corylus hallaisanensis/necrosis

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana) is a traditionally cultivated nut species in Italy. Italy is the second largest producer of hazelnut in the world after Turkey. In early summer of 2000, a severe fruit drop (up to 60%) was observed in several hazelnut orchards located in the Latium Region in central

Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginia) extracts are used in traditional medicine. They are particularly rich in gallate esters included in proanthocyanidins, hydrolyzable tannins (galloylated sugars), and methyl gallate. This study examines the response of human colon cancer cells to treatment with

Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) bark is a rich source of condensed and hydrolyzable tannins reported to exert a protective action against colon cancer. The present study characterizes different witch hazel tannins as selective cytotoxic agents against colon cancer. To cover the structural

During the last 5 years, two new diseases, brown apical necrosis (BAN) and gray necrosis (GN), were observed on English walnut (Juglans regia) and hazelnut (Corylus avellana), respectively (2,3). Both diseases caused severe fruit drop resulting in yield loss often exceeding 30%. Previous work

Canker pathogens cause necrosis of the phloem, but in many host/pathogen systems, they also cause canopy dieback, which implicates xylem, not phloem dysfunction. We hypothesize that this dieback distal to the canker is caused by water stress resulting from the lack of a phloem-to-xylem connection,

OBJECTIVE Corylus avellana L. (hazelnut) is known to be a delicious and nutritious food. This study was carried out to evaluate the use of hazelnut as a therapy for memory impairment because in Iranian traditional medicine, it is recommended for those suffering from a particular type of dementia,

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is one of the most economically important tree crops in Italy. Xanthomonas arboricola pv. corylina (Xac) causes bacterial blight of hazelnut (4). During early summer 2010, a survey of three orchards (5 ha total) containing 4-year-old hazelnut trees (cv. Tonda di

Cultivation of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) has considerable economic potential in Italy, in particular, in the northern Lazio Region. Since early summer of 2000, cankered twigs have been observed on hazelnut trees that were severely affected by gray necrosis, which is a disease complex causing
