natural and recombinant molecules of the cherry allergen pru av 2 show diverse structural and b cell characteristics but similar t cell reactivity.	cherry allergy is often reported in the context of allergy to other fruits of the rosaceae family and pollinosis to trees because of cross-reactive allergens. allergic reactions to cherry are reported by 19-29% of birch pollen-allergic patients. pru av 2, identified as a thaumatin-like protein (tlp) from sweet cherry, was recognized by the majority of cherry-allergic patients in immunoblotting.	2006	16499648
cryopreservation of prunus avium l. embryogenic tissues.	embryogenic tissues from wild cherry (prunus avium l.) were successfully cryopreserved by using a one-step freezing procedure. cryoprotection consisted of a pretreatment on solid medium with increasing sucrose concentrations (0.25 m for 1 day, 0.5 m for 1 day, 0.75 m for 2 days, and 1.0 m for 3 days), followed by air desiccation to about 20 percent moisture content (fresh weight basis). this method was compared with a pretreatment on solid medium containing 5 percent dmso and 2 percent proline, ...	2013	16547548
a study of ethylene in apple, red raspberry, and cherry.	high ethylene levels were associated with flower abscission in apple (malus sylvestris) and cherry (prunus avium and prunus cerasus), "june drop" of immature cherries, and harvest drop of apple and red raspberry (rubus idaeus). however, an increase in ethylene content was not associated with june drop of apples and harvest drop of cherries. during the period of fruit ripening on the plant, the largest increases in ethylene occurred in apple flesh and red raspberry receptacular tissue. ethylene r ...	1972	16658013
the occurrence of nitrate reductase in leaves of prunus species.	nitrate reductase was found in leaves of apricot prunus armeniaca, sour cherry p. cerasus, sweet cherry p. avium, and plum p. domestica, but not in peach p. persica, from trees grown in sand culture receiving a nitrate containing nutrient solution. nitrate was found in the leaves of all species. nitrate and nitrate reductase were found in leaves of field-grown apricot, sour cherry, and plum trees. the enzyme-extracting medium contained insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone, and including dithiothreitol ...	1972	16658037
polyribosomes from aging apple and cherry fruit.	the sequence of events which occurs during the ripening of the passe-crassane pear fruit have been previously studied. in this work, we have investigated the ripening of another climacteric fruit (pyrus malus l. cv golden delicious) and of a nonclimacteric fruit (prunus avium l. cv bigarreau napoléon). we show that both climacteric fruits exhibit the same preclimacteric sequence of events. differences exist, however, between the golden delicious apple and the passe-crassane pear in that the prot ...	1983	16663295
development, distribution, and characteristics of intrinsic, nonbacterial ice nuclei in prunus wood.	ice nuclei active at approximately -2 degrees c and intrinsic to woody tissues of prunus spp. were shown to have properties distinct from bacterial ice nuclei. soaking 5-centimeter peach stem sections in water for 4 hours lowered the mean ice nucleation temperature to below -4 degrees c, nearly 2 degrees c lower than stems inoculated with ice nucleation-active pseudomonas syringae strain b301d. ice nucleation activity in peach was fully restored by air-drying woody stem sections for a few hours. ...	1988	16666404
bee population returns and cherry yields in an orchard pollinated with osmia lignaria (hymenoptera: megachilidae).	during 1998-2003, we used populations of the solitary bee osmia lignaria say to pollinate a commercial sweet cherry orchard in northern utah. bee densities released each year ranged from 1290 to 1857 females/ha, with approximately twice as many males. female progeny produced each year were greater than parental populations released, except in 2003, when nesting was poor due to bird predation. despite poor weather during bloom, and in contrast to most other local producers, the study orchard prod ...	2006	16686139
studies on water transport through the sweet cherry fruit surface. 10. evidence for polar pathways across the exocarp.	water uptake through the fruit surface is considered as an important factor in cracking of sweet cherry (prunus avium l.) fruit. uptake may occur by diffusion and/or viscous flow along a polar pathway. to establish the mechanism of water uptake, the effects of viscosity and molecular weight of selected osmotica on water uptake into detached sweet cherry fruit were investigated. in addition we investigated the effect of temperature on penetration of 2-(1-naphthyl)[1-(14)c]acetic acid ([(14)c]naa; ...	2006	16719520
