Prunus subg. Prunus sect. Prunocerasus (Rosaceae) is a North American taxon with 17 commonly recognized taxa. To test the hypothesis of monophyly for the section we sequenced the trnG and rpL16 introns and the trnH-psbA and trnS-trnG intergenic spacers for at least two representatives of each of the five subgenera in Prunus. Additionally we sampled heavily among Prunus subg. Prunus sections Pru...

Metallic nanoparticles are important substances in medicine. These particles could be prepared by various ways including green synthesis. The production of silver plant extracts is widely used because their environmentally friendly properties. In this study, have been synthesized biological method and Apricot tree (Prunus armeniaca) leaf extract was as reducing agent. color change formation the...

Plums (Prunus spp) are among the most important stone fruit crops in the world. European (Prunus domestica) and Japanese (Prunus salicina) plums are characterized by different levels of ploidy. Because genetic variability is the prerequisite for any plant-breeding program, we aimed to establish the taxonomic status of Tunisian plums and study their genetic variability. The nuclear DNA content o...

The study was carried out to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) [0.5 and 1.0 mmol L-1] modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) treatments on weight loss, respiration rate, firmness, colour, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity, vitamin C, total phenolics, flavonoids antioxidant capacity (DPPH FRAP assay) apricot fruit (Prunus armeniaca) during cold storage. Fruit were st...

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is an important fruit crop and member of the Prunus genus Rosaceae family that planted in many temperate regions worldwide. The quality assessed by pomological parameters which can serve as a decisive factor apricot breeding, because introduction new cultivars required. These differ with climate conditions, geographical location or geographic ecological origin. Sim...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were developed for Prunus sibirica to investigate genetic diversity, population genetic structure, and marker-assisted selection of late-blooming cultivars in the breeding of P. sibirica. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using a magnetic bead enrichment strategy, 19 primer pairs were developed and characterized across 40 individuals from three P. si...
