A study to mea~ure the effect of walnut scale infestation on English walnut qualityand yield has shown no differences in yield and no consistentdifferencein kernel quality between infested and non-infested trees for the four years ~f the study. Yield and quality of English walnut are not overly sensitive to walnut scale infestation and some degree of infestation can be tolerated with no measura...

The distribution and survival of trees during the last glacial maximum (LGM) has been of interest to paleoecologists, biogeographers, and geneticists. Ecological niche models that associate species occurrence and abundance with climatic variables are widely used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights and to predict species distributions over space and time. The present study deals with th...

Fruit color is an important economic trait. The color of red walnut cultivars is mainly attributed to anthocyanins. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in the molecular mechanism of leaf and peel color change between red and green walnut. A reference transcriptome of walnut was sequenced and annotated to identify genes related to fruit color at the ripening stage. More than 290...

BACKGROUND In food allergy, eliciting doses (EDs) of foods on a population level can improve risk management and labeling strategies for the food industry and regulatory authorities. Previously, data available for walnut were unsuitable to determine EDs. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine EDs for walnut allergic adults and to compare with previously established threshold d...

Walnut is a medicinal plant that its different parts such as leaf, seed, root and green husk was shown to reduce blood glucose. In Iranian traditional medicine, septum of walnut shell (SWS) was recommended to reduce blood glucose. But this effect should be determined with scientific researches. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the aqueous extract of SWS on blood glu...

In 2008, a global production rounding 1,724 and 1,053 million metric tones respectively for walnut and hazelnut has been estimated. Bacterial diseases are threatening these nut crops all over the World. Xhanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis (Xaj) is the agent of walnut bacteriosis, and has been associated also to brown apical necrosis. Several walnut genotypes have shown a range of tolerance to...

The silver (Ag) is a well-known material with interesting properties (i.e. catalytic activity, antimicrobial, etc.). nano-sized particles of propose enhanced due to having relatively higher surface areas. green synthesis promising way preparation/production being more environmentally friendly by utilization less harmful materials. In this work, the plant extracts (Cynara & Walnut shell powd...

In many countries, water pollution from industrial wastewater is a serious problem. This type of can have harmful impact on the environment, to reduce effects these pollutants, several physico-chemical methods are implemented, in particular adsorption bioadsorbents, it common process remove traces pollutants water, aim our work realize comparative experimental study isotherms and kinetics methy...