heterozygote excess in a self-incompatible and partially clonal forest tree species -- prunus avium l.	wild cherry (prunus avium l.), a partially asexual self-incompatible forest tree, shows heterozygote excess, which is a poorly studied phenomenon. in three natural populations, we found significant heterozygote excess at almost all investigated loci (eight microsatellites and markers for the self-incompatibility locus). we examined four hypotheses to account for this observed heterozygote excess. first, negative f(is) can result from a lack of selfed progeny in small populations of outcrossing s ...	2006	16780428

comparative analysis of plant finds from early roman graves in ilok (cuccium) and sćitarjevo (andautonia), croatia--a contribution to understanding burial rites in southern pannonia.	a comparative archaeobotanical analysis of the plant remains from the early roman incineration graves in ilok and sćitarjevo shows the existence of a complex burial ritual, but at the same time enables a better understanding of the agriculture and trade of the 1st/early 2nd century ad in southern pannonia. most of the cereals found (hordeum vulgare, panicum miliaceum, triticum monococcum, t. dicoccon, t. aestivum i t. cf. spelta), the legumes (lens culinaris, vicia ervilia) and the fruit contrib ...	2006	16848163
studies on water transport through the sweet cherry fruit surface. 11. fecl3 decreases water permeability of polar pathways.	the effect of fecl3 (10 mm) on osmotic water uptake into detached sweet cherry fruit (prunus avium l.) and on the (3)h2o permeability (p(d)) of excised exocarp segments (es) or enzymatically isolated cuticular membranes (cm) was investigated. es or cm were mounted in an infinite dose diffusion system, where diffusion is monitored from a dilute donor solution through an interfacing es or cm into a receiver solution under quasi steady-state conditions. in the absence of fecl3, (3)h2o diffusion thr ...	2006	16910722
molecular characterization of three non-functional s-haplotypes in sour cherry (prunus cerasus).	tetraploid sour cherry (prunus cerasus) exhibits a genotype-dependent loss of gametophytic self-incompatibility that is caused by the accumulation of non-functional s-haplotypes with disrupted pistil component (stylar-s) and/or pollen component (pollen-s) function. genetic studies using diverse sour cherry germplasm identified non-functional s-haplotypes for which an equivalent wild-type s-haplotype was present in sweet cherry (prunus avium), a diploid progenitor of sour cherry. in all cases, th ...	2006	16915517
comparative analysis of the within-population genetic structure in wild cherry (prunus avium l.) at the self-incompatibility locus and nuclear microsatellites.	gametophytic self-incompatibility (si) systems in plants exhibit high polymorphism at the si controlling s-locus because individuals with rare alleles have a higher probability to successfully pollinate other plants than individuals with more frequent alleles. this process, referred to as frequency-dependent selection, is expected to shape number, frequency distribution, and spatial distribution of self-incompatibility alleles in natural populations. we investigated the genetic diversity and the ...	2006	16968267
the mutated s1-haplotype in sour cherry has an altered s-haplotype-specific f-box protein gene.	gametophytic self-incompatibility (gsi) is an outcrossing mechanism in flowering plants that is genetically controlled by 2 separate genes located at the highly polymorphic s-locus, termed s-haplotype. this study characterizes a pollen part mutant of the s(1)-haplotype present in sour cherry (rosaceae, prunus cerasus l.) that contributes to the loss of gsi. inheritance of s-haplotypes from reciprocal interspecific crosses between the self-compatible sour cherry cultivar ujfehértói fürtös carryin ...	2006	16985081
self-compatible peach (prunus persica) has mutant versions of the s haplotypes found in self-incompatible prunus species.	this study demonstrates that self-compatible (sc) peach has mutant versions of s haplotypes that are present in self-incompatible (si) prunus species. all three peach s haplotypes, s (1), s (2), and s (2m), found in this study encode mutated pollen determinants, sfb, while only s (2m) has a mutation that affects the function of the pistil determinant s-rnase. a cysteine residue in the c5 domain of the s (2m)-rnase is substituted by a tyrosine residue, thereby reducing rnase stability. the peach ...	2007	17006593
