Abstract Apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Matsumura) (Homoptera: Aphididae), was recorded as a new pest of apricot in Hungary the spring 2020. Identification based on morphological and genetical (mitochondrial COI region) characteristics. M. most likely arrived last 2–3 years has quickly become widespread causing significant damage to young trees. Colony development, differences susceptibility be...

We have been interested in the structure of the X chromosome of the stock known as scute-8 apricot, found by SIDOROV (1931). This stock has been used extensively in our laboratory, and it early became a matter of importance to have exact information on the nature of this chromosome, It was of course known that it contained a long inversion, but its exact limits had not been fully worked out. Th...

Loss of pollen-S function in Prunus self-compatible cultivars has been mostly associated with deletions or insertions in the S-haplotype-specific F-box (SFB) genes. However, self-compatible pollen-part mutants defective for non-S-locus factors have also been found, for instance, in the apricot (Prunus armeniaca) cv. 'Canino'. In the present study, we report the genetic and molecular analysis of...

We present a prototype of a new musical interface for Japanese drumming techniques and styles. Our design used in the Aobachi drumming sticks provides 5 gesture parameters (3 axes of acceleration, and 2 axes of angular velocity) for each of the two sticks and transmits this data wirelessly using Bluetooth® technology. This system utilizes minimal hardware embedded in the two drumming sticks, al...

The flesh of fresh apricots when cut and exposed to the air rapidly develops a brown color due to enzymic oxidation. This phenomenon is of great importance in the freezing and freezing storage of fresh apricots and in the preparation of apricots for canning and drying. In commercial freezing the oxidizing enzymes of this fruit are controlled by treatment with dilute SO2 solution or by covering ...

The article presents the results of studies to determine compatibility scion-rootstock combinations apricot and
 peach at stage growing planting material in nursery fields by using different methods. When and field, three forms incompatibility are determined exist: localized disease, starvation root system, weak cohesion between scion rootstock.
 Initially during laboratory based test...

Current studies are either region-limited, sole-species, or have short researching periods; so, studies about various species are necessary throughout South Korea. In this study, trends of changes in the budding and flowering dates of spring plants by climate factors served to explore the process of urbanization. Four common species, such as Forsythia koreana (forsythia), Rhododendron mucronula...

iran, with a long history of apricot cultivation is one of the most important apricot producers in the world. centuries of sexual reproduction via seed, have developed many divergent variations of apricots in iran. however, unfortunately there is no comprehensive report available concerning its diversity and genetic make-up. in this study, 39 iranian apricot cultivars as well as accessions, nat...

BACKGROUND Gibberellin-regulated protein (GRP, also known as peamaclein) was recently identified as a new marker allergen related to systemic reactions in peach allergy; however, its role in other fruit allergies is unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the allergenicity of Japanese apricot (JA) GRP and clarify the clinical characteristics of JA allergy patients with GRP sensitization. METHODS ...
