Jujube is a characteristic light-demanding fruit tree, but quality frequently degraded because of the weak light in protected cultivation facilities south China. In this study, black shade net was used to set three intensities artificially: no shading (0%, control, NS), moderate (45%, MS), and severe (76%, SS) investigate effect low on sugar metabolism jujube. Compared with NS, chlorophyll caro...

Jujube is a crop very resistant to drought and salinity, making it an interesting growing alternative in southeastern Spain. The characteristics of five different cultivars the jujube fruit have been evaluated classified into four maturation stages according color peel, ranging from green its most immature stage, white, yellow, red last, more mature stage. This due part amount carotenoids chlor...

Jujuba (Ziziphus jujuba) has a long history of usage as fruit and remedy. The main biologically active components are vitamin C, phenolics, flavonoids, triterpenic acids, polysaccharides. Many phytochemical studies jujuba fruits indicate that Z. important biological effects, such the anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, immunostimulant, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective gast...

Antioxidant activity of water extracts from Ziziphus jujuba fruits and Hydrangea paniculata leaves, maintained in a refrigerator, was determined by the potassium permanganate method. The results presented in this paper indicate that the fruit extracts from Ziziphus jujuba had higher antioxidant activity than Hydrangea paniculata leaf extracts and that both fermentation processes had a strong ef...

Aflatoxins (AF), a group of closely related, extremely toxic mycotoxins, produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus can occur as natural contaminants of foods and feeds. Aflatoxins have been shown to be hepatotoxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic to different animal species. Zizyphus spina-christi L. extract was investigated for its antifungal and antimicrobial activities. The ...

Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an economically important deciduous tree that has high therapeutic value and health benefits. However, a lack of sequence data and molecular markers have constrained genetic and breeding studies for better fruit quality and other traits in Chinese jujube. In this study, two combined cDNA libraries of 'Dongzao' fruit representing the early and late stage...
