‘Zuni’ is a new pecan ( Carya illinoinensis ) cultivar released and patented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS). ‘Zuni’ was released because of its large nuts in medium-size clusters; well-filled, cream
gray ‘Ronde De Nice’ courgette ( Burpee Seeds, 2015 ), golden ball zucchini ‘One Ball’, and pale ball zucchini ‘Cue Ball’ ( Hollar Seeds, 2015 ; Zhang, 2002 ). However, some ball squash cultivars have fallen from favor because they are susceptible to
control. In addition, job’s tears cultivar Thai Black Loei, which has antiproliferative activity and apoptosis, has been shown to be a potential medicine to treat cancer ( Manosroi et al., 2016 ). In Taiwan, the ecological traits of job’s tears are an area
‘Seneca’ is a new pecan ( Carya illinoinensis ) cultivar released and patented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS). ‘Seneca’ is released because of its high nut quality, attractive cream-color kernels
cultivars. The majority of commercial L. camara cultivars were found to be fertile ( Czarnecki, 2011 ). New infertile cultivars are needed by the environmental horticulture industry and for protecting native species and the environment ( Bechtloff et al
‘Minnie Finger Lime’ is a new citrus cultivar released 15 Feb. 2018 ( Bowman, 2018 ) by the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The major positive attributes of this new citrus scion are the combination
The new apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.) cultivar Sciros™, resulting from a cross of 'Gala' with 'Splendour', is marketed internationally from New Zealand. A characteristic of this cultivar is the presence of dense, dark green or black nodules in the fruit cortex, located in close proximity to the five sepal vascular bundles. Nodules are visible as green spots beginning about 40 days after bloom and they continue to develop, reaching a length of up to 8 mm at fruit maturity, although there is considerable variation in their size. Large vascular nodules often develop dark brown centers and reduce the visual quality of the fruit flesh. The frequencies of vascular nodules in 61 'Gala' × 'Splendour' hybrids from New Zealand and British Columbia, Canada, were examined. These ranged from a mean of 0 to 12.1, depending on the hybrid. Thirteen hybrids were in the high frequency class (2.76-12.1), 28 in the low frequency (0.04-1.86), and 20 were without nodules. The mean nodule frequency in Sciros™ was 12.1 nodules per fruit, the highest of all hybrids examined. Our survey of 44 other cultivars confirmed the occurrence of vascular nodules in 'Gala' and 'Splendour', with mean vascular nodule frequency of 1.9 and 0.5 nodules per fruit, respectively. Nodules were also found in 'Newtown Pippin' (frequency 0.8), and in a 'Newtown Pippin' × 'Granny Smith' hybrid (frequency 0.1).

desire is to have ornamental plants with truer red color ( Behe et al., 1997 , 1999 ). One objective of this study was to evaluate flower color among H1 category, red-flowering rhododendron cultivars to identify those cultivars that produce the reddest
economic productivity. In addition, it is important for fruit growers to familiarize themselves with the biology of fertilization, especially in relation to the specific cultivars in their orchards, whereby necessary precautions should be considered
