Late spring frosts can become one of the limiting factors for expansion cultivation area towards a harsher climate almond [Prunus amygdalus Batsch syn P. dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] crop as frost damage up to 90% harvest. In order identify key genes favoring cold tolerance in almonds, branches from three late-blooming genotypes: ‘Guara’, ‘Soleta’ and ‘Belona’ were exposed at −4 °C during 24 h con...

The implementation of new planting systems in almond (Prunus amygdalus (L.) Batsch, syn P. dulcis (Mill.)) orchards for more sustainable practices has made tree architecture increasingly relevant as an important selection trait plant breeding. Multiple features define the three-dimensional structure tree, with shoot production being most important. Shoots can develop after a period rest (prolep...

Activated carbon was prepared from agricultural waste “almond (Prunus amygdalus) nut shells” by chemical activation with phosphoric acid as an activating agent at 450 C for 24 hr soaking time. The physical and chemical properties were analyzed. The adsorption of chromium VI from aqueous solution on almond nut shell activated carbon (ASAC) was investigated. The adsorption process parameters pH, ...

The draft genome sequences of two strains of Xanthomonas arboricola, isolated from asymptomatic peach trees in Spain, are reported here. These strains are avirulent and do not belong to the same phylogroup as X. arboricola pv. pruni, a causal agent of bacterial spot disease of stone fruits and almonds.

Advancing conservation agriculture depends on understanding nutrient dynamics of organic matter amendments (OMA) no-till soil. This field incubation study compared surface-applied composted dairy manure (CM), green waste compost (GWC) and an unamended control from March to September in 2015 2016 using a RCBD California almond (Prunus dulcis) orchard. Measurements included OMA release rates, cha...

Background and aims: Since cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the most common cause of morbidity mortality in world, this systematic review aimed to investigate effectiveness mechanism aromatherapy on hemodynamic parameters patients with CVDs. Methods: This was performed accordance PRISMA guidelines. Using relevant keywords, an extensive search done 1.30.2022 important databases including Scopu...
