The relationship among six Jordanian almond landraces was studied using morphological traits and RAPD analyses. Across studied, nut shape, kernel size, length, shell length That showed a high level of variation (CV>30%), while width, internodes width comparatively low values (CV<20%). Principal component analysis that the first five components explained all investigated. Kernel were predo...

background and objectives: alzheimer's disease (ad) as a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. according to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta (aβ) plaques, which are mostly constituted of aβ peptide aggregates, triggers pathological cascades that lead to neuronal cell death. thus, modulation of aβ toxicity is the hopeful therapeut...

BACKGROUND Amygdalus scoparia kernel (ASK) oil is traditionally used for Hyperlipidemia. Compared to olive oil, it has higher proportion of unsaturated to saturated fatty acid besides exhibiting higher index of oxidative stability. The lipid-lowering effects of ASK oil however, has not been investigated yet. This study is the first one to evaluate such effects in patients with dyslipidemia. R...

Almonds (Prunus amygdalus) represent an important crop in most Mediterranean countries. A new and devastating disease of almond trees in Lebanon was recently reported, characterized by the development of severe witches'-brooms on which no flowers or fruits developed, and leading to tree death within a few years. A phytoplasma was detected in diseased trees by PCR amplification of rRNA operon se...

BACKGROUND The almond tree (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) is an important nut tree grown in subtropical regions that produces nutrient-rich nuts. However, a paucity of genomic information and DNA markers has restricted the development of modern breeding technologies for almond trees. RESULTS In this study, almonds were sequenced with Illumina paired-end sequencing technology to obtain transcriptom...

In order to cope with drought and water shortages, the working people in arid areas of Northwest China have developed a drought-resistant planting method, namely, gravel-sand mulching, after long-term agricultural practices. To understand effects mulching on soil evaporation, we selected Baifeng peach (Amygdalus persica L.) orchards as experimental field 2021. Based continuously collected stabl...
