RESPONSE OF LITTLE CHERRY-INFECTED CHERRY TREES TO ZINC TREATMENTS

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...

Cherry trees in Mount Cook National Park

[Triatominae biogeography and the European cherry trees].

O artigo de Forattini (1980) exige uma análise tanto no âmbito acadêmico, quanto no das ações sanitárias de controle da endemia chagásica. No próprio título do artigo é anunciado o uso de uma disciplina científica fora do conjunto clássico daquelas com que trabalham os sanitaristas, principais destinatários presumíveis de um periódico de saúde pública.

Further investigations of the little cherry disease in New Zealand

In a trial to determine if flowering cherries (Prunus serrulata Lindl.) were a source of little cherry disease, infection was found in seven of 10 species and cultivars tested. In an orchard trial with the cultivar 'Lambert', fruit symptoms of little cherry occurred in infected trees in the fifth year of fruiting, 8 years after planting. The symptoms also occurred in the two succeeding years, a...

Influence of Heat Treatments on Carotenoid Content of Cherry Tomatoes

Tomatoes and tomato products are rich sources of carotenoids-principally lycopene, followed by β-carotene and lutein. The aim of this work was to study the effect of heat treatment on carotenoid content in cherry tomatoes. Raw and canned products were sampled and analysed; furthermore whole, skin and pulp fractions of cherry tomatoes were analysed when raw and home-processed, in order to better...
