RNA-Seq has proven to be a very powerful tool in the analysis of the Plum pox virus (PPV, sharka disease)/Prunus interaction. This technique is an important complementary tool to other means of studying genomics. In this work an analysis of gene expression of resistance/susceptibility to PPV in apricot is performed. RNA-Seq has been applied to analyse the gene expression changes induced by PPV ...

apricot ( armeniaca vulgaris l.) is a popular and an economically profitable fruit of the temperate zone. various apricot genotypes grow in different areas in iran. the genetic diversity of 30 cultivars and genotypes of iranian apricot and as well, of two foreign cultivars (as control) was studied through morphological attributes and rapd markers. in a first experiment, 21 quantitative and qual...

prunus armeniaca l. (apricot) is a tree cultivated in different parts of the world. apricot kernel as a good dietary supplement has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other pharmacologic properties which suggest that it may be functional as an anticolitis agent. in this study we evaluated the effects of apricot kernel extract and oil on ulcerative colitis in rats. rats were fasted for 36 ...

This work describes, for the first time, the changes taking place in the antioxidative system of the leaf apoplast in response to plum pox virus (PPV) in different Prunus species showing different susceptibilities to PPV. The presence of p-hydroxymercuribenzoic acid (pHMB)-sensitive ascorbate peroxidase (APX) (class I APX) and pHMB-insensitive APX (class III APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), pe...

A novel MATLAB/Simulink based modeling and simulation environment for the design and rapid prototyping of state-of-the-art aircraft control systems is proposed. The toolbox, named APRICOT, is able to simulate the longitudinal and laterodirectional dynamics of an aircraft separately, as well as the complete 6 degrees of freedom dynamics. All details of the dynamics can be easily customized in th...

Abstrac: This study was carried out to investigate the effect sodium benzoate on apple and apricot blend juice. The samples were; apple juice (T ), apricot juice (T ), 75% apple and 25% apricot juice (T ), 50% apple and 50% 1 2 3 apricot (T ), 25% apple and 75% apricot juice (T ). From (T ) to (T ) above concentrations were repeated with 4 5 6 10 0.01% sodium benzoate as preservative. The sampl...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been established as core components of several post-transcriptional gene regulation mechanisms. Experimental techniques such as cross-linking and co-immunoprecipitation have enabled the identification of RBPs, RNA-binding domains (RBDs) and their regulatory roles in the eukaryotic species such as human and yeast in large-scale. In contrast, our knowledge of the ...

This study investigated ovule and anther structure of the `Trevatt Blue' variety of apricot (Prunus armeniaca) using bright field microscopy following reports of low fruit set. Ovules and anthers from fertile `Moorpark' and `Trevatt Knight' flowers were compared with those of the `Trevatt Blue'. In the `Moorpark' and `Trevatt Knight' ovules, all reproductive structures were present including em...

Micro- and macro-element contents of several commercial fruit juices purchased from marked were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy. Among the minor elements determined, Zn, Cu, Mn, Mo, Co, Cd and Ni were found to be lover. Major mineral contents of fruit juices were established as Ca, K, Mg and P. The potassium contents of fruit juices were determined at the h...

Cell wall polysaccharides play an important role in postharvest fruit texture softening. Effects of calcium treatment combined with cold storage on the physical properties, polysaccharide content and nanostructure of apricots were investigated. Apricots were immersed in distilled water, 1% or 3% w/v calcium chloride, then stored at 5°C or 10°C. Storage at 5°C significantly improved apricot qual...
