We investigated the basis for fruit drop in walnut (Juglans regia L.) following bloom period applications of streptomycin as a potential control treatment for walnut blight, a bacterial disease incited by Xanthomonas campestris pv. juglandis (Pierce) Dye. Experiments were conducted on streptomycin-treated field plots of ‘Vina’ walnut. Four streptomycin treatments were applied at different times...

Opting an appropriate dietary regime has been and will be one of the simplest ways of providing health for and preventing disorders of human beings. Cardiovascular diseases-one of the most prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide-are in particular related to diet. Atherosclerosis, the most common pathogenic process of cardiovascular disease, is closely connected with food ingredien...

to study allelopathic effects of iranian walnut (juglans regia l.) on germination and initial growth of purslane (portulaca oleracea) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) an experiment was conducted in shahed university. the result showed that fresh leaf had negatively effected on radicle length. also, with increasing extract concentrations of persian walnut, the seed germination and se...

walnut is one of the important products in kerman province and baft town is the main area of ‎walnut orchards. so the technical, allocative and economical efficiency of walnut farmers computed ‎assign the degree of farmer’s success in the optimum allocation of their resources. at first the ‎proper production function was estimated, and then stochastic frontier production and technical, ‎efficie...

The influence of pH of walnut oil emulsions on droplet morphology, droplet size distribution, time and temperature stability, and rheological properties has been studied. It has been found that walnut oil based emulsions form a metastable gel-like microstructure at steady conditions revealed by a linear viscoelastic response at low deformations. Flow curves of investigated emulsions demonstrate...

This study was done to investigate the interaction effect of the mixture of each pair of traditional medicinal plants including: Sage (Salvia officinalis), Hawthorn (Crataegusoxyacantha), Walnut Leaf (Juglansregia L.), Red Cabbage (Brassica oleracea), and Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis) on the antioxidant activities and free radical scavenging by using DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhy...

The primary goal of the Walnut Improvement Program, which was initiated in 1982 as a cooperative effort between USDA-ARS and U.C. Davis, is to develop germplasm with increased resistance or tolerance to the two major diseases limiting commercial production of Persian walnuts. These are the blackline and the Phytophthora root and crown rot diseases. Also under the auspices of this program are th...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a tree with significant economic value and usage for human health and various food industries. However, fresh walnut kernels are a less widespread product than the dried kernels. This study aimed to determine the fresh walnut kernel properties including, fatty acid composition, proximate composition, total phenolics (TPs), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), acidic, p...
