A graft-transmissible disease of cherry trees herein referred to as mottle leaf is known to have existed in different sections of the Pacific Northwest for the last several years. In 1917 D. F. Fisher photographed ^ cherry leaf specimens collected near Monitor, Wash., which exhibited symptoms similar to mottle leaf. Zeller (8) * reported having observed the disease in 1920 on Napoleon (Royal An...

Sweet cherry is an important fruit crop with increasing economical value in Turkey and the world. A number of viruses cause diseases and economical losses in sweet cherry. Prune dwarf virus (PDV), is one of the most common viruses of stone fruits including sweet cherry in the world. In this study, PDV was detected from 316 of 521 sweet cherry samples collected from 142 orchards in 10 districts ...

this study was conducted with the main purpose of investigating genetic variation among 13 selected sweetcherry (prunus avium cv. siah mashhad) genotypes, i.e., the most important iranian sweet cherry cultivars based on their pomological, morphological, and phonological characteristics. the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at khorasan-e-razav...

Sweet cherry is a tall, deciduous tree producing stone fruits. This diploid outcrossing species was domesticated in Asia but has been grown in orchards and home gardens in Scandinavia for many years. In situ and ex situ assessments of phenotypic variation in sweet cherry accessions were performed to determine the reliability of such assessments, and to determine relationships between Nordic pop...

Thermotherapy and chemotherapy in vitro were applied to eliminate Apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV) and Prunus necrotic ring spot virus (PNRSV) from myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera var. divaricata Borgh.), PNRSV from ‘Empress’ plum (Prunus domestica L.) and Prune dwarf virus (PDV) from ‘Early Rivers’ sweet cherry (Cerasus avium (L.) Moench.) plants. ELISA assays conducted one year after ther...

Basidiomycota (basidiomycetes) make up 32% of the described fungi and include most wood-decaying species, as well as pathogens and mutualistic symbionts. Wood-decaying basidiomycetes have typically been classified as either white rot or brown rot, based on the ability (in white rot only) to degrade lignin along with cellulose and hemicellulose. Prior genomic comparisons suggested that the two d...

Selected soluble sugars and organic acids were analyzed in strawberry, sweet cherry, and mulberry fruits at different ripening stages by HPLC. The amounts of fructose, glucose and sucrose were found to be: strawberry (1.79-2.86, 1.79-2.25 and 0.01-0.25 g/100 g FW), sweet cherry (0.76-2.35, 0.22-3.39 and 0.03-0.13 g/100 g) and mulberry (3.07-9.41, 1.53-4.95 and 0.01-0.25 g/100 g) at un-ripened t...
