“…The results achieved in this study showed that propagation of fig plant material under field conditions can be applied and should not require sophisticated equipment [ 6 , 12 ]. The values of characters measured on nursery fig plants in the present study were compared with those from other countries, namely, Morocco [ 12 , 15 ], Turkey [ 14 , 16 ], Iran [ 13 ], Thailand [ 17 ], and Chile [ 18 ]. Similar percentage of rooted cuttings on some Moroccan varieties propagated by using hardwood stem cutting under field conditions was found.…”

This research was carried out in Southeast of Tunisia in 2009 and 2010, in order to study the propagation of six (Ficus carica L.) cultivars by using hardwood cuttings under the field conditions. The effect of the cultivars and the type of buds, shoots age, shoots length, and shoots diameter were recorded. Ten cuttings per cultivar and/or cutting types with three replications were planted in rooting unit. Percentage of root emergence and six morphological parameters of young fig plants were measured. Results showed that the responses of cuttings as fig nursery plants presented a high variability among the five cultivars. The most widely varied characters were % root emergence (RE) and cumulative growth of young plant (CG). The first one ranged from 10% to 90%, the second varied within 32 and 112 cm. Concerning the ‘‘BITHER” cultivar, 6 cutting types with different age, length, and diameter were evaluated. Results showed a great variation in % of root emergence (0–90%), length of nursery plant (3–77 cm), and number of roots/nursery plant (0–29 roots). The present research showed that the hardwood cutting of local fig cultivars can be propagated under field conditions in Southeast of Tunisia.

“…Among the main reasons for this decline, we can include the limited information about commercial varieties, the few studies available on cultivation techniques (pruning, irrigation and fertilization) (Goldhamer & Salinas, 1999;Melgarejo, 1996Melgarejo, , 1998Tapia et al, 2003) or harvest and postharvest fruit handling. In recent years, there has been a marked growth in the consumption of both fresh and dry figs, especially in Mexico, the United States, Japan, China and countries of the Persian Gulf (http://faostat.fao.org/default.…”

In this work, the agronomic behaviour and fruit quality of ten varieties of common fig were evaluated for the establishment of new commercial orchards destined for fresh consumption. The following traits were measured: annual yield, cumulative yield, trunk cross sectional area (TCSA) and yield efficiency of each variety, as well as weight, width, total soluble solids (TSS), pH, titratable acidity (TA) and maturation index (MI) of brebas and figs. The results show that 'Banane' and 'Brown Turkey' were the earliest to enter into production, and 'Banane' showed the highest annual yield in the 7th green (2014), with 76 kg/tree, followed by 'Brown Turkey' (57.6 kg/tree), 'Cuello Dama Blanco' (52 kg/tree) and 'Colar Elche' (39 kg/tree). On the other hand, 'Cuello Dama Blanco' and 'De Rey' exhibited the better organoleptic traits, with TSS and MI values ranged from 18.7 ºBrix and 203.3 MI ('Cuello Dama Blanco') to 20.4 ºBrix and 187.1 MI ('De Rey') for brebas and from 21.4 ºBrix and 278.7 ('Cuello Dama Blanco') to 23.3 ºBrix and 255.6 ('De Rey') for figs. This study will allow the fruit grower to select the most interesting and appropriate range of varieties based on market needs taking into account the ripening season (early, middle or late) and fruit colour (green, purple or black).Additional keywords: yield; brebas; fresh consumption; Spain.

“…F. carica cultivation is spread throughout the Mediterranean area, Middle East, and Asia. These regions are affected by a high temperate climate during the summer, which increases salinity in the soil due to reduced water availability [ 4 ]. The fig tree has showed moderate resistance to saline stress compared to other fruit trees [ 5 , 6 ].…”

LTR-retrotransposon dynamics in common fig (Ficus carica L.) genome

et al. 2021

Background Long Terminal Repeat retrotransposons (LTR-REs) are repetitive DNA sequences that constitute a large part of the genome. The improvement of sequencing technologies and sequence assembling strategies has achieved genome sequences with much greater reliability than those of the past, especially in relation to repetitive DNA sequences. Results In this study, we analysed the genome of Ficus carica L., obtained using third generation sequencing technologies and recently released, to characterise the complete complement of full-length LTR-REs to study their dynamics during fig genome evolution. A total of 1867 full-length elements were identified. Those belonging to the Gypsy superfamily were the most abundant; among these, the Chromovirus/Tekay lineage was the most represented. For the Copia superfamily, Ale was the most abundant lineage. Measuring the estimated insertion time of each element showed that, on average, Ivana and Chromovirus/Tekay were the youngest lineages of Copia and Gypsy superfamilies, respectively. Most elements were inactive in transcription, both constitutively and in leaves of plants exposed to an abiotic stress, except for some elements, mostly belonging to the Copia/Ale lineage. A relationship between the inactivity of an element and inactivity of genes lying in close proximity to it was established. Conclusions The data reported in this study provide one of the first sets of information on the genomic dynamics related to LTR-REs in a plant species with highly reliable genome sequence. Fig LTR-REs are highly heterogeneous in abundance and estimated insertion time, and only a few elements are transcriptionally active. In general, the data suggested a direct relationship between estimated insertion time and abundance of an element and an inverse relationship between insertion time (or abundance) and transcription, at least for Copia LTR-REs.
