This study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 Iranian almond species (Prunus dulcis, P. eburnea, P. eleagnifolia, P. haussknechti, and P. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. Drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...

Climate change is one of the most emergent environmental challenges, with rising global temperatures, changes in precipitation regimes, and an increased frequency intensity extreme weather events. impacts on agrarian sector are being experienced across world expected to be aggravated upcoming decades. Almond fruits highly sought after due their economic nutritional interest, which contribute sp...

The quality of the raw material and the processing conditions have a great influence on the nutritional properties of finished products. This research is focused on almond paste production and aims at developing a new production process to deliver the high nutritional content of the raw almonds into the finished product. Raw almonds are composed mainly of fats (approx. 50%) and proteins (approx...

Abstract Cover crops enhance the biodiversity of cropping systems and can support a variety useful ecosystem services, including weed suppression. In California orchards, cover are typically implemented as annual plants that replace resident vegetation in orchard alleyways during rainy winter season. Our research objective was to evaluate crop management factors competitive, weed-suppressing un...

Intensive livestock management impacts forest and trees in different ways. Pig manure is a major source of nitrogen (N) pollution surface ground waters some European regions such as north-eastern Spain, but it understudied how application agroforestry systems. How pig affects tree radial growth the N cycle was assessed by measuring concentrations soil, leaves wood δ15N tree-ring two species wid...

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’,...
