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...

japanese plum (prunus salicina lindl.) having originated from china, is now one of the important fruit trees in many countries in the world. knowledge of genetic diversity among existing germplasms provides the possibility of parental selection in breeding improvement programs. for assessment of genetic diversity and relationship among genotypes in iran (ramsar, velyan karaj and mashhad) and fo...

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...

The fruit of the plum tree (Prunus salicina Lindl.) has been used as a traditional medicinal food in humans to enhance immunity against infectious agents and to treat cancers. However, limited information exists on the mechanisms responsible for its immune enhancing properties. In this study, the immunostimulatory effects of a methanol extract of plum fruit following methanol evaporation and di...

Plum is a globally grown stone fruit and can be divided into several species. In particular, the Prunus salicina, which is native to China, is widely grown in many fruit orchards in Korea and Japan, as well as the United States and Australia. The transcriptome data for Prunus salicina has not been reported to our knowledge. In this study, we performed de novo transcriptome assembly for two sele...

Plums (Prunus spp) are among the most important stone fruit crops in the world. European (Prunus domestica) and Japanese (Prunus salicina) plums are characterized by different levels of ploidy. Because genetic variability is the prerequisite for any plant-breeding program, we aimed to establish the taxonomic status of Tunisian plums and study their genetic variability. The nuclear DNA content o...

Abstract The paper considers the possibilities of expanding assortment plum cultivars in world production by hybridising large-fruited myrobalan ( Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) with those Japanese salicina Lindl.) and other diploid stone fruit species. Because many years breeding work Russia, a new hybridogenous species × rossica Erem. (Russian plum) have been created, which can ensure stable supply...

Prunus (Rosaceae) includes many commercially important fruit crop species that exhibit self-incompatibility (SI), including sweet cherry (P. avium L.), Japanese apricot mume Sieb. et Zucc.), plum salicina Lindl.), armeniaca and almond dulcis [Mill.] D. A. Webb.). These S-ribonuclease-based gametophytic SI, which prevents self-pollen tube growth in the pistil. The successful production of self-f...
