Prunus L. is a genus belongs to deciduous, evergreen trees and shrubs native the temperate regions of Northern Hemisphere, with around 343 species worldwide. Hooker discovered 19 in India, ranging altitude from 760 4000 metres. Many wild fruits are high vitamins minerals, local residents gather them their natural habitats meet daily nutritional needs. Jam, jelly, alcoholic beverages, fruit juic...

background and objectives: prunus domestica (plum) has been considered as a useful remedy for several disorders in iranian traditional medicine (itm). it has cold and wet temperament and is used as syrup for hot temperament diseases such as hot headache and stomach disorders. in the present study, plum syrup has been formulated according to itm manuscripts and quality control evaluations have b...

Plums (Prunus spp) are among the most important stone fruit crops in the world. European (Prunus domestica) and Japanese (Prunus salicina) plums are characterized by different levels of ploidy. Because genetic variability is the prerequisite for any plant-breeding program, we aimed to establish the taxonomic status of Tunisian plums and study their genetic variability. The nuclear DNA content o...

The genus Phaeoacremonium is associated with opportunistic human infections, as well as stunted growth and die-back of various woody hosts, especially grapevines. In this study, Phaeoacremonium species were isolated from necrotic woody tissue of Prunus spp. (plum, peach, nectarine and apricot) from different stone fruit growing areas in South Africa. Morphological and cultural characteristics a...

Abstract In the present work, numerous species of useful and wild plants were identified in archaeobotanical samples (moat deposit two ceramic jugs) collected from mediaeval locality Kolno Castle, near Brzeg, south-western Poland. At confluence rivers, vicinity castle, it was possible to cultivate cereals on poor alluvial soil, ground with a layer ferruginous concretions. The characteristic wee...

The northern regions of Russia are characterized by a relatively poor composition the cultural dendroflora, that due to harsh climatic conditions. To create resistant varieties, it is necessary attract local highly winter-resistant forms and on their. their basis obtain hybrids with foreign species new samples Prunus padus L. better ornamental characteristic crossing them.

Xanthomonas arboricola is a plant-associated bacterial species that causes diseases on several plant hosts. One of the most virulent pathovars within this species is X. arboricola pv. pruni (Xap), the causal agent of bacterial spot disease of stone fruit trees and almond. Recently, a non-virulent Xap-look-a-like strain isolated from Prunus was characterized and its genome compared to pathogenic...

Hybridization has played a central role in the evolutionary history of domesticated plants. Notably, several breeding programs relying on gene introgression from the wild compartment have been performed in fruit tree species within the genus Prunus but few studies investigated spontaneous gene flow among wild and domesticated Prunus species. Consequently, a comprehensive understanding of geneti...
