Objective: Oxidative stress and ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation are known as principal inducers of DNA damage and modulators of gene expression in aging process and skin photoaging, which are associated with upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Because of the antioxidant capacity of jujube and green tea, we decided to determine their protective effects of human fib...

In this study, dark chocolate was enriched with white tea (WT) and jujube extracts in form of free extract microcapsules. Each two added to concentrations 1, 3, 5, 7% w/w. The microcapsules were produced using pectin/casein (10% w/w), their particle size distribution (PSD) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis performed. Phenolic content, antioxidant activity, pH, moisture color par...

The aim of present research was the effect of short-term use of edible solution of jujube one week before a single session of circuit resistance exercise on neutrophil apoptosis of male students of physical education. 14 young male volunteer students were divided into two groups of placebo (n=7, aged 24.50±2.50, height 171.17±1.70, and weight 67.51±4.92) and jujube solution...

Background & Aim: Fruits from the jujube plant (Ziziphus jujuba) possess health-promoting effects and medicinal properties. Jujube has a long history of usage as a remedy in Iranian traditional medicine and is recommended for the treatment of some diseases. This study investigated the variations in antioxidant capacities (AOX), total phenol (TPH), total flavonoid (TF) ...

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit is an important medicinal plant in Iran. The harvesting time is a crucial for jujube fruit quality. Several characteristics of jujube fruit when harvested at four development stages; white mature (light green), crisp mature (white-red), fully mature (red) and fully ripe (dehydrated brown) were evaluated. Fruit weight, diameter, volume, pulp to stone ratio, f...

Jujube production is threatened by jujube witches’ broom (JWB) disease, which caused JWB phytoplasma. The TCP transcription factor (TF) ZjTCP16 may be involved in the interaction of plants with In this study, qRT-PCR proved that expression pattern was altered gene functions were analyzed its overexpression Arabidopsis and jujube, as well knock-down in. resulted dwarfism small leaves, while zjtc...

Loess Plateau is a typical rain-fed farming region, facing the threat of drought. Irrigation method is among the most important factors affecting jujube quality. This study investigated the response of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Lizao quality to three different irrigation methods (drip-, pipe- and surge spring root irrigation) combining two water levels (20 m(3)/hm(2) and 120 m(3)/hm(2)). The ef...

The research on brand construction of agricultural products is gradually rising. This paper takes the regional public Taigu Huping Jujube as object, based theory innovation diffusion, explores diffusion characteristics Jujube, and proves that they are compatible. From perspective communicator, receiver, communication channel decision-making, problems existing in dissemination jujube discovered....

jujube (ziziphus jujuba mill.) is a valuable medicinal plant which is important in iranian traditional medicines. although the regional plants such as jujube play an important role in our economy, but they are forgotten in research and technology. considering the economic and medicinal importance of jujube, the first step in breeding programs is determination of the genetic diversity among the ...
