Abstract: Total crop load has an inverse relationship with fruit size, while larger fruit size is often demanded by the peach and nectarine markets. Hand-thinning is extremely expensive, and thus, crop load adjustment, using blossom thinners is a crucial practice to ensure production of commercially acceptable fruit size and yield efficiency in stone fruit.

Abstract: Yellow mutant is an important material for studying chlorophyll biosynthesis, degradation and the genetics and development of chloroplasts. The chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation pathways of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) mutant ym (Yellow mutant) and control ZS4 (Zhongshu 4) were studied. Photosynthetic parameters and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of the variety ym and ZS4 were measured.

Abstract: Preharvest nutrient applications have major impacts on apple (Malus domestica Bork) tree mineral status, productivity, and fruit quality attributes. Despite the wide use of calcium chloride (CaCl2) for improving apple fruit quality attributes particularly bitter pit, application of amino acid, polyamine and phosphite-based nutrients (Sysstem series) have become popular in the past decade.

Abstract: In Menoua Division, common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is amongst the legumes which are greatly cultivated with farmers growing different cultivar types. Upon harvest, these cultivars are stored to be used as food over the storage period or for sale. Unfortunately appropriate facilities for storing the cultivars after harvest are not available hence predisposing the grains to fungi infection.

Abstract: Abiotic stresses such as salt and water stresses severely reduce crop productivity. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an important economic crop; however, not much is known about its stress responses. In our previous transcriptomic and computational studies we showed the level of salinity tolerance in different tomato cultivars.

Abstract: Mid-hills of Uttarakhand constitute major part of agricultural land in north-west Himalaya. This region has unique advantage of off-seasonality in vegetables production. Sub-optimal temperature during winter months is the major limitation in vegetable production in the region. Polyhouse provides a protective cover during winter and spring for successful production of off-season vegetables like summer squash for early market.

Abstract: Bitter pit is a physiological disorder that occurs in pome fruit, mainly apples (Malus domestica) and pears (Pyrus communis). Although bitter pit was believed to be caused by pathogens, it is now commonly agreed that any factor that leads to low calcium (Ca) concentration or high ratios of certain mineral elements in the fruit tissue, particularly, nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and/or magnesium (Mg) to Ca can induce bitter pit disorder.

Abstract: Chinese jujube is a perennial fruit tree, famous for its nutritional and medicinal value. However, there is a lack of information on its growth cycle. The study was carried out in Portales, New Mexico, from 2018-2019, to define the phenophases of Chinese jujube according to BBCH scale. We observed eight major growth stages for Chinese jujube
