Walnut (Juglans regia) populations are considered a valuable genetic resource for variability conservation and walnut cultivar improvement. In the current study, two selections from Central Greece, “FM3” “FM6”, were evaluated their characteristics to determine perspective as new cultivars. Their main phenological pomological assessed according IPGR (1994) UPOV-TG/125/6 (1999) criteria 10 consec...

Our food contains macro and micro components that are necessary for us to maintain our lives. In particular, it is mandatory get the vitamins minerals vital functions. Turkey has an enormous diversity of products due both geographical climatic conditions. One these walnut grown in almost all regions Turkey. Vitamin, mineral fatty acid composition varies depending on climate conditions such as t...

Hybrid aluminum composites obtained with stir casting were investigated in this study. Aluminum alloy EN AW 6061 was reinforced particles of Al2O3 and walnut-shell ash (WSA). The weight fraction constant (5 w/%) for the ash, it (1, 2 3) w/%. morphology particle distribution examined an optical microscope scanning electron microscope. Microstructural studies showed a uniform all samples. A chemi...

SCOPE English walnut (Juglans regia) belongs to the most important allergenic tree nuts. Co-sensitization with birch (Betula verrucosa) pollen has been reported. We aimed to identify a walnut allergen homologous to the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1. METHODS AND RESULTS A cDNA encoding a Bet v 1-homologous allergen (Jug r 5) in walnut kernels was cloned by RT-PCR. Jug r 5 was expressed i...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a well-known member of the Juglandaceae family and its kernel is widely consumed around the world for both unique nutritional characteristics and health-related benefits. Even though several studies investigated the composition and biological activities of different parts of the walnut tree, the internal septum of the walnut kernel is less evaluated. In the...

Morphological quality of black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) seedlings largely dictates their capacity to establish well in plantations and their performance potential for use as rootstocks in grafting. Larger seedlings and rootstocks, attained from propagation at relatively low nursery sowing densities, have comparatively more expansive root systems for exploitation of soil resources and greater n...

most of walnut production in iran comes from seed originated trees with low quality and quantity as product. for breeding new cultivar(s), from 1983 selection of iranian walnut germplasm was started at seed and plant improvement institute and at the first phase 117 genotypes were collected. seedlings of these genotypes were planted in kamalshahr (karaj), torogh, kahriz and bastam horticultural ...
