A Micropropagation System for Hazelnuts (Corylus Species)

Effects of in vitro Digestion on the IgE-binding Activity of Proteins from Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana)

The allergenicity of hazelnuts treated with different proteolytic enzymes was examined and compared by SDS-PAGE / immunoblotting and EASTinhibition experiments using sera of 16 hazelnut allergic individuals. 30 min treatment with the enzymes protease, elastase and trypsin eliminated the allergenicity of the hazelnut proteins, which can be shown by means of immunoblotting experiments. EASTinhibi...

Survey on Etiology and Distribution of Dieback / Decline of Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.) in Northern Iran

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is affected by dieback (DB) and decline (D) diseases causing significant losses to hazelnut production in the Eshkevarat (Guilan province, northern Iran) as the main region for hazelnut production in Iran. Although, causal agents of these disorders have remained uncertain for many years. During 2017-18, results of a survey on DB and D diseases in hazelnut...

Micropropagation and cytogenetic assessment of Zingiber species of Northeast India

An improved micropropagation protocol was developed for Zingiber moran and Z. zerumbet, two wild species of the genus Zingiber, found in Northeast India. The effects of growth regulators, sugar concentrations, and nutrients were tested on the rate of shoot initiation and multiplication. An increase in proliferation and multiplication occurred in modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium suppleme...

Advances in Micropropagation of a Highly Important Cassia species- A Review

The medicinal properties of plant species have made an outstanding contribution in the origin and evolution of many traditional herbal therapies. Over the past few years, however, the medicinal plants have regained a wide recognition due to an escalating faith in herbal medicine in view of its lesser side effects compared to allopathic medicine in addition the necessity of meeting the requireme...
