This study sought to evaluate the potential of mulched gravel release nutrients in field by conducting trials with three variations wet-and-dry cycling soil beneath mulch and bare soil. The results revealed that quartz, muscovite, clinochlore, albite were most abundant minerals gravels. Throughout whole cycle, total content 30 elements measured gravel-mulched was higher than treatment, element ...

The traceability system is regarded as an effective method to ensure safety quality for farm products by many countries all over the world. Although this system is common for a range of farm products, few reports for red jujube are available nowadays. Our study focuses on constructing a traceability system in terms of information technology in order to implement quality tracing for red jujube p...

Laimaphalenchus hyrcanus n. sp., from bark samples of cypress (Cupressus sp.) and jujube (Ziziphus jujube Miller) from Gorgan, Golestan province in northern Iran, is described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular characters. The new species is characterized by females with 670-870 μm body length, slender stylet of 11-12 µm, six-lobed cephalic region not divided by ribs, three in...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in responding to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants. Jujube witches'-broom a phytoplasma disease of Ziziphus jujuba is prevalent in China and is a serious problem to the industry. However, the molecular mechanism of the disease is poorly understood. In this study, genome-wide identification and analysis of microRNAs in response to witches'-broom was ...

In order to explore the feasibility of mineral element analysis on origin red jujube, and screen effective indicators distinguish 34 samples jujube were collected from Xinjiang, Hebei, Shanxi Gansu provinces China. The contents Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, B, Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Mo, Ba, Tl, Ge, Zr, Li, Rb, Cs, La, Ce Nd in determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer ...

Jujube planting in Xinjiang, China began 1985, and then entered the rapid development stage of planting. By 2012, Xinjiang became main jujube producing area China. Due to its geographical advantage, is high quality has become another agricultural product with Chinese characteristics. However, production declined since 2013.Although China’s still expanding, price been affected by a significant d...

Abstract Jujube witches' broom (JWB) phytoplasmas parasitize the sieve tubes of diseased phloem and cause an excessive proliferation axillary shoots from dormant lateral buds to favour their transmission. In previous research, two JWB effectors, SJP1 SJP2, were identified induce bud outgrowth by disrupting ZjBRC1-mediated auxin flux. However, pathogenesis disease remains largely unknown. Here, ...
