Grafting on epicotyl of young seedlings has been introduced as a simple and rapid method for walnut propagation. Although this technique improves the grafting success and propagation efficiency, it is technically more demanding than the conventional walnut grafting procedures and is yet to be optimized. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of rootstock type (dwarf and standard geno...

Since we first devised and defined password-capabilities as a new technique for building capability-based operating systems, a number of research systems around the world have used them as the bases for a variety of operating systems. Our original Password-Capability System was implemented on custom built hardware with a novel address translation and protection scheme specifically designed to s...

Molecular and physiological studies in walnut (Juglans regia) are combined to establish the putative role of leaf plasma membrane aquaporins in the response of leaf hydraulic conductance (K(leaf)) to irradiance. The effects of light and temperature on K(leaf) are described. Under dark conditions, K(leaf) was low, but increased by 400% upon exposure to light. In contrast to dark conditions, K(le...

In this study, composition, structure and the functional properties of protein concentrate (WPC) and protein isolate (WPI) produced from defatted walnut flour (DFWF) were investigated. The results showed that the composition and structure of walnut protein concentrate (WPC) and walnut protein isolate (WPI) were significantly different. The molecular weight distribution of WPI was uniform and th...

The tannin fractions isolated from hazelnuts, walnuts and almonds were characterised by colorimetric assays and by an SE-HPLC technique. The complexation of Cu(II) and Zn(II) was determined by the reaction with tetramethylmurexide, whereas for Fe(II), ferrozine was employed. The walnut tannins exhibited a significantly weaker reaction with the vanillin/HCl reagent than hazelnut and almond tanni...

The enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds into highly reactive quinones. Polymerization of PPO-derived quinones causes the postharvest browning of cut or bruised fruit, but the native physiological functions of PPOs in undamaged, intact plant cells are not well understood. Walnut (Juglans regia) produces a rich array of phenolic compounds and possesses a ...

this study was carried out to investigate the important characteristics in some cultivars/genotypes of persianwalnut (juglans regia l.), black walnut (j. nigra l.), and walnut inter-specific hybrids: paradox (j. hindsii × j.regia) and royal (j. hindsii × j. nigra) in kamalshahr research station in karaj in 2011-2012. in the study,vegetative vigor was evaluated based on trunk cross-sectional are...

walnut is an important nut crop worldwide. iran is one of the walnut centers of diversity and cultivation. morphological traits and rapd primers were applied to determine genetic diversity among 31 iranian and four foreign walnut genotypes. from 14 rapd primers, 180 bands were amplified among which 174 were polymorphic. the lowest and highest similarity coefficients were 0.37 and 0.89 respectiv...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary levels of walnut leaves powder and vitamin e supplementation on blood antioxidant status, production performance and egg quality characteristics in commercial laying hens. a total number of 216 leghorn hy-line w-36 (70 week old) strain laying hens used the completely randomized design were divided into 6 groups with 3 replic...

______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Information on soil and leaf nutrient concentrations for black walnut are of value only when they are properly sampled, accurately analyzed, and the results correctly interpreted. Guidelines for interpreting soil and leaf analyses and leaf symptoms are presented along with recommendations for correcting nut...
