Knowledge about the genetic potential of wild Prunus species is important for recognizing gene pools in germplasm and developing effective strategies for germplasm conservation and breeding. In this study, cultivated sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) and relative wild Cereus subgenus genotypes...

This study investigated the storability of two popular Chinese cherry (Prunus pseudocerasus) cultivars 'Manaohong' and 'Longjianhong' treated with different biological preservatives (tea polyphenols, salicylic acid) and chemical preservatives (nisin, natamycin). The texture properties, sweetness,...

The complete genome of Plum pox virus strain T isolates from five different Prunus spp., including almond (P. dulcis) and sour cherry (P. ceracus) isolates, was fully sequenced using the primer pairs designed in this study. The five isolates were aligned with other 50 PPV-T isolates whose complete...

Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is a typical ethylene-sensitive cut flower, but a few differences in ethylene sensitivity have been reported for different potted carnation species. In this study, we investigated the relationship between vase life, ethylene sensitivity, ethylene biosynthesis...

Fruit rot caused by the pathogenic fungus Penicillium is one of the most critical factors in reducing the post-harvest life of fruit crops worldwide. In the present study, the effects of marjoram essential oil and Bacillus bacteria on the control of rot caused by a blue mold of cherry (Prunus avium ...

The research was done to consider the regulating potential of 3 plants growth-promoting bacterial (PGPB) strains, including Burkholderia gladia BA7, Bacillus subtilus OSU142, and Bacillus megatorium M3 alone and their combinations on the growth of grafted peach, sweet cherry, and plum nursery...

Scope: Prunus avium fruit is the richer source of phenolics known to exert anticancer and anti-invasive activities. The study aimed at elucidating antiproliferative and chemo-preventive potential of sweet cherries (P. avium) against the in vivo hepatocarcinoma model. Methods and results: The...

Although microplastic (MP) pollution in farmland increased, the effect of MPs on plant growth was not clearly explained. Therefore, the object of the study was to evaluate the effect of polypropylene microplastics (PP-MPs) on plant germination, growth, and nutrient uptake under hydroponic...

The Andean black cherry (P. serotina) is an underutilized fruit species that could contribute to the development of sustainable food systems in the Andean region. The species displays gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI), a mechanism controlled by the multiallelic S-locus which prevents...

Objective: Nutrient resorption efficiency and stoichiometric ratios are important strategies for understanding plants. The present study examined whether or not the nutrient resorption process of plant petals is similar to that of leaves and other vegetative organs, as well as the nutrient...
