To design an appropriate association study, we need to understand population structure and the structure of linkage disequilibrium within and among populations as well as in different regions of the genome in an organism. In this study, we have used a total of 98 almond accessions, from five continents located and maintained at the Centro de Investigación y Tecnología Agroalimentaria de Aragón ...

This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of boron and cold stress on pollen germination of almond hybrids in vitro culture, two different media including the absence and presence of boron (0 mg/l, and 100 mg/l) in 10% sucrose and 1% agar medium at 24°C in dark conditions. The results showed that different treatments had a significant effect on the germination percentage. The...

The study aimed to know how almonds from Pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.), a byproduct of this fruit Brazilian Cerrado, can be used improve value cereal bars. To respond question, the characterized pequi and bars with pequi, evaluate sensory acceptance. preparation enriched consisted 3 formulations: standard (0%, almond), formulation A (12.5% almond) B (25.0% almond). best results were obtain...

late spring frost usually damages flowers and reduces yield of almond trees. due to natural sexual reproduction, in most of almond orchards of qazvin province, iran, which have been established through seedling propagation, a vast genetic variation has been occurred. this situation has been provided many possibilities to study different traits of native almond genotypes, to select superior geno...

The blossoms of the almond tree are very susceptible to frost. -As the almond blooms earlier than other orchard fruits it is often subjected to much more severe frosts than occur during the blooming period of the later fruits. As a result of this tenderness of the blossoms and the early period of blooming the crop secured is materially decreased. With the hope of improving our present varietie...

Striae gravidarum (SG), or stretch marks developing during pregnancy, affect up to 90% of women. While not medically dangerous, SG can be disfiguring, causing emotional and psychological distress. However, studies specifically addressing the prevention of SG, especially during pregnancy, are sparse. Furthermore, the molecular pathogenesis of SG is unclear and may differ from that of striae from...

This paper examines the economic effects of investment in developing and introducing Almond Late Flowering Cultivars (ALFC) in a period of 52 years from 1968 to 2020, developed in Sahand Horticultural Research Station (SHRS), using the economic surplus model and field survey data. ALFC make almond supply curve move less to the left when there is a chilling case, thus affect the economic surplus...

Seasonal change of total carbohydrate contents in samples taken from leaves and stems of almond varieties was investigated. Carbohydrate contents in the leaves and stem of all varieties showed seasonal differences. The highest carbohydrate content in the leaves and stem of all varieties was found in April, and January, respectively. The lowest carbohydrate content in the leaves of Nonpareil was...

In this study, the effects of coatings made of chitosan (Chi) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) on lipid oxidation and changing color indexes of walnut kernels were investigated. Chi: pure, in accompany with TEO at concentrations of 500 and 1000 microliter per liter, in an aqueous coating solution, with different packaging methods: Gunny sack, polypropylene and active packaging, compared ...
