This work was carried out during two successive seasons (2017 and 2018) to examine the response of ʺCrimson Seedlessʺ grapes to some pre-harvest treatments i.e. jasmonic acid (JA) at (4 and 8) mM/L and grapefruit seed extract (GSE) at (0.5 and 1) mM/L on some berries quality parameters under cold storage and shelf-life conditions. Vines were sprayed in two application times at (25th and 30th August) during 2017 and 2018, respectively. The non-ionic surfactant Tween-20 at 0.05% (v/v) was added to all treatments to reduce the surface tension and increase the contact angle of sprayed droplets. Results showed that both jasmonic acid and grapefruit seed extract treatments at different concentrations were significantly effective in reducing weight loss, berry decay, berry shatter, and total loss in cluster weight percentages during the cold storage period and shelf life as compared to the control. Also, the previous treatments significantly increased berry firmness, soluble solid content (SSC%), SSC/acid ratio, and total anthocyanin contents, where it was caused a significant decrease in total acidity percentage during the cold storage period and shelf life in comparison with control. Furthermore, the lowest values of weight loss, berry shatter, berry decay and total loss in cluster weight were founded by JA at 8 mM and GSE at 1 mM at the end of shelf life in comparison with other treatments. It could be concluded that JA at 8 mM and GSE at 1 mM as preharvest treatments are applicable for improving the storability of ʺCrimson Seedlessʺ grapes and maintaining their quality during cold storage and shelf life.
在2017年和2018年连续两个季节,研究了收获前茉莉酸(JA)浓度为(4和8)mM/L和葡萄柚籽提取物(GSE)浓度为(0.5和1)mM/L的处理对低温贮藏和货架期条件下果实品质参数的影响。在2017年和2018年,葡萄树分别在8月25日和30日进行两次喷施。在各处理中加入0.05% (v/v)的非离子表面活性剂Tween-20,可以降低表面张力,增加喷雾液滴的接触角。结果表明,与对照相比,不同浓度的茉莉酸和葡萄柚籽提取物处理均能显著降低果实在冷藏期和货架期的失重、果实腐烂、破碎和总簇重百分比损失。同时,处理显著提高了果实硬度、可溶性固形物含量(SSC%)、可溶性固形物/酸比和总花青素含量,并显著降低了贮藏期和贮藏期的总酸度百分比。此外,与其他处理相比,8 mM的JA和1 mM的GSE处理在贮藏期末的失重、浆果破碎、浆果腐烂和簇重总损失均最低。综上所述,采前处理8 mM JA和1 mM GSE可提高深红无籽葡萄的贮藏性,并可在冷藏和货架期保持其品质。

The present study was carried out at Nubaria, El-Beheira Governorate, Egypt, during the two summer seasons of 2018 and 2019 to study the effect of foilar application of salicylic rates on yield and quality of some soybean varieties under drip irrigation. This experiment was laid out in a split-plot system with three replications in both seasons. The main plots were soybean varieties (Giza111, Giza 22, J350, and J356), while subplot allocated by the number of spray times of salicylic acid (SA) concentration (water = control, once after 30 DAS, twice after 30, and 50 DAS, and three times after 30, 50 and 70 days after sowing=DAS) was in both seasons. The obtained results showed that foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) of the four soybean varieties significantly affected plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, 100- seed weight (g), seed yield (kg/fed), straw yield (kg/fed), biological yield (kg/fed), as well as oil content (%), whereas Giza 111 recorded the highest values of the all the study, also increasing of times of foliar application of SA increased the pervious characters comparing with the control treatments (water spray) in both seasons. The interaction between varieties and number of spray times of SA was significant on all the studied characters, where planting Giza 111 with twice foliar application of SA at the rate 1000 ppm recorded the highest ones in the two cropping seasons in drip water irrigation under the study conditions.

