Wood vinegar, a by-product of wood pyrolysis, is mostly discarded. vinegar has phytotoxic effect and could be potentially used as naturally derived herbicide for weed control. The objective this research was to evaluate the efficacy from pyrolysis apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) tree branch wastes control weeds. concentrations required inhibit 50% motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca L.), redroot pig...

Fire blight, caused by epiphytotic gram-negative bacteria Erwinia amylovora, is the most destructive bacterial disease of apple (Malus spp.). Genetic mechanisms fire blight resistance have mainly been studied using traditional biparental quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping approaches. Here, we use large-scale historic shoot and blossom data collected over multiple years genotyping-by-sequenci...

We used historical and contemporary survey data to assess the dynamics in two old-growth forests at Savage Mountain, Maryland, versus secondary from surrounding landscape of northern Allegheny Mountain Plateau (AMP). This is first published compilation witness trees western Maryland. The on are presently dominated by mixed oak (Quercus spp. L.; 42%), red maple (Acer rubrum L.), black birch (Bet...

Context: Cardiovascular disorders are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, especially in people with diabetes. Due to synthetic drugs’ adverse effects, new medicines needed. Evidence Acquisition: Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) is one the oldest medical systems. In this article, we first introduce list cardiotonic medicinal plants based on ITM. Then review cardio-related eff...

MN55 is an apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.) cultivar recently released by the University of Minnesota breeding program, with fruit marketed in U.S. as Rave ® . When stored for 4 months at 0 to °C, can develop several storage disorders, including skin dimpling. Skin dimpling incidence was greater harvested 1 week later than those earlier.
