Kestane (Castanea sativa Mill.), Türkiye’de ve tüm dünyada meyvesi, çiçekleri, yaprakları kerestesi için yetiştirilen ticari öneme sahip meyve türlerinden biridir. İstanbul Beykoz’da doğal olarak yetişen yoğun kestane popülasyonu bulunmaktadır. İlçede Dereseki bölgesinin ormanlık alanlarında çok sayıda genotip Bu çalışmada, Beykoz bölgesinde bulunan kestanelerinin agromorfolojik özellikleri bel...

In this study, to reproduce natural chestnut genotypes, the fruit characteristics of Düzce region determined by local people are good in a healthy way, compatible with Marigoule (C. sativa × C. crenata) hybrid varieties resistant branch cancer and root rot was investigated. 24 different genotypes were used. As grafting method, most commonly used tongue grafting, split chip budding side method A...

The phenolic contents of eight in-vitro-cultivated chestnut clones (Castanea sativa Mill. and C. sativa x C. crenata Siebold & Zucc. hybrids) were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The aim of the work was to identify potential phenolic markers of: (i) juvenile or mature state; (ii) topophysical origin; and (iii) rooting capacity. A condensed tannin was detected in mature material ...

The exposure to ultraviolet radiations (UVR) is the key source of skin sunburn; it may produce harmful entities, reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to aging. The skin can be treated and protected from the injurious effects of ROS by using various pharmaceutical formulations, such as cream. Cream can be loaded with antioxidants to quench ROS leading to photo-protective effects. Moreover, mod...

The aim of this study was to evaluate for the first time anti-inflammatory effects chestnut (Castanea sativa) and Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus occidentalis) honeys collected in Italy on murine RAW 264.7 macrophages stressed with bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Pre-treatment two markedly decreased apoptosis stimulated wound healing LPS, where they also reduced intracellular levels ROS ni...

While populations of the Asian chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu), an invasive pest affecting European (Castanea sativa Miller), have started to be controlled biologically, this still conditions tree development. With aim assessing plant health status as a means monitoring infestation, we used field spectroradiometer collect data from leaves taken 83 trees in two orchards. We ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent papers indicated that epigenetic control is involved in transitions in bud dormancy, purportedly controlling gene expression. The present study aimed to identify genes that are differentially expressed in dormant and non-dormant Castanea sativa buds. METHODS Two suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA libraries were constructed to characterize the transcriptomes ...
