A polar gibberellin active in the dwarf rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedling and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) half-seed assays was extracted from immature sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) seed and identified as gibberellin A(32) by gas-liquid chromatography and selected ion monitoring.

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the color stability of resin composit using different finishing systems and drinks. MATERIALS AND METHODS Composit disks (5 mm diameter, 2 mm thickness) were prepared for each nanofilled composite using a brass mold. The specimens were divided into 5 finishing system groups Mylar strip (Mylar, DuPont, Wilmington, Del., USA), Soft Lex (3M(™) ESPE(™...

The environment pollution with heavy metals is due mainly to the activity of humans. High quantities of these metals can be toxic for all organisms. The entry of heavy metals from the polluted environment in fruits and plants is influenced by different factors and stopped through several mechanisms. Their presence can have effects on different physiological processes: photosynthesis, respiratio...

In the recent years many studies on anthocyanins have revealed their strong antioxidant activity and their possible use as chemotherapeutics. The finding that sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L) (also called tart cherries) contain high levels of anthocyanins that possess strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties has attracted much attention to this species. Here we report the preliminary...

Content of total phenols and total anthocyanins was estimated in edible fruits from Bosnia by photometric methods. Cyanidin-3-galactoside chloride was used as a standard for determination of total anthocyanins, and galic acid served as a standard for determination of total phenols. Total content of phenols was 12.7 mg/g in elderberry fruits, 10.4 mg/g in bilberry, 9.8 mg/g in blackberry, 8.8 mg...

in this study, a feasible green method for the synthesis of copper oxide nanocrystalline is described by using sour cherry juice which has a significant effect on crystalline size, and morphology. the benefits of the green method, not only nanometer scale are formed but also low-cost method are obtained in a normal atmosphere which it has been used (ch3coo)2cu.h2o individually as cu sources. al...

This study ascertained whether a proprietary tart cherry juice blend (CherryPharm, Inc., Geneva, NY, USA) associated with anecdotal reports of sleep enhancement improves subjective reports of insomnia compared to a placebo beverage. The pilot study used a randomized, double-blind, crossover design where each participant received both treatment and placebo for 2 weeks with an intervening 2-week ...

A partial linkage map was constructed for the sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivar Emperor Francis from a population of 56 microspore-derived callus culture individuals. The callus cultures were genotyped for two allozymes and 90 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers using 79 random decanucleotide DNA primers and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Eighty-nine markers mapped to 10...
