Seed’s dormancy is considered as one of the effective factors in seeds germination and consequently in the growth of seeds of many plant species. Shortening the dormancy period and enhancing the germination percentage in fruit types could be a valuable strategy for the seed researchers and plant nurseries. In this research the seeds of mature fruits of different almond cultivars including late-...

Almond oil is used in many cosmetic products as a snack, in confectionery (marzipan, "turrón", nougat), food products (almond milk, ice cream, chocolate), culinary recipes and also cosmetic base. For surveying the effects of almond genotype and growing location on oil percentage of oil seed content and fatty acid of almond, seeds of 6 almond cultivars: Ferragnes, Tuono, Azar, Sahand, Nonpareil ...

in fruit trees damage of frost and freezing is depended to time of chillhng and tree phonological stage. almond (prunus amygdalus b. (and apricot (p. armeniaca l.) cultivars are usually the first fruit trees to bloom and susceptible to damaging frosts in the early spring. a study was conducted on different types of almond and apricot cultivars in order to investigation the main factors related ...

Self-incompatibility is one of the most important difficulties in almond production which reduce fruit set dramatically and makes orchard management difficult. Therefore, breeding almond to produce self-compatible genotypes is very important. In this research identification and screening of 86 almond progenies obtained from selfing Touno after the self-pollination by PCR reaction with specific ...

abstract almond is an important nut tree which is cultivated in many mediterranean countries. this study was carried out to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics and their correlation in some self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent). quantitat...

in study was conducted in two separate experiments in 2011-2013 in seeds and plant improvement institute. in the first experiment, status growth scion and resistance to spring late frost and content proline in 10 genotypes and cultivar almond, grafted on gf677 rootstock included touno, non pariel, shokofeh, sahand, mamayi, shahrood 12, a200, 1-25, 1-16 and 13-40 with 10 replication as a complet...

self-incompatibility is one of the most important difficulties in almond production which reduce fruit set dramatically.therefore, breeding almond to produce self-compatible genotypes is very important. in this research, pollen tube growth was studied in 28 genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent) after self pollination by fluorescent microsco...

the types of scion-rootstock compound and level of salinity affect on growth characteristics and concentration of nutrition elements of almond leaves and roots. in order to evaluate the effect of salinity stress on vegetative traits and concentration of nutrition elements of leaves and roots almond genotypes, a experiment was carried out with two factors; cultivar in four levels including ‘shah...
