Hybrydyzacja oddalona gatunków Prunus cerasifera (ałycza), Prunus armeniaca (morela), Prunus salicina (śliwa japońska), Prunus domestica (śliwa domowa) w celu zwiększenia bioróżnorodności genetycznej w obrębie rodzaju Prunus

Ameixeira - Prunus domestica

Ethanol extract of prune was separated into hexane-soluble and H(2)O-soluble fractions, and the H(2)O-soluble fraction was further separated into a methanol (MeOH) eluate and an H(2)O eluate by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography. The MeOH eluate exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity among the separated fractions evaluated by oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC). Further purification...

Formulation and Evaluation of Sustained Release Tablets Using Prunus armeniaca (L.) and Prunus domestica (L.) Gums

Potential Toxic Levels of Cyanide in Almonds (Prunus amygdalus), Apricot Kernels (Prunus armeniaca), and Almond Syrup

Under normal environmental conditions, many plants synthesize cyanogenic glycosides, which are able to release hydrogen cyanide upon hydrolysis. Each year, there are frequent livestock and occasional human victims of cyanogenic plants consumption. The present work aims to determine the hydrocyanic acid content in different samples of cyanogenic plants, selected from the Tunisian flora, and in t...

Stony endocarp dimension and shape variation in prunus section prunus.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Identification of Prunus groups at subspecies or variety level is complicated by the wide range of variation and morphological transitional states. Knowledge of the degree of variability within and between species is a sine qua non for taxonomists. Here, a detailed study of endocarp dimension and shape variation for taxa of Prunus section Prunus is presented. METHODS The s...

Flood Tolerant Prunus

Nature of Work: Many species of Prunus are notoriously intolerant of poor drainage. In some cases, inundation of the root system for only a few days can be sufficient to kill certain of these plants (1). Research conducted on commercial fruit trees, however, has shown there to be considerable variation in flood tolerance among different species and hybrids of prunus (3). For example, comparison...
