Simulation modeling of perennial fruit tree growth, structure, and physiology over multiple years is particularly difficult has lagged behind other crops because trees are indeterminate organisms that grow several growing seasons, vary widely among individuals, have their structures modified by variable pruning practices. Nearly 30 yr research been devoted to developing a mechanistic, virtual m...

Abstract Aim Benzaldehyde occurs in a number of plants, especially the family Rosaceae and particular genus Prunus . In nature, there are more than 100 genera 3,000 species family. The objective this study was to investigate chemical composition leaf essential oil peach ( persica L.) cherry laurel laurocerasus as new potential source natural benzaldehyde. Methods prepared by hydrodistillation, ...

Water in dormant peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch. var. ;Harbrite') flower buds deep supercooled. Both supercooling and the freezing of water within the bud axis and primordium as distinct components depended on the viability of the bud axis tissue. The viability of the primordium was not critical. Supercooling was prevented by wounding buds with a dissecting needle, indicating that bud struct...

Small-sized peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch.) trees for commercial fruit production have not been available due to the lack of suitable dwarfing rootstocks that have a wide range of compatibility among cultivars. Effects of partial girdling and trunk heating on the growth, yield, and fruit quality of peach were studied. A 4 cm wide partial ring of bark was removed at a height of 25 cm from th...

9 Half-hour latent heat flux (LE) was measured over an early-maturing peach orchard 10 (Prunus persica L.) by two different hygrometers: 1) infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) (Li11 COR, model Li-7500); and 2) ultraviolet hygrometer (Campbell, KH20). A good 12 agreement between LE obtained with the IRGA (LEIRGA) and the KH20 (LEKH20) 13 hygrometers was observed. During rainy periods, LEIRGA and LEKH20...

Antioxidant, anti-glycation and anti-inflammatory activities of fresh and conserved peach fruits (Prunus persica L. Batsch) were compared. Fresh peach pulps, peels, preserve peach pulps and the preserve syrup were prepared at equal concentrations. Rat liver, kidney and brain cortex tissue slices were pre-incubated with peach samples, subjected to oxidative stress with FeSO4 and hydrogen peroxid...

Mapping and sequencing of the non-dormant evg mutant in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] identified six tandem-arrayed DAM (dormancy-associated MADS-box) genes as candidates for regulating growth cessation and terminal bud formation. To narrow the list of candidate genes, an attempt was made to associate bud phenology with the seasonal and environmental patterns of expression of the candidate...
