Study on pecan seed germination influenced by seed endocarp

Open Life Sciences, 2022
Nondeep physiological dormancy exists in freshly harvested pecan (Carya illinoinensis) seed, and the endocarp inhibits the seed germination. New methods were tried to detect if “chemical dormancy” or “mechanical dormancy” was caused by the endocarp.

Valorization of fruit pits from Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus cerasifera as agro-food byproducts: Bioactive properties and safety assessment for potential food additive applications. [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric
Abstract BACKGROUND Food additives are widely used to extend the shelf life of foods and maintain their quality. In this study, the potential of Prunus laurocerasus and Prunus cerasifera fruit pits (endocarp and seed) as food additives was investigated in terms of cytotoxicity, antigenotoxicity, antioxidant activity, enzymatic anti‐browning, and urease

Metabolomics Data Revealed Metabolite Changes during Endocarp Lignification in Kernel-Using Apricot

Horticulturae, 2022
To understand the metabolite dynamics and genetic regulatory mechanism of apricot shell, a typical endocarp, before and after lignification are unknown, we investigated the metabolite differences of the endocarp of ‘Youyi,’ a popular kernel-using apricot

Analysis of similarities and differences of accessions belonging to Prunus domestica L. and P. insititia L. using endocarp dimensions [PDF]

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
The endocarp or stone is the most stable morphological feature of the genus Prunus. However, the identification of plum types, groups and/or genotypes based on endocarp is complicated because of a wide range of variation and morphological transitional ...

Characterizing the role of endocarp a and b cells layers during pod (silique) development in Brassicaceae [PDF]

Plant Signaling & Behavior
The process of silique dehiscence is essential for the proper dispersal of seeds at the end of a dehiscent fruit plants lifecycle. Current research focuses on genetic manipulation to mitigate this process and enhance shatter tolerance in crop plants ...

Screening and functional prediction of differentially expressed genes in walnut endocarp during hardening period based on deep neural network under agricultural internet of things.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The deep neural network is used to establish a neural network model to solve the problems of low accuracy and poor accuracy of traditional algorithms in screening differentially expressed genes and function prediction during the walnut endocarp hardening

The role of JrLACs in the lignification of walnut endocarp

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background The walnut shell, which is composed of a large number of sclereids originating from the lignified parenchyma of the endocarp, plays an important role in fruit development and during harvesting and storage.

Transcript assembly and quantification by RNA-Seq reveals differentially expressed genes between soft-endocarp and hard-endocarp hawthorns. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is an important pome with a long history as a fruit, an ornamental, and a source of medicine. Fruits of hawthorn are marked by hard stony endocarps, but a hawthorn germplasm with soft and thin endocarp was found in Liaoning ...

Antioxidant Activity of Aqueous and Ethanolic Extracts of Coconut (Cocos nucifera) Fruit By-Products

Agronomy, 2022
Coconut is widely used as a food source in producing countries, and during consumption, the waste that is generated needs to be reduced through by-products processing to ensure environmental sustainability. This study aimed to assess the functionality of
