Increased Suberin Accumulation in Peach × Almond Hybrids

Evolutionary Genomics of Peach and Almond Domestication

The domesticated almond [Prunus dulcis (L.) Batsch] and peach [P. persica (Mill.) D. A. Webb] originated on opposite sides of Asia and were independently domesticated ∼5000 yr ago. While interfertile, they possess alternate mating systems and differ in a number of morphological and physiological traits. Here, we evaluated patterns of genome-wide diversity in both almond and peach to better unde...

Does suberin accumulation in plant roots contribute to waterlogging tolerance?

Plants that are adapted to waterlogged conditions develop aerenchyma in roots for ventilation. Some wetland plant species also form an apoplastic barrier at the outer cell layers of roots that reduces radial oxygen loss (ROL) from the aerenchyma and prevents toxic compounds from entering the root. The composition of the apoplastic barrier is not well understood. One potential component is suber...

effect of iba and medium on rooting of two new selected peach × almond hybrids cuttings

introduction: potential almond rootstock and thus main genetic sources for the breeding of its new rootstocks are almond itself, peach and plum, and these species cross-breeds almond is a source of resistance to limestone and to drought because of its roots, which reach deep layers of soil; it is also more resistant than peach to na and bo. asexual or vegetative propagation is a hereditable cha...

Budding Compatibility of Almond and Plum on Some Wild Species and Interspecific Hybrids of Almond

Evaluation of Germination Capacity of Stored Pollen of Almond and Peach

Pollen viability and its germination capability for fruit set in are almond and peach essential. To optimize the pollen culture medium of almond and peach and selection of best medium, the present study was carried out with 48 different culture media containing different compositions including diverse levels of boric acid (0 and 100mg/1), calcium nitrate (0,150and300mg/l،), magnesium sulphate (...
