    X-disease pathogen Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni. Hosts Sweet and tart cherry, peach and nectarine. Alternate hosts include clovers, dandelion, chokecherry, almond and several wild plum and cherry species. Time of concern Management is focused on removing infected hosts before leafhopper spread can occur. Symptoms and damage William Shane, MSU Extension Peach and nectarine leaves develop red, necrotic Sweet cherry leaf with enlarged leaf-like stipules at the base of the areas that drop out, leaving a shot-hole effect and petiole due to X-disease. tattered leaves. Defoliation at the base of a shoot gives a poodle tail or pompom appearance. Fruit on infected branches is smaller, lacks flavor often with a bitter taste and may drop before ripening. Usually by the third year after infection, most branches will show symptoms. Young trees die within one to two years after the first symptoms appear. Older trees gradually decline in vigor. Sweet and tart cherries infected with X-disease phy- toplasma show stunted growth, enlarged stipules and immature, small, poorly colored fruit. Infected cherry trees on mahaleb rootstock decline quickly, whereas those on mazzard rootstock may persist for many years. Pest cycle Chokecherry is an important natural reservoir of peach X-disease phytoplasma in eastern USA. Infected sweet and sour cherries, especially on maz- zard rootstock, can be sources of X-disease, although chokecherry is often the principal reservoir. Other reservoirs of X-disease include weeds such as clover and dandelion. Peaches and nectarines, although severely affected William Shane, MSU Extension by the pathogen, are poor hosts for further disease Peach leaf with wine-red splotches typical of X-disease symptoms.

  • Prunus X Yedoensis Yoshino Cherry1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-523 October 1994 Prunus x yedoensis Yoshino Cherry1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Yoshino Cherry grows quickly to 20 feet, has beautiful bark marked with prominent lenticels but is a relatively short-lived tree (Fig. 1). It has upright to horizontal branching, making it ideal for planting along walks and over patios. The white to pink flowers which occur in early spring before the leaves develop are sometimes damaged by late frosts or very windy conditions. This is the tree along with ‘Kwanzan’ Cherry in Washington, DC, which makes such a show each spring. Figure 1. Mature Yoshino Cherry.

  • Interspecific Hybridizations in Ornamental Flowering Cherries
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 138(3):198–204. 2013. Interspecific Hybridizations in Ornamental Flowering Cherries Validated by Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis Margaret Pooler1 and Hongmei Ma USDA-ARS, U.S. National Arboretum, 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Building 010A, Beltsville, MD 20705 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. simple sequence repeat, molecular markers, plant breeding, Prunus ABSTRACT. Flowering cherries belong to the genus Prunus, consisting primarily of species native to Asia. Despite the popularity of ornamental cherry trees in the landscape, most ornamental Prunus planted in the United States are derived from a limited genetic base of Japanese flowering cherry taxa. Controlled crosses among flowering cherry species carried out over the past 30 years at the U.S. National Arboretum have resulted in the creation of interspecific hybrids among many of these diverse taxa. We used simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to verify 73 of 84 putative hybrids created from 43 crosses representing 20 parental taxa. All verified hybrids were within the same section (Cerasus or Laurocerasus in the subgenus Cerasus) with no verified hybrids between sections. Ornamental flowering cherry trees are popular plants for pollen parent bloomed before the seed parent, anthers were street, commercial, and residential landscapes. Grown primar- collected from the pollen donor just before flower opening and ily for their spring bloom, flowering cherries have been in the allowed to dehisce in gelatin capsules which were stored in United States since the mid-1850s (Faust and Suranyi, 1997), paper coin envelopes in the refrigerator before use. In most and they gained in popularity after the historic Tidal Basin cases, the seed parent was emasculated before pollination.

S1110724304404136 • http://jbb.hindawi.com RESEARCH ARTICLE Sour Cherry (Prunus cerasus L) Anthocyanins as Ingredients for Functional Foods Federica Blando,1∗ Carmela Gerardi,1 and Isabella Nicoletti2 1Istituto di Scienze delle Produzioni Alimentari, CNR, 73100 Lecce, Italy 2Istituto di Metodologie Chimiche, CNR, Area della Ricerca Roma 1, 00015 Montelibretti, Roma, Italy Received 19 April 2004; revised 10 June 2004; accepted 15 June 2004 In the recent years many studies on anthocyanins have revealed their strong antioxidant activity and their possible use as chemother- apeutics. The finding that sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L) (also called tart cherries) contain high levels of anthocyanins that possess strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties has attracted much attention to this species. Here we report the preliminary results of the induction of anthocyanin biosynthesis in sour cherry callus cell cultures. The evaluation and characterization of the in vitro produced pigments are compared to those of the anthocyanins found in vivo in fruits of several sour cherry cultivars. Inter- estingly, the anthocyanin profiles found in whole fruit extracts were similar in all tested genotypes but were different with respect to the callus extract. The evaluation of antioxidant activity, performed by ORAC and TEAC assays, revealed a relatively high antioxidant capacity for the fruit extracts (from 1145 to 2592 µmol TE/100 g FW) and a lower one for the callus extract (688 µmol TE/100 g FW). INTRODUCTION tion of anthocyanins extracted from cherry fruit is re- stricted to their seasonal production; moreover, the fruit Anthocyanins, one of the major groups of pig- has too high a value as a fresh fruit to be used for an- ments belonging to the secondary metabolite group of thocyanin extraction.

THE TOXIN The toxic principles of the Prunus family are the cyanogenic glycosides prunasin, prulaurasin and amygdalin (2, 3). These cyanogenic glycosides are typically stored in the vacuole of the plant cell where they do not harm the normal metabolic processes of the plant. However, if the vacuole membrane is broken due to damage or stresses (e.g., chewing, crushing, wilting, freezing), certain enzymes in the plant cell and micro-organisms in the ruminal stomach hydrolyze the glycosides into hydrogen cyanide (HCN) (2,4).

  • Identifying Choke Cherry a Source of X Disease  Dr
    Bringing information and education into the communities of the Granite State Identifying Choke Cherry A Source of X Disease Dr. Alan T. Eaton, Extension Specialist, Entomology Choke cherry identification is important for peach and sweet cherry growers. This is because choke cherry (Prunus virginiana L.) is important in spreading a fatal disease of peach and sweet cherry trees, called X-disease. The disease is caused by a phytoplasma, which is spread from tree to tree by certain species of leafhoppers. The leafhoppers pick it up by feeding on X-infected choke cherries or X-infected sweet cherries. We have no way to cure the disease once it gets into the peach or cherry trees, so we focus on preventing its spread. We recommend eliminating choke cherries from within 500 feet of the peach or sweet cherry orchard. If you’re unsure of identifications, you could just eliminate any cherry-looking things within 500 feet, but that might make lots of unnecessary work. How do you identify the offenders? If you’re just interested in eliminating the infected choke cherries, it is very easy in late July. Why? Infected choke cherries have foliage that is yellowish green at that time, with bronze colors starting to appear. Then they shift to dark bronze colors. From the time they start this shift (late July), they really stand out from other vegetation. Almost nothing else here looks like that at that time (July 25 to Aug 5). See photo. X-infected choke cherry What if you wish to eliminate all choke cherries? You can use several traits to identify them.
