Estimation of psoralen in shoots derived from different callus were indicated high amount of psoralen (572.3 μg/g fw) in plant drivated from node callus. Identification of psoralen in the callus of Psoralea corylifolia is reported for first time. In the other section attempts were done to enhance of psoralen by some organic elicitors including; yeast extract, proline, myzo-inositol and sucrose.in different medium. For the first time a comparative study of mature nodal juvenile nodal explants and cotyledonary callus cultures were evaluated. These explants elicitated with different organic elicitor. Results revealed that maximum quantity of psoralen were present in cotyledonary callus cultures, mature and juvenile nodal cultures, respectively. Also, results indicated that there were significant variations in the psoralen content in mature nodal, juvenile nodal and cotyledonary callus cultures, when their medium supplemented with different elicitors in the wide range of concentrations. Interestingly, high amount of psoralen content (2881.9 μg/g fw.) even among all of the organic elicitors tried was found at 300 mg/l yeast extract in cotyledonary callus cultures. Key words: Psoralen, Organic elicitors, Yeast extract, Proline, Myzo- Inositol, Sucroze.

In this experiment was used the randomized complete block design with three replications. In this investigation, was applied the five different sizes of seed tuber (35-45, 45-55, 55-65, 65-75 and 75-85gr). Tuber yield, phonological stages of plant development and many other traits were vary significantly by different size of seed tuber. All of the traits ...

In this study, important morphological traits and self-incompatibilities in 71 almond cultivars and genotypes were studied. Simple and multiplex specific PCR analyses were used in order to identify self-incompatibility alleles. Based on the results, cultivars and genotypes including ‘Dir Ras–e-Savojbolagh’, ‘D-124’, ‘D-99’, ‘Shahrood 12’, ‘Tuono’, ‘Nonpareil’, ‘Price’, ‘Mirpanj-e-Tehran’, ‘Pakotahe-e- Taleghan’, ‘V-13-34’, ‘V-16-8, ‘V-11-10’, ‘Zarghan 10’, ‘Uromiyeh 68’, ‘Barg dorosht-e-Hamedan’ and ‘Yazd 60’ were late flowering and had the highest quality of nut and kernel characters. The result of the PCR method using combined primers AS1II and AmyC5R showed amplification of ten self-incompatibility alleles (S1, S2, S3, S5, S6, S7, S8, S10, S12,and S unknown allele) ...

Researchers have been trying to introduce new thinners for almost thirty years, replacing hand-thinning. In this study, the quantitative and qualitative effects of some compounds used as thinning agents were examined on the ‘Alberta’ peaches and the ‘Sun King’ nectarines. This study has been carried out in a commercial orchard in Semirom, Isfahan, Iran during 2015–2016. Treatments included lime-sulfur (6%, 8% and double application of 6%), 10 mL L−1 fish oil, ammonium thiosulfate (20, 25 mL L−1and double application of 20 mL L−1), the plant growth regulator Apogee (300, 450 mg L−1 and double application of 300 mg L−1), hand-thinning of flowers (at full bloom) and hand-thinning of fruits (at pit hardening). The temperature at the application time of treatments on peach and nectarine trees was above 15°C and the sky was sunny. Results showed that all of the treatments, except for 300 and 450 mg L−1 Apogee significantly thinned the fruit to 61%. The treatments increased fruit weight (42%), volume (46%), total soluble solids (TSS) (28%), TSS/titratable acidity (TA) ratio (47%) and color (37%) as compared to control. However, there were no significant differences in TA of fruits among the samples. In terms of yield, various treatments differed significantly. The highest yield for Alberta peach was achieved by the control (123 kg/tree) and the lowest yield was obtained for the single application of 20 mL L−1 ammonium thiosulfate (85.41 kg/tree). In ‘Alberta’ peaches, the biggest fruit (125 cm3) was observed with the double application of 20 mL L−1 ammonium thiosulfate and fruit-thinning by 114 cm3. Double application of these chemicals often resulted in more blossom thinning than a single application. The blossoms and fruits were hand-thinned by 120 cm3 and 116 cm3, respectively. Double applications of 6% lime-sulfur and 10 mL L−1 fish oil gave the largest fruit size (115 cm3) of ‘Sun King’ nectarines. Trees under fruit and blossom-thinning, ammonium thiosulfate and lime-sulfur treatments showed the good return blossom in the second year.

Spraying of paclobutrazol was carried out on cultivar of Bidane Sefide at concentrations of 0, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L with three replicate contest of the randomized complete block design (CRB) in late buds dormancy in Malayer. Chosen in of proline, malondialdehyde, soluble sugar, total protein, photosynthesis pigments and enzymes activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and ascorbate peroxidase of buds were measured in spring. Results were shown significant effect of paclobutrazol on parameters of proline, soluble sugar, total protein and mentioned enzymes. Treatment of 500 mg/L had the most effect on reduced of malondialdehyde levels (with 13% decrease compared to the control) and increased the activity of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and ascorbate peroxidase (with 563, 478, 407 decrease compared to the control, respectively). Due to the effects of these parameters on determining tolerance to environmental stresses, concentration of 500 mg/L was determined as best concentration to improve the adaptability of buds for late cold spring tolerance
