Transcription factors play vital roles in the developmental processes of plants. The SQUAMOSA promoter binding protein (SBP) genes encode a family of plant-specific transcription factors and plays many crucial roles in plant development. In this study, 16 SBP-box gene family members were identified in Ziziphus jujuba Mill. Dongzao (Dongzao), which were distributed over 8 chromosomes. They were ...

Mineral profile of tree leaves from eight local species (Acacia modesta, Albezia lebbeck, Capparis aphyla, Prosopes Juliflora, Tecoma undulata, Olea cuspidate, Ziziphus mauritiana and Ziziphus jujuba) was evaluated for feeding to sheep and goats. Leave samples were collected from three different locations (Surgul, Shakardara and Gumbat) in Kohat district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan province...

The cellular antioxidant enzymes play the important role of protecting the cells and organisms from the oxidative damage. Natural antioxidants contained in fruits have attracted considerable interest because of their presumed safety and potential nutritional value. Even though antioxidant activities of many fruits have been reported, the effects of phytochemicals contained in fruits on the indu...

This study was carried out to evaluate the morphological and pomological diversity of 18 different jujube genotypes that are border trees or grown for hobby purposes in Dinar District Afyonkarahisar Province. For measurements, fruits were harvested when peel color less than 50% brown-red healthy leaf samples taken measurement same period. According results research, length, width, fruit weight,...

Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba), a medicinal and edible plant, is widely consumed in Asian countries owing to the remarkable health activities of its fruits. To facilitate selection of the suitable processing method for jujube fruits, in this study their contents of triterpenic acids, nucleosides, nucleobases and saccharides after drying and steaming treatment were determined using ultra-high ...

Thirteen fatty acids were identified from the pulps of four Tunisian Ziziphus jujuba ecotypes (Sfax, Choutrana, Mahres and Mahdia), using capillary gaseous chromatography method. These oils presented 8.31% to 12.35% of dry weights. Compared to the other ecotypes, Mahres and Choutrana were the richest of the oleic acid. The palmitic acid was the most important compound of the Sfax ecotype. Unsat...
