This study aimed to determine the effects of addition almond hull corn silage on quality, fermentation properties and in vitro organic matter digestion (IVOMD). While without additives constituted control group study, silages with added at levels 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% 2.5% formed experimental groups.The caused an increase IVOMD metabolizable energy (ME) values compared group. For all groups, metha...

Abstract Almond shell hardness is an economically important quality trait that protects the integrity of kernel. It directly related with shelling or crack-out percent. In U.S. and Australian markets, soft to semi-hard shells varieties have been used in industry, while European market, hard are dominantly sold distributed. The origin a from wild almond species. Soft USA Australia selected for h...

to evaluate morphological markers linked with drought stress resistance for screening almond genotypes in the breeding programs the effect of drought stress was studied on six nominated almond genotypes seedlings. the six pre-selected water stress mimposed almond genotypes included: homozygote sweet (butte from university of california), heterozygote sweet (shahrood12, shahrood18, shahrood21 an...

abstract salinity tolerance is one of the major factor influencing crop productivity in arid and semi-arid areas. the salinity tolerance of fruit trees can be enhanced through the use of tolerant rootstocks. this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salinity stress and rootstock on the growth, photosynthetic rate and nutrient concentrations of almond (prunus dulcis miller.) cv...

The cultivated almond displays a gametophytic self-incompatibility system, which avoids self-fertilization, and it is controlled by multi-allelic locus (S-locus) containing two genes specifically expressed in pistil (S-RNase) pollen (SFB). Studies on almonds with the same S-haplotype but different phenotype pointed to existence of unknown components this system explain its functioning. increase...

Olive agro-ecosystems in southern Italy have been heavily damaged due to Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp). Replacing the Xfp-infected olive-growing areas with economically viable fruit tree species is thought be a practical control measure. A land suitability analysis can provide an appropriate evaluation of crop’s these areas. We evaluate almond (Prunus dulcis B.), fig (Ficus carica L.), ...
