Abstract Armillaria and Desarmillaria spp. are causal agents of a devastating root-borne disease peach. Breeding resistant rootstock requires reliable screening tool. An in vitro co-culture screen designed for almond was modified by replacing agar-gelled medium with more aerated phenolic foam combining susceptible rootstocks ( i.e. , common garden experiment) minimizes variation inoculum pressu...

late spring frost usually damages flowers and reduces yield of almond trees. due to natural sexual reproduction, in most of almond orchards of qazvin province, iran, which have been established through seedling propagation, a vast genetic variation has been occurred. this situation has been provided many possibilities to study different traits of native almond genotypes, to select superior geno...

having knowledge about genetic relationships among accessions is necessary for developing breeding strategies to produce improved cultivars. in present study, genetic diversity and inter-relationship among 29 genotypes of citrus were comparatively analyzed using morphological and rapd markers. significant variability was observed among citrus genotypes for 61 quantitative and qualitative morpho...

INTRODUCTION Over a period of time researchers have become more interested in finding out the potential of various foods to maintain the general health and to treat diseases. Almonds are a very good source of many nutrients which may help to sharpen the memory and to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to evaluate the nootropic effects of almonds. Eff...

Oil migration from high oil content almond confections into adjacent chocolate causes changes in product quality. The objective of this study was to quantify the oil migration from almond butter and cream products to dark chocolate. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to monitor spatial and temporal changes of liquid lipid content. A multi-slice spin echo pulse sequence was used to acquir...
