Double stranded RNAs from Prunus samples gathered from various surveys were analyzed by a deep-sequencing approach. Contig annotations revealed the presence of a potential new viral species in an Azerbaijani almond tree (Prunus amygdalus) and its genome sequence was completed. Its genomic organization is similar to that of the recently described Apricot vein clearing associated virus (AVCaV) fo...

Almond (Prunus dulcis) and Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) both are the edible dry fruits, belong to families "Rosaceae" "Fabaceae" respectively. There number of studies have reported biological activities fruit but a very little data is available on shells. Shells extracts possess antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, anticancer due presence bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids,...

This study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 Iranian almond species (Prunus dulcis, P. eburnea, P. eleagnifolia, P. haussknechti, and P. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. Drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...

Climate change is one of the most emergent environmental challenges, with rising global temperatures, changes in precipitation regimes, and an increased frequency intensity extreme weather events. impacts on agrarian sector are being experienced across world expected to be aggravated upcoming decades. Almond fruits highly sought after due their economic nutritional interest, which contribute sp...

The quality of the raw material and the processing conditions have a great influence on the nutritional properties of finished products. This research is focused on almond paste production and aims at developing a new production process to deliver the high nutritional content of the raw almonds into the finished product. Raw almonds are composed mainly of fats (approx. 50%) and proteins (approx...

Intensive livestock management impacts forest and trees in different ways. Pig manure is a major source of nitrogen (N) pollution surface ground waters some European regions such as north-eastern Spain, but it understudied how application agroforestry systems. How pig affects tree radial growth the N cycle was assessed by measuring concentrations soil, leaves wood δ15N tree-ring two species wid...
