Prunus (Rosaceae) includes many commercially important fruit crop species that exhibit self-incompatibility (SI), including sweet cherry (P. avium L.), Japanese apricot mume Sieb. et Zucc.), plum salicina Lindl.), armeniaca and almond dulcis [Mill.] D. A. Webb.). These S-ribonuclease-based gametophytic SI, which prevents self-pollen tube growth in the pistil. The successful production of self-f...

Abstract Locally available apricot ( Prunus armeniaca L.) seed shell wastes were utilized for the preparation of an efficient dye biosorbent. The as-prepared powder ASP ) was thoroughly characterized using FTIR, SEM-EDX, XRD, BET surface area, and pH PZC measurements to elucidate its functional groups, as well texture morphology charge. effect several process variables (such contact time, bioso...

The Loess Plateau is one of the most fragile ecosystems in world. In order to increase biodiversity area, develop sustainable agriculture and income local people, we simulated potential geographic distribution two economic forest trees (Malus pumila Mill Prunus armeniaca L.) present future under climate scenarios, using maximum entropy model. this study, importance contributions environmental v...

The present study describes the in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of methanol and water extracts of sweet and bitter apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) kernels. The antioxidant properties of apricot kernels were evaluated by determining radical scavenging power, lipid peroxidation inhibition activity and total phenol content measured with a DPPH test, the thiocyanate method and the Fol...
