Tree species differ in their physiological responses to drought, but the underlying causes are often unclear. Here we explored of radial growth centennial drought events and sap flow (Fs) seasonal four mixed forests on either moist or drier sites northwestern Switzerland. While diffuse-porous (Fagus sylvatica, Prunus avium, Tilia platyphyllos) showed marked reductions 1976 2003, two known marke...

dry matter production in oak (Quercus robur L.) seedlings and clonal cherry (Prunus avium L. × pseudocerasus Lind.) plants were measured during 19 months of growth in climate-controlled greenhouses at ambient (350 vpm) or elevated (700 vpm) CO2. In both species, the elevated CO2 treatment increased the PPFD saturated-rate of photosynthesis and dry matter production. After two months at elevated...

The orange peel extract (OE) is an additive material that has been used widely as a natural antioxidant source and bioactive compounds in Pharmaceutical food sector. poor stability degradation of this were considered problems the industry. New technologies have introduced recently to prevent encapsulation.
 In work, chitosan (CS) Prunus avium gum (PG) proposed promising based materials for...

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is an important fruit crop in which fruit size is strongly associated with commercial value; few genes associated with fruit size have, however, been identified in sweet cherry. Members of the CYP78A subfamily, a group of important cytochrome P450s, have been found to be involved in controlling seed size and development in Arabidopsis thaliana, rice, soybean, and ...

The effects of edible chitosan coating (0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.75% w/v) on the changes in quality, respiration rate, total phenolic content anthocyanin postharvest sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) at 10 °C were investigated. activities superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) ascorbate peroxidase (APX) also determined. result showed that treatments effective delaying evolution parameters relate...
