Previous reviews of plum phytochemical content and health benefits have concentrated on the European plum, Prunus domestica L. However, the potential bioactivity of red- and dark red-fleshed Japanese plums, Prunus salicina Lindl., so-called blood plums, appears to warrant a significant increase in exposure, as indicated in a recent review of the whole Prunus genus. Furthermore, Japanese plums a...

Production and properties of charcoal from four years old Acacia assak, A. negrii, A. seyal, A. karroo, A. ampliceps, A. stenophylla and A. salicina grown in the Experiments and Research Station, College of Agriculture, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were studied. The first three species are indigenous while the others are exotic. 21 trees were felled and disks of 20 cm each from th...

Thirteen indigenous and exotic Acacia species grown in Saudi Arabia were evaluated for their host status for Meloidogyne javanica in pot tests both in the growth chamber and under outdoor conditions. In both experiments, 21-day-old seedlings were transplanted individually into 15-cm-diam. plastic pots containing a steam-sterilized mixture of equal parts loam and sandy loam. Seedlings were inocu...

in this research the utilization of acacia wood (acacia salicina) in medium density fiber board production was investigated. sample boards were made from acacia fibers at two resin contents (10, 12%), two press temperatures (175, 185 ˚c) and three press times(3, 4, 5 min). the results were analyzed based on a complete randomized design (crd) under a factorial experiment. results revealed that i...

Carbon sequestration potential of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh and Acacia salicina Lindl planted in 1980 was studied at the age of 30 years in the elevation plain areas of Iran. Two station of this plantation in province were selected the sample plots and the diameter at breast height of all trees was measured. At least, there trees from each diameter class were randomly selected and cut and ...

The species name for the plum used in this study and listed in the title should be Prunus salicina and not Prunus domestica. The correct title is: Carbohydrate-Free Peach (Prunus persica) and Plum (Prunus salicina) Juice Affects Fecal Microbial Ecology in an Obese Animal Model. The correct citation is: Noratto GD, Garcia-Mazcorro JF, Markel M, Martino HS, Minamoto Y, et al. (2014) CarbohydrateF...
