Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) Production Towards the Utilization for a New Century

In the last years many studies on anthocyanins, the flavonoids responsible for the orange, red and blue colors in different plant organs, have revealed their antioxidant activity and a possible use as chemotherapeutics. The finding that tart cherries (Prunus cerasus L.) contain a great amount of anthocyanins, constituents that possess strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, have at...

Importance of Fungicide Seed Treatments for Soybeans

Several plant pathogenic fungi affect soybean plant health at different growth stages (Table 1). Although infection may occur early, many of these pathogens do not cause apparent symptoms until later growth stages. Frequently seedling health is ignored because plant populations are acceptable and stem and leaves do not express symptoms during early vegetative growth. Phytophthora sojae, Pythium...

New reports of endophytic fungi associated with cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) trees in Iran

Endophytic fungi constitute a remarkable multifarious group of microorganisms live within plants tissues without causing any obvious negative effect. Endophytic fungi have been found in every plant species examined to date. During an investigation on endophytic fungi, 123 fungal isolates were obtained from healthy twigs and leaves of cherry (Prunus avium) and sour cherry (P. cerasus) trees in I...
