Journal ArticleDOI
Benzyladenine and gibberellin treatment of developing "Pink Lady" apples results in mature fruits with a thicker cuticle comprising clusters of epidermal cells.
TL;DR: Analysis of anatomical changes in the mature peel at the calyx end 210 days after full bloom (DAFB), following application of the plant growth regulators (PGRs) at the cell-division phase of fruit development, suggests cuticle-embedded epidermal cell clusters may have contributed to strengthening the peel by adding more cell-wall components, thickening the cuticle layer and possibly enhancing crack repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does alteration of ‘Koroneiki’ olive tree architecture by uniconazole affect productivity?
TL;DR: Although the results demonstrate that soil application of uniconazole can be used to control olive tree size in high-density orchards, it should be used carefully to ensure adequate tree illumination, so as to avoid crop loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lavi 1—A new Pyrus betulifolia rootstock for ‘Coscia’ pear (Pyrus communis) in the hot climate of Israel
TL;DR: It is concluded that in a warm climate, yield efficiency is not the only parameter to be taken into account; building a strong tree for a weak cultivar scion such as ‘Coscia’ is the first requirement for establishing an orchard.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of seven haplotype-specific SFBs in European pear (Pyrus communis) and their use as molecular markers
TL;DR: For the first time, seven haplotype-specific SFBs were isolated from European pears and particular primers for each were generated, thus providing an additional tool for S-genotyping of European pear cultivars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syrian pear (Pyrus syriaca) as a pollinator for European pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars.
TL;DR: Molecular S -genotyping revealed that ‘Spadona’ is semi-compatible with its three pollinators, which explains, at least in part, the relatively low pear yield in Israel.
