The Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) is one of the most valuable resources in Iran because of its multi benefits. The present study was conducted in Meshkin-Shahr in Ardabil province to investigate the important quantitative and qualitative characteristics of 31 walnut genotypes. Classification of genotypes was analyzed using the cluster method. The results showed that among selected walnut ge...

Kazakhstan has very rich walnut genetic resources; however there is no ongoing walnut breeding program. Kazakhstan government has several projects in cooperation with Russia, USA, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Poland for plant breeding purposes. In the present research walnut genetic resources originated from Jabağıl, Tulkıbas, Sayram, Lenger, and Botanical Garden of International Hodja Ahmet Ye...

the first step in walnut breeding programs is to identify and evaluate superior genotypes of fruit trees. hence, there are various walnut breeding programs in various areas of iran. a study aimed to evaluate the morphological and chemical characteristics of selected superior genotypes of walnut was conducted in the shahroud region in 2011-2012.  the following genotypes were selected in this stu...

walnut is an important nut crop worldwide. iran is one of the walnut centers of diversity and cultivation. morphological traits and rapd primers were applied to determine genetic diversity among 31 iranian and four foreign walnut genotypes. from 14 rapd primers, 180 bands were amplified among which 174 were polymorphic. the lowest and highest similarity coefficients were 0.37 and 0.89 respectiv...

the initial step in any breeding program including the breeding of walnut is an evaluation of the genetic diversity of its population and on identification of its superior and promising genotypes. this research was carried out during 2009-2010 growing seasons to evaluate the walnut genotypes, population grown in the vicinities of eghlid city, as one of the richest walnut population regions in t...

Late spring frost is one of the most important factors causing loss of production of the Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.). Therefore, the selection of spring frost tolerant genotypes has been among the most important priorities in the breeding programs during the recent years in Horticultural Science Research Institute, Karaj-Iran.  After the spring frost in 2010, five superior genotypes (B10,...

the persian walnut (juglans regia l.) is one of the most important horticultural crops grown in iran. this research was conducted to determine the variation in walnut germplasm grown in the arak region of iran during the 2007-2008 growing seasons. all of the selected genotypes originated from seed, and their phenological and pomological characteristics were evaluated. results indicated that the...

this study was carried out to investigate the important characteristics in some cultivars/genotypes of persianwalnut (juglans regia l.), black walnut (j. nigra l.), and walnut inter-specific hybrids: paradox (j. hindsii × j.regia) and royal (j. hindsii × j. nigra) in kamalshahr research station in karaj in 2011-2012. in the study,vegetative vigor was evaluated based on trunk cross-sectional are...

dehulling is an important step in walnut processing that has considerable effect on the quality, chemical and microbial properties of walnuts. improving dehulling can increase the quality of the final product. this research studied the effect of genotype and hulling method on walnut properties. one experiment was performed as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replicat...
