This study investigated ovule and anther structure of the `Trevatt Blue' variety of apricot (Prunus armeniaca) using bright field microscopy following reports of low fruit set. Ovules and anthers from fertile `Moorpark' and `Trevatt Knight' flowers were compared with those of the `Trevatt Blue'. In the `Moorpark' and `Trevatt Knight' ovules, all reproductive structures were present including em...

Prunus armeniaca L. (Apricot) is a tree cultivated in different parts of the world. Apricot kernel as a good dietary supplement has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other pharmacologic properties which suggest that it may be functional as an anticolitis agent. In this study we evaluated the effects of apricot kernel extract and oil on ulcerative colitis in rats. Rats were fasted for 36 ...

the distribution of phytophthora parsiana a high-temperature tolerant newly described species was studied in southern iran and examined its host range in woody perennial plant species in greenhouse condition under high inoculum potential. among different plant species examined, almonds were highly susceptible by different isolates. from 24 woody plants inoculated, the disease severity in descen...

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca) osmotic drying set of tests was conducted under controlled condition in laboratory. Current mean values of samples moisture content were obtained by measurement equipment and were used as data base for further statistical analysis. ANOVA statistical analysis proved that solution temperature and concentration are infl uential factors of osmotic drying. Empirical equati...

The isoelectric points of isolated cuticles from Citrus aurantium L. (3.15), Prunus armeniaca L. (3.45), and Pyrus communis L. (2.90) leaves were determined from membrane potentials. At pH values below the isoelectric point, cuticular membranes carry a net positive charge and are permselective to anions (determined using (82)Br(-)). Above the isoelectric point, they carry a net negative charge ...
