application of a bayesian ordinal animal model for the estimation of breeding values for the resistance to monilinia fruticola (g.winter) honey in progenies of peach [prunus persica (l.) batsch].fruit brown rot caused by monilinia spp. is the most important fungal disease of stone fruits worldwide. several phenotyping protocols to accurately characterize and evaluate brown rot infection have been proposed; however, the outcomes from those studies have not led to consistent advances in resistance breeding programs. breeding for disease resistance is one of the most challenging objectives for crop improvement because disease expression is tetrahedral: it is simultaneously influenced by ag ...028588387
comparison between in toto peach (prunus persica l. batsch) supplementation and its polyphenolic extract on rat liver xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes.over the past years, there has been a growing interest in the natural constituents of foods as a potential means of cancer control. to date, epidemiology studies seem to indicate an inverse association between regular consumption of fruit and vegetables and cancer risk. here, the potential chemopreventive activity of the polyphenolic extract (ppe) of peach (prunus persica l. batsch) and of the freeze-dried fruit in toto (lft), focusing on the modulation of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (xmes) ...027742397
genome-wide identification and analysis of the type-b authentic response regulator gene family in peach (prunus persica).the type-b authentic response regulator (arr-b) family members serve as dna-binding transcriptional regulators, whose activities are probably regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation, resulting in the rapid induction of type-a arr genes. type-b arrs are believed to be involved in many biological processes, including cytokinin signaling, plant growth, and stress responses through a chaperone or by isomerization of proline residues during protein folding. the public availability of complete ...028351057
