A generic descriptive analysis using 11 judges provided 16 sensory attributes that described the aroma, flavor, and texture characteristics of 7 nectarine and peach cultivars selected for their predominant sensory attributes. Simultaneously, the "in-store" acceptability of these cultivars was evaluated by 120 consumers from northern California. The relationships among instrumental measurements ...

We report here the first complete genome sequence of a South Korean isolate of Nectarine stem pitting-associated virus (NSPaV) from peach and compare it with previously described complete NSPaV genome sequences. The highest whole-genome nucleotide sequence identity was 95.3% with GenBank accession no. KT273409 (NSPaV) from the United States.

The main aim of our work was to investigate the breeding parameters in three orchard types Algeria (apple, cherry and nectarine) for better conservation existing species. A total 149 active Turtle dove nests were monitored these man–made agro-systems. Egg laying occurred from early May continued until mid-August. started later trees stopped earlier nectarines. Nest density higher apple orchards...

In Romania, Prunus species have great economic and social importance. With the introduction of new cultivars arises need to preserve characterize local germplasm. Thus, a set 24 polymorphic SSRs were selected for overall characterization, including 10 peach, 11 apricot 5 nectarine cultivars. The average number alleles per locus (Na = 1.958), in addition observed (Ho 0.299) expected heterozygosi...

in recent years, symptoms of virus diseases on stone fruits have been observed in wide range in golestan province. in order to study the important viruses on stone fruits, cherry, plum, nectarine, peach and apricot trees with symptoms such as mosaic, chlorosis, ring spot, shot hole, pale margins in leaves and dwarf in trees, sampling was done during 2005. putative infected plants were tested by...

Oxytetracycline: source and mechanisms of resistance. Oxytetracycline (Terramycin) is a naturally produced tetracycline antibiotic of Streptomyces rimosus, with a spectrum of activity similar to chlortetracycline and tetracycline and remarkable thermostability (16). In plant agriculture, oxytetracycline is used in the USA primarily on pear and apple for fire blight management. Oxytetracycline i...

damage caused by freezing can be the result of differences in cellular processes, including changes in membrane properties, interactions between macromolecular and enzymatic reactions. in this experiment, total soluble solids (tss) and relative water content of the reproductive buds of cultivars “j. h. hale”, “elberta,” “redhaven, ” “sorkh sefid mashhad” and “amsden” peaches, along with nectari...

During the study on endophytic fungi of stone fruits including apricot, peach and nectarine in W Azarbaijan (NW Iran), a large number of isolates with Alternaria characteristics were isolated from different parts of these plants and studied taxonomically. Isolation was made based on endophytic fungal isolation method and following surface sterilization procedure. From 100 different plant sample...
