Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is one of the most important tree nut crops in Europe. Germplasm accessions are conserved ex situ repositories, located countries where hazelnut production occurs. In this work, we used ten simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers as basis to establish a core collection representative genetic diversity different European collections. A total 480 were used: 430 from co...

Hazelnut providing the macro-and micronutrients is a constituent of healthy diet. Hazelnut, one most consumed treenut, produced in different countries. The geographical origin influences chemical composition and biological activity several plant foods. purpose this study to evaluate composition, antioxidative capacity total phenolic content hazelnut kernels obtained from countries, including Az...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This study was performed to investigate the effects of different oils in the diets of laying quail on their performance, egg quality, serum lipids and fatty acid composition of egg yolk. One hundred and ninety two 12-wk old Japanese quail were allocated to eight groups with two replicates containing 12 qua...

Abstract Background Karuk and Yurok tribes in northwestern California, USA, are revitalizing the practice of cultural burning, which is use prescribed burns to enhance culturally important species. These critical livelihoods indigenous peoples, were widespread prior establishment fire exclusion policies. One major objectives burning California hazelnut ( Corylus cornuta Marsh var. californica )...

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypo...

BACKGROUND A high ratio of blank fruit in hazelnut (Corylus heterophylla Fisch) is a very common phenomenon that causes serious yield losses in northeast China. The development of blank fruit in the Corylus genus is known to be associated with embryo abortion. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for embryo abortion during the nut development stage. Genomic inform...

BACKGROUND In vitro component-resolved diagnosis of food allergy requires purified allergens that have to meet high standards of quality. These include the authentication of their conformation, which is relevant for the recognition by specific IgE antibodies from allergic patients. Therefore, highly sensitive and reliable screening methods for the analysis of proteins/allergens are required to ...
