Effects of water deficits on leaf turgor maintenance processes were analyzed for pear trees (Pyrus communis L. cv. "Barlett") grown in 120-liter containers. Four irrigation treatments were applied: a well-watered control treatment, a spring water stress cycle (Sp), a summer water stress cycle (Su), and a spring plus summer water stress cycle (Sp + Su). For the Sp treatment, water application wa...

Background & Aims: The topical anesthetic effects of diphenhydramine combined with ingredients such as aluminum and magnesium hydroxide have been used for many years in modern medicine. Due to the limited durability of anesthetic mouthwashes due to saliva secretion and the spreading use of herbal and natural medicines in pharmacotherapy, this study was designed to formulate diphenhydramine in t...

Pear (Pyrus spp.) is one of the most important edible fruits belonging to family Rosaceae. DNA markers, molecular genetics and genomics, breeding pear have greatly progressed over last few decades. The development reliable such as simple sequence repeats single nucleotide polymorphisms, has allowed profiling accessions, assessment genetic diversity within species, analyses phylogenetic relation...

In times of worsening civilization diseases the interest in natural healing substances is on the increase. To reduce unwanted side effects of many synthetic drugs, it is reasonable to introduce to the daily diet foods rich in natural compounds of plant origin that are beneficial for health. The purpose of the study was to determine the biological activity and stability of selected ethanol extra...

A two-year (2020-21) study was conducted to investigate the possibility of relying ten-years old pear trees grown on sandy loam soil irrigated by drip citric acid (CA), gibberellic (GA3) and humic (HA). The CA applied at concentrations 500, 1000 1500 ppm, GA3 50, 100 150 ppm HA 3, 4 5%, whereas water spray used as control. results our proved that CA, improved shoot length, thickness, leaf area ...

The fungal genus Venturia Sacc. (anamorph Fusicladium Bonord.) includes plant pathogens that cause substantial economic damage to fruit crops worldwide. Although Venturia inaequalis is considered a model species in plant pathology, other Venturia spp. also cause scab on other fruit trees. Relative to the substantial research that has been conducted on V. inaequalis and apple scab, little resear...

In 2018, 23.2 Mt of pears were produced in the world across 1.3 million hectares (ha) cultivated land. This review analyzes different training systems and management styles that have been adopted worldwide, emphasizing European pear’s economic environmental sustainability for Mediterranean area cultivation. Despite a reduced number cultivars utilized around world, pear presents plethora innovat...
