background and objectives: amygdalus with a number of endemic species grow vastly in iran. edible sweet almond (a. communis), is cultivated in many countries due to its pharmaceutical, nutritional and cosmetic importance; while almond oil which is rich in oleic acid is known for its economic interest. in the present study, the amount and constituents of oil of six amygdalus species including a....

In this study, the amount of flavonoid aggregates in pollen common almond (Amygdalus communis L.) plant, which is Nakhchivan MR, was analyzed. The study flavonoids can provide useful information for assessing nutritional and healing quality bee products. an extract prepared on 60% ethyl alcohol from plant. For determination flavonoids, a solution 2% aluminum chloride standard rutin were used. B...

In this study, the karyo-systematic studies on the Iranian wild almond species A .communis L., A. corduchoruom Bornm., A. trichamygdalus woronow, Amygdalus lycioides Var. horrida Spach were done by the karyological methods. The meristem cells of the root tip were used for these studies. In each species, ten suitable metaphase plates were chosen and photographed so that the morphology of the chr...

Phytochemical investigation on the Amygdalus lycioides Spach branchelets resulted in the isolation of four chiral flavanones: (2R,3R)-Taxifolin, (2R,3R)-aromadendrin, (S)-5,7,3',5'-tetrahydroxyflavanone and (S)-naringenin. The flavanones were isolated by semi-preparative HPLC, their structures elucidated based on spectroscopic data and their absolute configuration assigned. As a part of our eth...

The more than 100 almond cultivars grown in Apulia (South Italy) could be a source of genetic variation adapted to the Mediterranean environment, provided that a proper classification, identifying similar characteristics and synonymous cultivars, is made. DNA-based assays could integrate traditional classifications based on morphology. In the comparison of 17 Apulian almond cultivars, by random...

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...
