BACKGROUND A short-term study was carried out using guinea pigs to determine the effects of Curcuma domestica on lipid composition in the serum and aorta. METHODS Animals were given food pellets containing 4% (w/w) powdered rhizome of C. domestica in order to determine its effect on cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid levels in the aorta and serum. The animals were fed either a cholest...

Studying the susceptibility of peach trees to Grapholita molesta (Busck) is one of the major steps in the development of pest-resistant peach varieties. This work evaluated the susceptibility of 55 genotypes of the "Prunus Rootstock Collection" ("Coleção Porta-enxerto de Prunus") of Embrapa Temperate Climate (Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) to the natural infestation of G. molesta, assessed...

At Krymsk Experiment Breeding Station of VIR, as a result collecting, studying, and selective use myrobalan plum genetic diversity, the intraspecific taxonomy species Prunus cerasifera Ehrh. was clarified. Donors traits significant for breeding were identified and, with their use, adaptable cultivars plum, Russian clonal rootstocks stone fruit plants developed. Intraspecific classification P. i...

The nutritional value of the peeled and unpeeled fruit (peel plus flesh tissues) was studied using four peach (Prunus persica L.; Red Heaven, Maria Blanca, Big Top, Queen Giant), two pear (Pyrus communis Santa Maria, Pyrus pyrifolia N.; Nashi), three apple (Malus domestica Borkh.; Gala, Granny Smith, Chief) cultivars. Based on principal components analysis (PCA) models, there a clear differenti...
