The Influence Of Priming Two Cucumber Cultivar Seeds

ripe and healthy nuts of seventeen different
walnut cultivars, which were harvested in
October 2009. Then shelled nuts were
immediately dried in shed and room temperate
(Rataj and Brindza, 1999 and Prasad, 2003). The
shell was cracked and kernel divided into fourth
replicates, then for each ones derived from 25
different fruit nuts (to represent one sample)
were allotted. Sensory evaluation comprised
estimation of external and internal properties of
walnut fruit.

The main physical characteristics of fruits
were observed by collecting 100 fruits from each
individual , and the following characteristics
were measured:
1- The dimensions of 25 fruit nuts: (length,
width, thickness, Length/width) of the
endocarp measured with a digital vernire
calipers to the precision of 0.01mm.
2- Weight (g), (flesh, dry weight) measured with
the weighing instrument, Sartorius BA310S to
the precision of 0.001g.
3- Volume cm 3 , measured by immersing in water
in a measuring cylinder to the precision of 0.01l.
4- Weight of kernel(g), measured with the
weighing instrument, Sartorius BA310S to the
precision of 0.001g.
5- Shell thickness(mm), measured with a digital
venire calipers to the precision of 0.01mm.
6- Kernel color, measured by exotica
horticultural color guide (1-12).
7- Oil%, measured by sacsolate instrument.
Statistical analyzed:
Each panel was analyzed as a randomized
complete block design with the assessors as
block and cultivars/types as treatments. Data for
all cultivars were analyzed using ANOVA in
SAS. Means were compared using the Duncan
test (P ≤ 0.05).
