Prunus L. is a genus belongs to deciduous, evergreen trees and shrubs native the temperate regions of Northern Hemisphere, with around 343 species worldwide. Hooker discovered 19 in India, ranging altitude from 760 4000 metres. Many wild fruits are high vitamins minerals, local residents gather them their natural habitats meet daily nutritional needs. Jam, jelly, alcoholic beverages, fruit juic...

Late spring frosts can become one of the limiting factors for expansion cultivation area towards a harsher climate almond [Prunus amygdalus Batsch syn P. dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] crop as frost damage up to 90% harvest. In order identify key genes favoring cold tolerance in almonds, branches from three late-blooming genotypes: ‘Guara’, ‘Soleta’ and ‘Belona’ were exposed at −4 °C during 24 h con...

The implementation of new planting systems in almond (Prunus amygdalus (L.) Batsch, syn P. dulcis (Mill.)) orchards for more sustainable practices has made tree architecture increasingly relevant as an important selection trait plant breeding. Multiple features define the three-dimensional structure tree, with shoot production being most important. Shoots can develop after a period rest (prolep...

One of the suggested approaches to mitigate chronic groundwater depletion in California is agricultural managed aquifer recharge (Ag-MAR), which farmland flooded using excess surface water order underlying aquifer. Successful implementation Ag-MAR projects requires careful estimation soil aeration status, as prolonged saturated conditions rhizosphere can damage crops due O2 deficiency. We studi...

Noninfectious bud-failure (BF) remains a major threat to almond production in California, particularly with the recent rapid expansion of acreage and as more intensive cultural practices and modern cultivars are adopted. BF has been shown to be inherited in both vegetative and sexual progeny, with exhibition related to the age and propagation history of scion clonal sources. These characteristi...
