Analysis of genetic structure and differentiation using 12 microsatellite loci of six walnut populations, three each from the Greater Caucasus and the Talysh, revealed a moderate range of variation. The observed number of alleles ranged from 2 to 11 alleles with a mean of 5.6 alleles per locus. The populations differed significantly for the frequency and composition of alleles for ten out of tw...

The incorporation of trees on traditional agricultural land has the potential for providing beneficial conditions understory crops by altering microclimate. Under these assumptions, we conducted a study maize productivity intercropped in 14-year-old walnut orchard measuring growth and yield parameters, water nutrient uptake. Overall, found that decreased maximum air temperature increased humidi...

Doogh is a popular dairy product in Iran owing to its beneficial influence on human health and nutritional value. The aim of this study was to evaluate aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in 225 commercial doogh samples composed of traditional (115 samples) and industrial pasteurized doogh (110 samples) obtained from popular markets of Tehran, Iran. The occurrence and concentration range of AFM1 ...

iran is a major world producer of walnuts and a hub of walnut exports to other countries. walnut harvesting and cracking is still done manually, which increases price and waste. design and development of an effective harvester and walnut crusher is required to reduce costs and wastage. this study determined the mechanical properties of a test apparatus employing two flat jaws using different tr...

The black walnut, Junglas nigra, is indigenous to eastern North America, and abscission of its fruit occurs around October. The fruit consists of a husk, a hard shell, and kernel. The husk is commonly discarded in processing, though it contains phenolic compounds that exhibit antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. For this study, black walnut husks were extracted using supercritical carbon d...
