The objective of this research was to identify and characterize the encoded peptides present in nut storage proteins of Carya illinoinensis. It was found, through in silico prediction, proteomic analysis, and MS spectrometry, that bioactive peptides were mainly found in albumin and glutelin fractions. Glutelin was the major fraction with ~53% of the nut storage proteins containing at least 21 p...

Hickory (Carya cathayensis Sarg.), an important nut-producing species in Southeastern China, has high economic value, but so far there has been no cultivar bred under species although it is mostly propagated by seeding and some elite individuals have been found. It has been found recently that this species has a certain rate of apomixis and poor knowledge of its genetic background has influence...

Los azúcares totales solubles (ATS) son carbohidratos imprescindibles para el crecimiento, metabolismo y en mecanismos de supervivencia ante estrés a que se enfrentan especies caducifolias. El objetivo fue cuantificar los AST Carya illinoinensis ‘Western’ diferentes órganos etapas fenológicas, conocer comportamiento dichas reservas clave del crecimiento. Las muestras fueron obtenidas árboles du...

The effect of Steinernema riobrave and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora on population density of Mesocriconema xenoplax in peach was studied in the greenhouse. Twenty-one days after adding 112 M. xenoplax adults and juveniles/1,500 cm(3) soil to the soil surface of each pot, 50 infective juveniles/cm(2) soil surface of either S. riobrave or H. bacteriophora were applied. Another entomopathogenic n...

To reveal the physiological and biochemical mechanism underlying graft union formation in pecan (Carya illinoinensis), dynamic changes content of nutrients, tannin, phytohormones together with key enzyme activities were investigated 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 18, 22, 31, 40 d after grafting (DAG), homograft unions. During formation, peroxidase (POD) activity increased at 7 - 10 DAG compared that 0 DAG...

Abstract Hickories (Carya Nutt.) include multiple stately, native trees that offer ornamental features and site adaptability. Immense interest exists in effectively producing these trees, however, due to their lag-phase shoot growth strong development of a taproot with minimal fibrous-root branching, exhibit resistance standard growing techniques are purportedly difficult transplant successfull...

Abstract Pecan trees require adequate soil moisture conditions to produce nuts with good yield and quality. Irrigation should be an important considered practice in orchards management plan, mainly regions water deficit periods. The objective of this research was evaluate irrigation on pecan growth yield. This study conducted Uruguay, during the fast development phase until harvest. Three treat...
