California hazelnuts (Corylus cornuta var. californica) are abundant in the archaeological record of site CA-SMA-113 in Quiroste Valley Cultural Preserve, and hazel management on the Central Coast was recorded in late 18th century Spanish accounts. However, this species is currently absent from Quiroste Valley proper and rare in the watershed, though it is locally common elsewhere in the Santa ...

By-products of the agri-food sector are increasingly employed in production new organic preparations, with biofertilizer and biostimulating functions, thus reducing consumption non-renewable resources turning chains towards circular economy sustainability. Two composts were produced solid digestate (85%) as a common component different sources recyclable materials (15%): vine pruning wood (comp...

Abstract Filbertone, the principal flavor compound of hazelnuts, is known to have preventive effects against hypothalamic inflammation, obesity and adipocity in vitro vivo. However, effect filbertone skeletal muscle remains unknown. In present study, we determined mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD). To identify underlying molecular cellular processes filbertone, performed whole transcriptome sequen...

Kernel size is the main hazelnut quality parameter for consumption market. However, industrial purposes are destination cultivars. This work aims to identify aptitude relationships kernel size, and qualitative nut traits eligible enhance hazelnut’s commercial value. The of cv “Negret” “Pauetet” were assessed via in-shell shelled sizes two years. In-shell hazelnuts tested weight, shape, percent ...

Abstract Urban wildlife faces a great variety of human-induced habitat alterations, among others changes in resource availability and composition, often resulting serious declines biodiversity. Nevertheless, Eurasian red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) occur high densities urban areas seem to benefit from supplementary feeding. However, we still lack knowledge about consequences urbanisation on ma...

Botrytis cinerea, a pathogenic fungus that causes necrosis in plants, is one of the most destructive pathogens hazelnuts. This responsible for causing Husk Brown Rot, significant threat to hazelnut production. The plant’s defense mechanism against this pathogen, as well other pathogens, complex biological process involves changes at molecular, biochemical, and physiological levels. To better un...
