Understanding species-specific responses to climate change allows a better assessment of the possible impact global warming on forest growth. We studied shrub species Corylus avellana L., maxima Mill. and intermediate forms, together stated as taxa, Cornus sanguinea L. upon periodically elevated temperatures in spring and/or summer–autumn. Experiments were performed common garden, with Belgian ...

Acrylamide is a carcinogenic and neurotoxic compound defined as heat treatment process contaminant. Due to its health concern, acrylamide formation needed be minimized. The objective of this study examine how much contained in dried almonds (Prunus dulcis), hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), pistachios (Pistacia vera), peanuts (Arachishypogaea), sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) well pumpkin (Cucu...

Antioksidanlar insan vücudunda biriken serbest radikalleri temizleyerek, vücudun çeşitli hastalıklardan korunmasını sağlayan önemli yapılardır. Vücutta enzim, hormon ve protein olarak birçok antioksidan mevcuttur. Bunların dışında doğal besinde bulunan vitaminler, tanenler, fenolik asitler, flavonoidler gibi çok sayıda madde de vardır. Fındık içeren besinlerin başında gelmektedir. Ülkemizde bol...

Dormancy of hazel (Corylus avellana L.) seeds is alleviated by a chilling treatment during which cytological, hormonal, and biochemical changes occur. Phytic acid and phosphate mobilization have been examined during this treatment. Phytic acid accounted for 0.7% and up to 3.2% of dry weight in axiferous and cotyledonary tissue, respectively. Phytic acid levels in embryonic axes were reduced by ...

Adventitious root formation in plant cuttings is influenced by many endogenous and environmental factors. Leaf photosynthesis during rooting of leafy cuttings in hard to root species can contribute to supply carbohydrates to the intensive metabolic processes related to adventious root formation. Light intensity during rooting is artificially kept low to decrease potential cutting desiccation, b...
