Hazelnuts were investigated for the presence of antioxidant compounds other than tocopherol. Hazelnuts from 2 regions were extracted with methanol:water (2:1 ; v/v). Extracts were subjected to either acid or alkaline hydrolysis but neither improved the separation quality during high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Nonhydrolyzed extracts of hazelnut had greater antioxidant activi...

During the last decade, European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) has been threatened by several bacterial and fungal infections. In particular, at least four different Pseudomonas species have developed capability to converge into same host. However, one of these species, avellanae, may infect other hosts as well. Here, we newly provide complete genome sequence two avellanae strains obtained a comb...

BACKGROUND A high ratio of blank fruit in hazelnut (Corylus heterophylla Fisch) is a very common phenomenon that causes serious yield losses in northeast China. The development of blank fruit in the Corylus genus is known to be associated with embryo abortion. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for embryo abortion during the nut development stage. Genomic inform...

Our aim with this paper is to provide insight into the landscape dynamics of Cantabrian region (northern Iberian Peninsula) from Last Glacial Period present. We present a multiproxy approach performed in sedimentary record La Molina peat bog, located at 484 m a. s. l. Puente Viesgo, Cantabria (Latitude: 43.26° N; Longitude: 3.97° W), that covers last c. 17,550 years. Analyses were on organic ma...
