The acyclic polyol sorbitol is a primary photosynthetic product and the principal photosynthetic transport substance in many economically important members of the family Rosaceace (e.g. almond [Prunus dulcis (P. Mill.) D.A. Webber], apple [Malus pumila P. Mill.], cherry [Prunus spp.], peach [Prunus persica L. Batsch], and pear [Pyrus communis]). To understand key steps in long-distance transpor...

A number of studies have focused on the capacity of urban trees and shrubs to serve as efficient biological filters to mitigate air pollution. In this study, five different tree species were assessed for this function. Kerria japonica, Sophora japonica, Philadelphus pekinensis, Gleditsia sinensis, and Prunus persica 'Atropurpurea' were tested in a deposition chamber using (NH4)2SO4 particles. W...

The phytotoxicity activity of EtOAc extract obtained from Agaricus litoralis showed high on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) leaves. A well-known phytotoxic metabolite: tyrosol [2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-ethanol], was isolated and identified A. by spectroscopic methods. Phytotoxic tested seven agrarian plants: eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), fig (Ficus carica apricot (Prunus armeniaca peach persi...

The cultivated/domesticated peach (Prunus persica var. persica; Rosaceae, subgenus Amygdalus; synonym: Amygdalus persica) originated in China, but its wild ancestor, as well as where, when, and under what circumstances the peach was domesticated, is poorly known. Five populations of archaeological peach stones recovered from Zhejiang Province, China, document peach use and evolution beginning c...

This study was carried out with the aim of determining differences, similarities and variations in terms some physical chemical properties including 13 quantitative characters between 38 peach genotypes pre-selected from two native populations called as “Zeferan” “Ağşeftali” standard cultivars Aras Valley. Principal component (PCA) cluster analysis were performed for this purpose. PCA showed fi...

A facilidade de propagação vegetativa por estacas herbáceas é uma das características almejadas no trabalho seleção porta-enxertos Prunus spp. melhor adaptados às condições edafoclimáticas do Rio Grande Sul. O objetivo presente foi avaliar a viabilidade técnica da 17 seleções pessegueiro [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] sob câmara nebulização intermitente, adotando-se três cultivares como referênci...
