Olive agro-ecosystems in southern Italy have been heavily damaged due to Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp). Replacing the Xfp-infected olive-growing areas with economically viable fruit tree species is thought be a practical control measure. A land suitability analysis can provide an appropriate evaluation of crop’s these areas. We evaluate almond (Prunus dulcis B.), fig (Ficus carica L.), ...

The allergenicity of hazelnuts treated with different proteolytic enzymes was examined and compared by SDS-PAGE / immunoblotting and EASTinhibition experiments using sera of 16 hazelnut allergic individuals. 30 min treatment with the enzymes protease, elastase and trypsin eliminated the allergenicity of the hazelnut proteins, which can be shown by means of immunoblotting experiments. EASTinhibi...

A chlorophyll deficiency expressed as yellowing of leaves was observed in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) progenies. Segregation ratios approximated 3 green : 1 yellow, indicating control by a single recessive gene designated chlorophyll deficient #1, for which the symbol c, is proposed. ‘Barcelona’, ‘Butler’, ‘Compton’, ‘Lansing’, Willamette’, and the ornamental selection ‘Redleaf #3’ are heter...

the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on growth and physiological characteristics of seedlings corylus avellana were determined in a forest nursery. for this purpose, in a completely randomized design (crd) and four replicates, three putative bacteria, including pseudomonas putida, bacillus subtilis and enterobacter cloacae, as alone and mixed, were examined. the greatest h...
