A severe outbreak of European Stone Fruit Yellows (ESFY) has been reported recently in apricot (Prunus armeniaca) orchards located in the province of Trento (Italy), where partial or total tree dieback caused major economic losses to growers. In order to prevent the disease spreading, the presence of ESFYP-vector, the psyllid Cacopsylla pruni, was monitored together with wild reservoirs of the ...

apricot (prunus armeniaca l.) is a species particularly prone to erratic fruit set, and its flower bud drop has been repeatedly reported in different cultivars and growing conditions. a number of potential causes have been explored, but a clear main cause remains elusive. in this study, fruit set was determined for 11 apricot cultivars (‘precoce de tyrinthe’, ‘feriana’, ‘beliana’, ‘priana’, ‘be...

Sulfur dioxide and other so-called sulfiting agents as additives in foods and drugs may cause severe allergic reactions in susceptible individuals, especially asthmatics. The most widely used chemical preservatives, they have become a subject of increasing concern since 1976. The issue was recently brought to national attention by a CBS "60 Minutes" report on sulfite sensitivity aired twice in ...

The Tilia genus (linden, lime) comprises about 30 deciduous tree species native to North America, Europe, and Asia. They are often used along roads in parks because of their aesthetic value urban landscapes. During surveys 2017–2018 Istanbul, Turkey, typical viral disease symptoms such as foliar mosaics, mottling chlorotic ringspots, deformations were observed on spp. (Figs. 1-3). Forty-six lea...

The isolation concept used in ConTracts is a powerful means to express the isolation needs of workflow processes. It was built to allow processes to release access restrictions on shared objects as soon as possible without violating their correctness. Therefore a new correctness criterion has been introduced which allows parallelism far beyond serializability. Furthermore, the design allows us ...

6 7 8 9 Abstract 10 Cyanogenic glycosides are natural plant toxicants. Action by endogenous plant enzymes 11 can release hydrogen cyanide causing potential toxicity issues for animals including 12 humans. We have quantified amygdalin in seeds from different apple varieties, determined 13 the effects of processing on the amygdalin content of apple juice and quantified amygdalin 14 in commerciall...

It has only recently been discovered that the likely origin of some of the world's most important fruit crops, such as apples, apricots and walnuts, lie in a small region of forests in central Asia. The region is home to more than 300 wild fruit and nut species but this unique genetic resource is under major threat, according to a new report which estimated that 90 per cent of this woodland has...

,Most studies concerning the effects of the gas composition of the atmosphere surrounding fruit have been directed toward the response of the combined changes of oxygen an(d carbon dioxide. This was a result of the economic need for methods of prolonging the storage life by the use of modified atmospheres at temperatures above those which cause chilling injury. Several studies have been concern...
