Abstract Almond shell hardness is an economically important quality trait that protects the integrity of kernel. It directly related with shelling or crack-out percent. In U.S. and Australian markets, soft to semi-hard shells varieties have been used in industry, while European market, hard are dominantly sold distributed. The origin a from wild almond species. Soft USA Australia selected for h...

Soils play a major role in the global carbon cycle and are crucial to management of climate change. Changes plant cover derived from different agricultural practices induce variations quality residue inputs soil microbial community structure activity, which may enhance storage protection organic (OC) nitrogen (N) within aggregates. The aim this study was assess how differences chemical composit...

Approximately, 10% of the world population is facing challenge food allergy in direct or indirect way. In this study, a genome-wide identification and annotation novel putative allergen from almond performed. Initially, whole proteome (31,000 proteins) was scanned by Allergenonline, publically available database already reported allergens different sources. The detailed analysis suggests that t...

Two trials involving 20 Prunus rootstocks were conducted under greenhouse conditions to screen for resistance to root-knot nematode [Meloidogyne javanica (Treub.) Chitwood]. Many of the tested materials are interspecific hybrid rootstocks and represent new commercial peach (P. persica Batsch) and plum (Prunus sp.) releases or experimental genotypes of Spanish, French, and Italian origin. In the...

to evaluate morphological and biochemical changes of almond (prunus dulcis mill.) under salt stress conditions and determine relationship among accumulation of na and cl with these traits, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with four treatments including 0 (control), 25, 50 and 75 mm of pure sodium chloride and three replications from 2010 to 2012. the seed of hea...
