There is a positive relationship between pollination and fruit yield of almonds. Since self-incompatibility major problem in almond cultivars, foreign pollinators are generally used almonds to get high quality. This study was conducted investigate the effects different (inbreed hybrid combinations) on set pomological characteristics Texas cultivar 2018 - 2019 growing seasons. Fruit ratios varie...

Eight almond (Prunus dulcis L.) cultivars from 12 different California counties, collected during crop years 2004 to 2005 and 2005 to 2006, were extracted with petroleum ether. The extracts were subjected to GC-MS analyses to determine fatty acid composition of soluble lipids. Results indicated palmitic (C16:0), oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2), and alpha-linolenic (C18:3) acid, respectively, ac...

Single crystals of three different isoenzymes of (R)-(+) mandelonitrile lyase (hydroxynitrile lyase) from almonds (Prunus amygdalus) have been obtained by hanging drop vapor diffusion using polyethylene glycol 4000 and isopropanol as co-precipitants. The crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1) with unit cell parameters a = 69.9, b = 95.1, c = 95.6 A, and beta = 118.5 degrees. A comp...

lants have evolved a variety of reproductive systems. The trees of some species, -L such as ash and ginkgo, are differentiated by gender, with both a female and a male individual required for seed production. Other species, such as cherries and almonds, ensure cross-pollination without separating individuals by gender: each plant is self-incompatible, so that stigmas cannot be fertilized by pol...
