The capacity of apomixis to generate maternal clones through seed reproduction has made it a useful characteristic for the fixation of heterosis in plant breeding. It has been observed that apomixis displays pronounced intra- and interspecific diversification, but the genetic mechanisms underlying this diversification remains elusive, obstructing the exploitation of this phenomenon in practical...

Pecan nut oil is conventionally obtained by mechanical extraction characterized a low yield (OEY) compared to solvent extraction. Pulsed electric fields (PEF) have been employed as pretreatment enhance OEY from several oilseeds, but no studies found regarding tree oil. Hence, PEF was applied at different specific energy inputs (0.5–17.6 kJ kg−1) evaluate its impact on OEY, acidity, and antioxid...

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar el efecto del empleo nuez pecana, fibra trigo y carne bovina obtenida toretes engordados bajo un sistema silvopastoril intensivo (SSPi), sobre las propiedades fisicoquímicas, microbiológicas sensoriales hamburguesas. Mediante diseño mezclas se obtuvo la mejor formulación hamburguesa empleando como variables independientes los porcentajes tradicional...

The fundamental cause of alternate bearing in pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] is unknown, but is closely linked to the size of the dormant season carbohydrate pool. Nut yields (over a period of up to 78 years) were evaluated, for 66 cultivars, in regards to alternate bearing intensity (I). Best-fit regression analysis indicates no association between I and fruit ripening date (FR...

The changes in the body with aging are various. They can be avoided by judicious use of the knowledge of Aha Vihara and Carya described in the Ayurvedic texts alongwith certain yogic practices with are minutely discussed here.

disturbance was ice storms, which generally resulted in suppression of radial growth in pines and increased radial growth in oaks. Additionally, pulses of understory establishment coincided with major ice storms. The lack of understory disturbance such as fire may be allowing the establishment of shade tolerant understory species while limiting the establishment of pine and oak. Canopy disturba...
