Self-incompatibility in almond and Prunus species is an important trait that prevents self-fertilization. Selfincompatibility in almond is controlled gametophytically by the multiallelic S-locus. Present study was done in order to identification and preliminary selection of self compatible progenies resulted from controlled crosses in almond using specific primer SfF/SfR. Some important morphol...

UNLABELLED The objectives of this study were to measure sensory texture attributes of 5 types of almonds (blanched slivered, natural sliced, whole blanched, whole dry roasted, and natural whole) conditioned at 4 different moisture levels, to measure liking of a subset of these products, and to compare the sensory texture measurements with consumer liking ratings. Thirteen panelists trained to e...

The cultivated almond displays a gametophytic self-incompatibility system, which avoids self-fertilization, and it is controlled by multi-allelic locus (S-locus) containing two genes specifically expressed in pistil (S-RNase) pollen (SFB). Studies on almonds with the same S-haplotype but different phenotype pointed to existence of unknown components this system explain its functioning. increase...

self-incompatibility is one of the main problems in almond production. in this research work, at the first step, some local cultivars as well as some imported ones were evaluated from the point of their male and female organ compatibility. then, ten selected commercial self-incompatible cultivars(female parents) were crossed with two self-compatible cultivars(male parents) i. e. tuono and super...

BACKGROUND Almonds contain considerable amounts of potential prebiotic components, and the roasting process may alter these components. The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro fermentation properties and in vivo prebiotic effect of raw and roasted almonds. RESULTS In vitro, predigested raw and roasted almonds promoted the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14) and Bifidobacteri...

Introduction: Nuts contain numerous beneficial nutritive and bioactive compounds like fatty acids, dietary fibbers, micronutrients, and phytochemicals that have shown favourable lipid-altering activity. Aim: To study the effects of nut (Pistachio or Almonds) consumption on lipid profiles of hypercholesterolemic rats. Materials and Methods: One hundred and eighty (180) adult male Sprague-Dawley ...
