Abstract:

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 genotypes, SS genotype had the highest kernel weight (7.03 g), and fruits weight (12.65 g), and RM3 had the best kernel percentage 63.73%. The walnut genotypes were clustered into three groups using UPGMA cluster method. This preliminary study demonstrated that quantitative and qualitative characteristics were effective in evaluating the genetic diversity of walnut genotypes.

Genetic Diversity Evaluation of Some Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Genotypes in Meshkin-Shahr by ISSR Marker

Genetic resources are the most valuable national treasure of countries, being vital to identify, conserve and use them. The Persian Walnut (Juglans regiaL.), a diploid species native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia, is the major walnut species cultivated for nut production and one of the most widespread tree nut species in the world. This research was conducted in M...

Xenia and Metaxenia in Persian Walnut (Juglans regia L.)

 In 2007 and 2008, the influence of pollen source on the shell and kernel traits of resulting seeds and on fruit set was examined to evaluate the potential for Xenia or Metaxenia in Persian walnut. Pistillate flowers of ‘Jamal’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Hartley’ and ‘Pedro’ were crossed with the pollen of ‘Serr’, ‘Z60’ and ‘Damavand’. The pistillate flowers on each female parent were covered about one week...

Some Nutritional Characteristics of Fruit and Oil of Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Growing in Turkey

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) were evaluated for some physical properties and chemical composition. Ripe fruits were determined for moisture (2.71 %), crude protein (14.6 %) crude fibre (1.8%) ash (1.57%), crude energy (576Cal) ether soluble extract (24.71%), nut (10.5g) and kernel (5.09g) veights. Relative density, refractive index...

Lipid analysis of Greek walnut oil (Juglans regia L.).

The walnut oil (Juglans regia L.) total lipids (TL) were extracted by the Bligh-Dyer method and the lipid classes have been isolated by chromatographic techniques and they were analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC)/FID and GC-MS. The oil was found to be rich in neutral lipids (96.9% of total lipids) and low in polar lipids (3.1% of total lipids). The neutral lipid fract...

Open the Windows toward Somatic Embryogenesis of Leaf Explants of Persian Walnut (Juglans regia L.)

Leaves from in vitro proliferating shoots of cvs. Chandler and Hartley of Persian walnut were cultured on MS and NN media supplemented with BA and NAA. Three light conditions including darkness, low light intensity and modified light intensity were used. Most of the calli were friable and non-embryonic in all three conditions. Rate of callogenesis depended on cultivar, culture medium, light con...
