Calcium deficiencies and physiological disorders cause serious diseases in tomatoes. Blossom end rot (BER), in susceptible cultivars, may cause severe economic losses. The goal of this study is to determine the effect of three organic calcium sources on the growth and quality of fruit production of tomatoes. Egg, snail and sea shell powders and extracts have been used as biological fertilizers. The experiment was conducted in a block factorial trial with three replications. The trials comprised two factors: calcium sources and calcium source form (powder and extract). The results showed that the growth parameters and yield were improved by the calcium source, whatever the form. Also, BER was lower in plants treated with calcium contrary to the control. However, plants treated with eggshells showed the best growth (mean) and the lowest rate (0.40%) of BER than the snail and sea shell.展开更多

It was identified by a bacteriological test, electro-microscopic observation, Koch＇s postulate test, Biolog, fatty acid methyl esters （FAMEs）, and a polymerase chain reaction （PCR） test, and compared with the standard reference strains. Six representative strains out of 20 pathogenic bacterial isolates from 16 diseased samples showed characteristics similar to three standard strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae from Belgium. They were identified as P. syringae pv. syringae with a Biolog similarity of 0.57-0.86 and FAMEs similarity of 0.58-0.81. The bacterium was reisolated from the symptomatic plants and blossoms. Identification as P. syringae pv. syringae was confirmed by using PCR primers and sequence tests, and compared with the above-mentioned results. The data supported the fact that the pear blossom and bud blast in China could be caused by P. syringae pv. syringae.展开更多

This circumstance resembles a famous movie “The Gold Rush”(1925) expressed the true story about the stream of American people as crowded as the hurricane to join the gold racing in the 19th century. Similarly, the family of 2D materials has gained tremendous interest from broad scientific community in various fields, from fundamental chemistry and physics to materials and device engineering. This special issue includes both tutorial reviews and original research articles, providing general overviews of the recent progresses and bringing about the newest discoveries in this rapidly evolving field.展开更多

The studied parameters were： water content, pH, free acidity （FA）, electrical conductivity （EC）, ash content, hydroxymethylfurfuraldehyde （HMF）, proline content, specific rotatory power and color. Most of the measured parameters had showed values in the range of the international standards, with a particular richness in proline and ash content. Chemometrics-based approach reveals that the discriminated groups were Citrus, Ziziphus and forest even with over represented groups like Eucalyptus. Principle component analysis （PCA） enabled to extract three principal components explaining nearly 65% of total variance, PCj and PC2 were related to botanical origin whereas PC3 to honey age. Analysis of variance showed that the studied variables were almost different depending on botanical, geographical origin and season. The current study also shows the presence of diverse honey varieties in Algeria. The collected data will contribute to the creation of products with protected geographical or/and botanical origins.展开更多