The present study was carried out at Abess, Alexandria, Egypt, during the two seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 to study the effect of water stress and foilar application of salicylic rates on yield and quality of wheat. This experiment was laid out in a split plot system with three replications in both seasons. The main plots were water stress treatments (normal irrigation, skipping the first irrigation at the age of 50 days, skipping the second irrigation at the age of 70 days, and skipping the third irrigation at the age of 90 days from sowing), while salicylic acid (SA) concentration (water = control, 1 mM; 2 mM and 3 mM) distributed in a sub plot in both seasons. The obtained results showed that sowing wheat cultivar namely Shandaweel- 1 with foliar application of salicylic acid (SA) twice at 50 and 70 days after sowing (DAS) at the rate of 2 mM/l under normal irrigation or skipping one irrigation at the first or the second irrigation achieved the highest mean value of yield, yield components and protein (%) in grain under study conditions at Abess, Alexandria Governorate, Egypt.

To investigate the response of maize hybrids to plant population and nitrogen fertilization rates. Two field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture (Saba Basha), Alexandria University during 2018 and 2019 seasons. Factorial experiments (two factors) in randomized complete block design (RCBD). Whereas, the first factor was plant population (50000, 75000, 100000 plant/ha), while, the second factor was nitrogen fertilization rates (216, 288, 360, and 432 kg N/ha). The results revealed that ear length (cm), number of rows/ear, number of grains/row, number of grains/ear, 100-grains weight (g), grain yield (t/ha), straw yield, biological yield (t/ha), harvest index (%) and grain protein content (%) of maize hybrid were, significantly, affected by plant population and nitrogen fertilizer rates, where the highest grain yield was obtained by growing maize plant hybrid 3444 at a population of 75000 plant/ha under the application of 360 kg N/ha under the environmental conditions of Alexandria, Egypt.

Morphological and molecular analyses were conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity among eleven Egyptian date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.). Ten SSR primer pairs revealed a high percentage of polymorphism (97.4%) among 38 total number of alleles, while 11 SCoT primers produced 48.5% from 171 amplified fragments. SCoTs recorded effective multiplex ratio (EMR) and PIC values of 7.5 and 0.14, respectively, opposing to 3.7 and 0.26 for SSRs, respectively. A similar marker index has thus resulted in both markers. Nei’s gene diversity (h) was generally low for both marker systems indicating homogeneous nature and narrow genetic background for the studied Egyptian date palms, which was also emphasized through their high genetic similarity estimates. The results of UPGMA cluster analysis and PCoA grouped the eleven date palms according to their geographical location and sex. In addition to classical morphological characters, the current study confirmed the importance of using SCoTs as functionally gene-based multi-loci markers besides nuclear SSR loci to assess the genetic variations and cultivar identification among Egyptian date palm genotypes

Malaria still remains a major health concern that affects the poor and marginalised populations. Most of indigenous knowledge about plants used for the management of malaria is undocumented and the risks of being lost are on the high. The ethnobotanical study documents the different types of medicinal plants used for the treatment of malaria in Kashere and its environs of Akko L.G.A. of Gombe State. Information was collected by interviewing 84 informants, using a semi-structured questionnaire, which included Traditional Medical Practioneers, farmers and other inhabitants who have experience in the management of malaria. Collected plant samples were identified and authenticated at the Federal University of Kashere Herbarium (FUKH). Data was analysed using frequency and percentages. In this study, 81% of the informants are males and 19% are females. A total of 63% of the informants have attended primary school/Islamia education, and 76% of the respondents are aged above 40 years of age. A total of 41 plants species belonging to 28 families were identified. Most plants used in the management of malaria in Kashere community belong to Fabaceae (12%), Rutaceae (7%), Asteraceae (7%) and Malvaceae (7%) plant families. Azadirachta indica A. Juss is with the highest relative frequency of citation (RFC- 0.74) among the plants surveyed. The main method of preparation is decoction and dominant plant parts used in the preparation of remedies were leaves. The diversity of medicinal plants species used and associated indigenous knowledge are of great value to Kashere community and their conservation and preservation is paramount.
