Lignin is the main component of walnut endocarp, however, we know little about transcriptional responses and its potential regulatory mechanisms lignin formation in endocarp. Here selected two genotypes with different endocarp thickness, ‘Liaoning 7’ (L7) ‘Zanmei’ (ZM; thicker than L7), to study response mechanism that caused difference this character between them. The time regularity depositio...

Walnut, Juglans regia L. is the most economically important member of the Juglandaceae family and is the most valuable nut crop in the world. Recently, it has increased greatly in acreage and in production. Although a number of research programs about plant apomixis have been carried out around the world, few were representd by the Juglandaceae. This paper presents a brief review of the current...

The objective of performed study was aimed at evaluating the antifungal potential of four extract fractions (methanolic, ethyl acetate, alkaloid, and hydrolyzed methanolic) derived from Juglans regia (L.) leaves against pathogenic Candida albicans strains. Furthermore, total phenolics and alkaloid content as well as the antioxidative potential of examined extract fractions were determined. Test...

We investigated the composition of free amino acids in walnut (Juglans regia L.) seeds (embryo and cotyledons). We also examined xylem transport of free amino acids in young seedlings grown in the absence of external nutrients. A relatively high concentration of free alanine was found in seed tissue, whereas a relatively high concentration of citrulline was detected in young seedlings. Citrulli...

The aqueous extracts (15 micrograms ml-1 medium) of 22 plants used in folkloric medicine in Palestine were investigated for their antifungal activity and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against nine isolates of Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton violaceum. The extract of the different plant species reduced colony growth of the three dermatophytes by 36 to 1...

Objective(s): Oxidative stress has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Juglans regia L. (JRL) leaf extract has hypoglycemic and antioxidative properties. This study aimed to determine the ameliorative effects of JRL against diabetic retinopathy. Materials and Methods: The DR rat model was generated by injection of streptozotocin (STZ). A subset of the diabetic rats ...

Juglans regia, commonly known as the Walnut tree, is a type of deciduous tree. The tree has many important parts, seed, bark, husk, leaves, oil, shell fruit and kernel. plant been used in its crude form since ages. kernel holds nutritional value. leaves contain an essential oil which extracted used. husk contains steroids vitamins amongst other useful compounds. are topically antipyretic, analg...
