Production of european pears (Pyrus communis L.) in the eastern United States is limited by a number of physiological and pathological problems. In an attempt to expand sustainable pear production in that region, a series of long-term field trials of asian pear [Pyrus pyrifolia (Burm. F) Nak. (syn. Pyrus serotina L.)] were established at two sites in Maryland. To compare precocity, productivity, and survival, nine asian pear cultivars and three European cultivars were planted in a replicated trial in 2010 at the Wye Research and Education Center (Wye REC). The asian pears were precocious and productive and many trees flowered and fruited in the second leaf. After the fourth leaf, survival of ‘Isi’iwasi’, ‘Shinsui’, ‘Kosui’, and ‘Olympic’ was good, while many ‘Hosui’ and ‘Ya Li’ (asian pear) trees as well as ‘Bartlett’ and ‘Golden Russett’ (european pear) trees had died at that point, following bloom infections of fire blight (Erwinia amylovora). -

Accepted 22.05.2021 Clamator glandarius is reported from the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. During the first field trip, one individual was observed, and two individuals during the second trip for species mating were registered. Keywords: Great spotted cuckoo, Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, mating, breeding season Introduction The Caucasus is one of the biodiversity hotspots, including Georgia, Azerbaijan (Nakhchivan AR), Armenia, and partly northern Iran (Fig. 1). According to Conservation International and WWF, this region is home to many endemic species and is one of the essential hotspot regions in terms of biodiversity (https://www.caucasus-naturefund.org/ecoregion/). The formation of the Caucasus goes back to the Oligocene age (33.7–23.8 Ma); while it was a small continental island in this period, it became a natural barrier by rising at the end of the Pliocene (5–2 Ma) (Demirsoy, 2008). -

[email protected] 2 Department of Biology, Islamic Azad University of Ghaemshahr Summary The antioxidant activity of freeze-dried aqueous extract of Pyrus boissieriana fruit was investigated, employing various established in vitro systems, such as the linoleic acid model system, DPPH, H 2O2 and nitric oxide radical scavenging, reducing power, and Fe 2+ chelating activity. The amount of the total phenolic compounds present was determined according to Folin-Ciocalteu method. Aluminum chloride colorimetric method also was used for Flavonoids contents determination. IC 50 for DPPH was 980 ± 21 µg ml -1. The multiple antioxidant activity of P. boissieriana was evident as it showed moderate nitric oxide and H 2O2 scavenging and weak iron chelating activities. IC 50 for nitric oxide scavenging was 746 ± 54 µg ml -1. The peroxidation inhibition of extract exhibited values from 83.3 % (at 24 th hrs) to 61.9% (at 72 nd hrs). The total phenolic content was 37.87 ± 2.51 mg gallic acid equivalent/g of extract powder. The total flavonoid content was 15.07 ± 0.87 mg quercetin equivalent/g of extract powder, respectively. Key words: Antioxidant activity, DPPH, Iron Ion chelating, Pyrus boissieriana Introduction Living tissues that undertake aerobic metabolism as a source of energy are under constant threat of damage by reactive oxygen derivatives. -

J. Silva et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The pear (Pyrus communis L.) is a typical fruit of temperate regions, having its origin and domestication at two different points, China and Asia Minor until the Middle East. It is the fifth most widely produced fruit in the world, being produced mainly in China, Europe, and the United States. Pear belongs to rosaceous family, being a close “cousin” of the apple, but with some particularities that make this fruit special with a delicate flavor. Thus, it deserves a special attention and a meticulous review of all the history involved, and the recent research devoted to it, because of the economic and cultural importance of this fruit in a range of countries and cultures. Therefore, the purpose of this literature review is to approach the history of the origin, domestication, and dispersal of pears, as well as reporting their botany, their current scenario in the world, and their breeding and conservation. -

Arbutin Analysis in Leaves, Fruit and Branches of Pyrus Amygdaliformis Vill
Ibrahim Bulduk.et al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Application www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 6, ( Part -5) June 2016, pp.15-24 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Arbutin Analysis In Leaves, Fruit And Branches Of Pyrus Amygdaliformis Vill. Var. Amygdaliformis Method Optimization Ibrahim Bulduk*, Mehtap Donmez Sahin** *Uşak University, Health Care Education, Research And Application Center, 64200, Uşak, Turkey. **Uşak University, Health Care Education, Research And Application Center, 64200, Uşak, Turkey. ABSTRACT Arbutin is a derivative of hydroquinone that develops naturally. It is produced in numerous plant species belonging to various families, such as Lamiaceae, Ericaceae, Saxifragaceae and Rosaceae. It is a tyrosinase inhibitor and one of its uses is as a cosmetic skin whitening agent. Pyrus amygdaliformis Vill. var. amygdaliformis, also known as the almond-leaved pear, is a species of plant in the Rosaceae family. It is native to southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and west Asia. In this study, Arbutin was analyzed in leaves, fruits and branches of Pyrus amygdaliformis Vill. var. amygdaliformis and analytical method was optimized. A modeling of the ultrasound assisted extraction of arbutin from leaves, fruits and branches of Pyrus amygdaliformis Vill. var. amygdaliformis was achieved using response surface methodology. A three-level-three-factor Box– Behnken design was implemented with the aim of optimizing three extraction variables, including extraction temperature (X1), extraction time (X2), and methanol concentration (X3), for the achievement of high extraction yield of the arbutin. The optimized conditions are extraction temperature of 43.76 ˚C, methanol concentration of 48.50 %, extraction time of 39.44 min.
