BACKGROUND Almond processing has been shown to differentially impact metabolizable energy; however, the effect of food form on the gastrointestinal microbiota is under-investigated. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the interrelationship of almond consumption and processing on the gastrointestinal microbiota. DESIGN A controlled-feeding, randomized, five-period, crossover study with washouts bet...

the types of scion-rootstock compound and level of salinity affect on growth characteristics and concentration of nutrition elements of almond leaves and roots. in order to evaluate the effect of salinity stress on vegetative traits and concentration of nutrition elements of leaves and roots almond genotypes, a experiment was carried out with two factors; cultivar in four levels including ‘shah...

scion-rootstock combination and level of salinity affect growth characteristics and concentration of nutrition elements of almond leaves and roots. in this research, effects of salinity stress were investigated on growth characteristics and nutrient concentration of almond leaves and roots by completely randomized design (crd), with two factors, genotype and water salinity with three replicatio...

In the present study, chemical composition and in situ rumen dry matter degradability (DMD) of some tree species (cherry, apricot and almond tree leaves) were determined. Crude protein (CP) concentration varied from 6.76% for almond tree to 2.76% for cherry tree, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), from 29.2, 20.8% for apricot tree to 20.8 and 15.8% for almond tree lea...

Drought stress is the most important factor limiting successful production of agricultural crops worldwide. The response some almond cultivars grafted on GF677 rootstock was studied to drought at a research greenhouse in Horticultural Science Research Institute Karaj, Iran, 2016-2017 growing season. plant materials included 12 (Prunus dulcis Mill.) genotypes/cultivars, including ‘Sh10’, ‘Saba’,...

Almond is considered the most common and essential nut grown in rainfed area. It has many species wildly distributed Iraqi Kurdistan region, which are called Chaqala by local people. To understand improve characteristics of cultivated almonds, a comprehensive study wild almonds terms population structure genetic diversity needed to transfer new traits into domesticated almonds. So, twelve diffe...

introduction: almond (prunus amygdalus b.) is one of the most important crops consumed as a dry fruit and it is mainly adaptable to arid and semi-arid regions mostly suffering from salinity stress (8). soils with dry humidity regime are dominant in iran and in the world at large and mostly include regions with more evaporation than precipitation. this in turn leads to increased salinity of the ...

Background: Almonds are extremely rich sources of lipids and flavonoids, and their consumption is associated with several health benefits. However, there are no analytical methods available to document compliance with prescribed or self-reported chronic almond consumption. Objective: The aim was to use an analytical approach that identifies metabolic profiles associated with long-term almond co...
