drought and salinity are the most important environmental stresses that are causing adverse effects on natural ecosystems. there are species among iranian natural germplasm that are resistant to environmental harsh conditions. restoring of degraded ecosystems, promoting of biodiversity and increasing of species richness will provide by identifying of these species. almond species with broad eco...

self-incompatibility in almond and prunus species is an important genetic trait that prevents self-fertilization. self-incompatibility in almond is controlled gametophytically by the multiallelic s-locus. this study was done in order to identification and preliminary selection of self-compatible progenies resulted from controlled crosses in almond using specific primer sff-sfr.some important mo...

this study was carried out in order to determine the effects of boron and cold stress on pollen germination of almond hybrids in vitro culture, two different media including the absence and presence of boron (0 mg/l, and 100 mg/l) in 10% sucrose and 1% agar medium at 24°c in dark conditions. the results showed that different treatments had a significant effect on the germination percentage. the...

Branch/tree-level measurements of carbon (C)-acquisition provide an integration of the physical and biological processes driving the C gain of all individual leaves. Most research dealing with the interacting effects of high-irradiance environments and soil-induced water stress on the C-gain of fruit tree species has focused on leaf-level measurements. The C-gain of both sun-exposed leaves and ...

BACKGROUND Evidence consistently shows that almond consumption beneficially affects lipids and lipoproteins. Almonds, however, have not been evaluated in a controlled-feeding setting using a diet design with only a single, calorie-matched food substitution to assess their specific effects on cardiometabolic risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS In a randomized, 2-period (6 week/period), crossover...

The almond is native to Iran and surrounding countries as well Asia. In 2017, world production of almonds was 2.2 million tones, with the United States providing 46% total. According FAO Afghanistan one 10 top producers almonds. study examined growth instability area, production, export consumption in from 2000 2017. Exponential function fitted estimate compound annual rates (CAGR) almond, Cudd...

BACKGROUND Plant cell walls are known to influence the rate and extent of lipid release from plant food tissues during digestion; however, the effect of cell wall structure on postprandial lipemia is unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the effects of lipid release (bioaccessibility) on postprandial lipemia by comparing lipid encapsulated by cell walls with lipid present as fre...

AIMS To evaluate factors potentially contributing to the long-term persistence of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis phage type (PT) 30 in an almond orchard. METHODS AND RESULTS Surface and subsurface soil temperatures, and air temperatures in a radiation shelter, were recorded during a 12-month period, and were used to identify relevant storage temperatures (20 or 35 degrees C) for micr...