detecting local establishment strategies of wild cherry (prunus avium l.).	p. avium, a pioneer tree species that colonizes early forest successional stages, is assumed to require an effective strategy allowing stably repeatable rounds of local establishment, dispersal and local extinction. consequently, the early replacement of cherry by climax tree species makes the establishment of several local generations very unlikely, especially in central european continuous cover forests. this has to be seen in connection with the mixed reproduction system involving asexual rep ...	2006	17020607
influence of cultivar and processing on cherry (prunus avium) allergenicity.	oral allergy syndrome is an immediate food allergic event that affects lips, mouth, and pharynx, is often triggered by fruits and vegetables, and may be associated with pollinosis. here, we report on the allergenic pattern of different varieties of cherry (prunus avium) and results obtained by applying several technological processes to the selected varieties. whole cherries were submitted to chemical peeling, thermal treatment, and syruping processes, and the relative protein extracts were anal ...	2006	17177523
distribution and fine-scale spatial-genetic structure in british wild cherry (prunus avium l.).	insights into the within-population spatial-genetic structure (sgs) of forest tree species, where little is known regarding seed and pollen dispersal patterns, enhance understanding of their ecology and provide information of value in conservation and breeding. this study utilised 13 polymorphic simple sequence repeat loci to investigate the impact of asexual recruitment, management regime and tree size on the development of sgs in wild cherry (prunus avium l). only 246 genotypes were identified ...	2007	17245421
composition of the cuticle of developing sweet cherry fruit.	the composition of wax and cutin from developing sweet cherry (prunus avium) fruit was studied by gc-ms between 22 and 85 days after full bloom (dafb). in this and our previous study, fruit mass and surface area increased in a sigmoidal pattern with time, but mass of the cuticular membrane (cm) per unit fruit surface area decreased. on a whole fruit basis, mass of cm increased up to 36 dafb and remained constant thereafter. at maturity, triterpenes, alkanes and alcohols accounted for 75.6%, 19.1 ...	2007	17328933
cracking susceptibility of sweet cherries (prunus avium l.) under different conditions.	rain and hail during ripening and harvesting season can cause yield losses up to 90 % in sweet cherry cultivations in germany. particularly, high yield losses after precipitation are due to the cracking and the following rotting process through bacteria and fungi's. in order to protect the crop and improve cherry quality they can be treated with chemicals dried or healthier covered with rain shelters. to date the cracking phenomenon of cherries is still not clearly understood. therefore, in the ...	2006	17390796
self-incompatibility of prunus tenella and evidence that reproductively isolated species of prunus have different sfb alleles coupled with an identical s-rnase allele.	many species of prunus display an s-rnase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility (si), controlled by a single highly polymorphic multigene complex termed the s-locus. this comprises tightly linked stylar- and pollen-expressed genes that determine the specificity of the si response. we investigated si of prunus tenella, a wild species found in small, isolated populations on the balkan peninsula, initially by pollination experiments and identifying stylar-expressed rnase alleles. nine p. tenella ...	2007	17461794
effect of host plants on developmental time and life table parameters of amphitetranychus viennensis (acari: tetranychidae).	the effect of host plant species including black cherry (prunus serotina cv. irani), cherry (prunus avium cv. siahe mashhad) and apple (malus domestica cv. shafi abadi) was studied on biological parameters of amphitetranychus viennensis (zacher) in the laboratory at 25 +/- 1 degrees c, 70 +/- 10% rh and 16l: 8d photoperiod. duration of each life stage, longevity, reproduction rate, the intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm), net reproductive rate (r0), mean generation time (t), doubling time (d ...	2007	17710558
