Under normal environmental conditions, many plants synthesize cyanogenic glycosides, which are able to release hydrogen cyanide upon hydrolysis. Each year, there are frequent livestock and occasional human victims of cyanogenic plants consumption. The present work aims to determine the hydrocyanic acid content in different samples of cyanogenic plants, selected from the Tunisian flora, and in t...

The genus Prunus, which contains 250–400 species, has ample genomic resources for the economically important taxa in group including cherries, peaches, and almonds. However, backbone of specifically position racemose relative to solitary corymbose groups, remains phylogenetically uncertain. Surprisingly, phylogenomic analyses resolve relationships are lacking. Here, we assemble transcriptomes f...

Double stranded RNAs from Prunus samples gathered from various surveys were analyzed by a deep-sequencing approach. Contig annotations revealed the presence of a potential new viral species in an Azerbaijani almond tree (Prunus amygdalus) and its genome sequence was completed. Its genomic organization is similar to that of the recently described Apricot vein clearing associated virus (AVCaV) fo...

the gf677 (prunus amygdalus×prunus persica) is a peach rootstock tolerant to fe deficiency .therefore, mass propagation of gf677 rootstock is recommended by bioreactor. on the other hand, plant micro-propagation using bioreactors can decrease the cost of production and makes it an economical method. in this research, the possibility of using bioreactor and optimization of the tissue culture pro...

The extract of P. amygdalus var. amara is known for its health benefits, which include lowering diabetes and heart disease risks. In eight human tumor cell lines, demonstrated potent anti-cancer activity, including NB4, Huh-7, A-549, SKOV-3, PC-3, T-24, U937, Hep-2. There was a notable change in the morphology nearly all cancer cells continued to exist. Incubation 12 h, 24 48 or 72 h resulted l...
