A micropropagation system was developed for hazelnut cultivars and
rootstocks. Culture establishment was affected by explant source, explant collecting
season, and type of explant. The highest frequency of culture initiation and lowest
tissue oxidation and contamination were obtained from internodes with single axillary
buds from grafted greenhouse-grown plants early in...
To identify novel host genetic resistance to eastern filbert blight, caused by the fungus Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller, ninety European hazelnut {Corylus avellana L.) varieties and interspecific hybrids (with C. americana Marsh, or C. colurna L.) were screened for response to the eastern filbert blight pathogen after inoculation in...
Inheritance of eight enzyme systems, alanine aminopeptidase (AAP), aspartate
aminotransferase (AAT), aconitase (ACON), glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI),
malate dehydrogenase (MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGD),
phosphoglucomutase (PGM), and shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH) was studied in
hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) by either polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
(PAGE) or starch gel electrophoresis. Three isozymes were detected...
Eastern filbert blight, caused by Anisogramma anomala (Peck) E. Muller,
is a serious threat to hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) production. Resistant
cultivars offer the best control. Screening systems were needed to reliably
identify disease, particularly in immune progeny derived from 'Gasaway'. An
indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) was developed using...
