The anti-aflatoxigenic potentials of the leaves of Psidium guajava, Ficus benghalensis, Gardenia radicans, Punica granatum and Ziziphus jujuba Mill. were investigated. Poultry feed inoculated with Aspergillus flavus was treated with plant leaves powder and stored for the period of six months at 28 °C and 16% moisture level. At the end of each month, aflatoxin (AFT) concentrations were determine...

jujube (ziziphus jujuba mill.) is a valuable medicinal plant which is important in iranian traditional medicines. although the regional plants such as jujube play an important role in our economy, but they are forgotten in research and technology. considering the economic and medicinal importance of jujube, the first step in breeding programs is determination of the genetic diversity among the ...

Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an economically important deciduous tree that has high therapeutic value and health benefits. However, a lack of sequence data and molecular markers have constrained genetic and breeding studies for better fruit quality and other traits in Chinese jujube. In this study, two combined cDNA libraries of 'Dongzao' fruit representing the early and late stage...

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is an important medicinal plant in Iran. Jujube fruit contains amino acids, polysaccharides and microelements.Ripened jujube fruits were collected at fully mature stage from two research collection of jujube at Khaf and Birjand centers in south Khorasan province, Iran, early in September, 2015.The physicochemical properties and antioxidant capacity were i...

Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill, 2n = 2× = 24, Rhamnaceae) is an economically important Chinese native species. It has high nutritional value, and its medicinal properties have led to extensive use in traditional oriental medicine. The characterization of genotypes using molecular markers is important for genetic studies and plant breeding. However, few simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers...

Loess Plateau is a typical rain-fed farming region, facing the threat of drought. Irrigation method is among the most important factors affecting jujube quality. This study investigated the response of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Lizao quality to three different irrigation methods (drip-, pipe- and surge spring root irrigation) combining two water levels (20 m(3)/hm(2) and 120 m(3)/hm(2)). The ef...
