The experiment detected the chill hour requirements of 6 female and 8 male varieties of Pistachio (Pictacia vera L.) cultivated in Aleppo, Idleb, Hama and Dar’a in Syria needed to break down their bud dormancy. Studied cuttings left at 2°C in cool chamber for 650, 750, 850, 950, 1050 and 1150 hours were placed into growth chamber offering temperature, moisture and brightness similar to those available in nature during the period of blooming flowers. Statistical analysis distinguished clearly between the chill requirements of the female and the male varieties, where the males needed lower cold hours. Also, the female varieties showed differences among them in their chill requirements due to genetic resources which were affected by their geographical areas and attitudes. The period in the growth chamber needed to reach a proper blooming ranged between 32 days in the case of Ashoury variety cultivated in Dar’a with 1150 chill hours and 54 days with Nab Aljamal variety existed in Hama and Idleb with 650 chill hours. Meanwhile, in the male varieties this figure was between 22 days for male 2 cultivated in Idleb (1150 chill hour) and 43 days for Male E in Dar’a (650 chill hours). The cluster configuration between the males and females varieties was sorted by putting them in two relative distant sub-clusters. The females varieties were distributed sorted into sub-groups as well, insuring the similarity among the ones belong. In addition, The males varieties were distributed into two types depending on their earliness blooming time (early: Hama1, Hama2, Idleb1, Idleb2 – late: A jellin, E Jellin, Aleppo1, Aleppo2). The results could be useful for the decisions of what varieties to be grown in certain places depending on natural chill hours available there.

The chill hour requirements of female and male trees of Pistacia atlantica, Pistacia palaestina and Pistacia khinjuk have been examined. This was carried out through putting the studied cuttings in cool chamber for different perriods of temperatur es of 2 °C (550, 650, 750, 850, 950, and 1050 hours). The cuttings, later on, were moved into growth chamber which offers temperature, moisture and light similar to that available at the time of flowering season naturally.
Winter chilling requirements are critical for flowering and fruiting of many fruit species, with evidence that pistachio has been adversely affected by warm winter, so that estimating chilling and heat requirements is crucial for identifying appro priate cultivars for given site. In our study, different levels of chilling hours were applied (500-600-700-800-900-1000-1100-1200-1300-1400 h).
The research trial was carried out at University of California, Davis, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Cooperative Extension–Kearney Agricultural Center (KAC). Part of the scientific work in the laboratory started from November 1, 2001 through out the end of February 2002. This trial was conducted using Pistacia vera; the female variety ‘Kerman’ and its pollinator, variety ‘Peters’;… both are grafted on the rootstock UCB1.
Twenty apple varieties were evaluated in the germ plasm of the Agricultural Scientific Research Center in Swaida for Morphological traits, bud honological stages, days after full bloom, storability which were ranged between 2.5 – 8 months, and bes t susceptibility (e.g. wooly aphid and powdery mildew), all studied varieties showed low susceptibility to wooly aphid, while Jersy Mac revealed high susceptibility to powdery mildew compared with the other varieties. The yield of all varieties was studied, so, they divided into: high yield varieties such Stark Earliest, Royal Gala and Golden 972; Good yield varieties "Golden Delicious, Starking Delicious, and Granny Smith etc."; and moderate yield varieties" Red Spur Delicious and Rome Beauty". Chemical analysis (Total soluble solids and total sugars) were achieved for all studied apple varieties. Apple Varieties were divided into five groups depending on Days After Full Bloom (DAFB). The present investigation indicted the high quantitative and qualitative traits of studied varieties which candidate for credence and distribute them in suitable environmental areas in Syria.
This research work was carried out in the nursery field of the Faculty of AGgriculture in Tishreen Univesity during the spring growing season of 2012, it involved studying some chemical characteristics of potato tubers of Five newly introduced vari eties of potato ( Atlas, Bureen, Bomba, Rumba and Orla), in comparision with Spunta variety as a control. It was showed that the hieghest large tuber were recorded in Atlas ,Burren and Bomba. Bomba variety showed hieghest standards tubers (7.8 Kg/ m2). It was showed also the hieghest dry matter (DM=20.5 %), and Ash content (1.01%) in tubers, were recorded in Rumba variety. Bureen and Spunta varieties showed hieghest values of starch contents (14.5 % and 14.4%) respectively. While Vitamin C (VC ( , was encountered ( 19.36, 17.6, and 17.6 mg / 100g) for Rumba, Spunta and Bureen respectively. Also, the highest values for protein content (1%) and the soluble solid (5%) in tubers were found in Rumba variety.
