Jojoba seeds have long been used by indigenous desert people to dress wounds, facilitate childbirth, cure stomach problems and restore hair growth. The earliest known documentation of jojoba appears in a 1701 letter from the Jesuit priest Eusebio F. Kino to King Phillip V of Spain. Kino discusses the Pima Indian tribe of New Spain and their use of jojoba's medicinal fruit. This citation predates the historical descriptions of Clavijero (1789) and Velarde (1716). Jojoba has now found its way into contemporary commercial applications. The oil has been targeted for several potential uses that include lubricants, cosmeticsand pharmaceuticals. Jojoba is ideally suited in many of these fields because of the oil's unique chemical structure. The seed oil, sometimes referred to as a liquid wax, is unique in the plant world and hasbeen compared with theoilof the endangered sperm whale. Large -scale attempts have been made to domesticate and cultivate jojoba plants. Also, an industry, based on the seed harvested from natural stands, has been established. ix The University of Arizona has been involved in jojoba research since the 1930s. The University's Office of Arid Lands Studies (OALS) has promoted the useand study of this renewablenatural resource largely through information dissemination since the early 1970s. After the First International Conference on Jojoba, held at the University of Arizona in 1972, OALS published a comprehensive annotated bibliography and literature review on jojoba titled Jojoba: A Wax -Producing Shrub of the Sonoran Desert (Sherbrooke and Haase, 1974). A supplement to the 1974 bibliography was published as Jojoba: An Annotated Bibliographic Update (Sherbrooke, 1978). World -wide interest in jojoba and the demand for information during the last decade have been phenomenal. A more current reference tool now seems appropriate. This document, as the title suggests, is a comprehensive guide to the literature on jojoba. It integrates nearly 400 citations referenced in the first two OALS bibliographies with more than 300 new citations. The literature guide includes: a) an annotated bibliography citing jojoba- specific research works; b) a selectedbibliography of historical, ethnobotanical and earlytaxonomic and systematic literature; and c) a key word index. Following the tradition set forth by Sherbrooke and Haase, I hope that this literature guide will provide an equally helpful background of knowledge to stimulate further interest and investigation of jojoba and its economic development. x Acknowledgment I am indebted to my friends and colleagues at OALS who have provided constant support and encouragement of this endeavor. The work and advice of Wade Sherbrooke, whose previous publications constitute a large part of this document, have been invaluable. A sincere debt of gratitude is owed to Vicki Lee Thomas who endured the painstaking task of data entry with unceasing good cheer and professionalism. Thanksalso to: Beth Hoff, abstractor; Kay Mirocha, botanical illustrator; Paul Mirocha, artist and cover designer;Mercy Valencia,translator and abstractor; and Emily Whitehead, data entry technician. xi Annotated Bibliography 0001 ABRAMOVICH, R. /TAL, M./FORTI, M. 1978 SELECTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF SIMMONDSIA.

GASEOUS EXCHANGE WAS STUDIED BY EXPOSING LEAVES SIMULTANEOUSLY TO RADIOISOTOPES OF WATER (SUP 3 RHO) AND CARBON DIOXIDE (SUP 14 CO SUB 2) TO DETERMINE CONDUCTANCES TO WATER VAPOR AND TOTAL CONDUCTANCES TO CARBON DIOXIDE ASSIMILATION, RESPECTIVELY. FIXATION RATES OF CARBON DIOXIDE AND MESOPHYLL CONDUCTANCES TO CARBON DIOXIDE WERE CALCULATED. LEAF CONDUCTANCE TO WATER VAPOR AND CARBON DIOXIDE FIXATION RATES DECREASED MARKEDLY ONLY AT VERY LOW VALUES OF SOIL -WATER AND LEAF -XYLEM PRESSURE POTENTIALS AND RECOVERED TO MAXIMUM VALUES AFTER BEING SUBJECTED TO SOIL WATER POTENTIALS BELOW -40 BARS, INDICATING THE EXTREME DROUGHT TOLERANCE OF SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS. THE RATIOS OF CONDUCTANCE TO CARBON DIOXIDE:CONDUCTANCE TO WATER INCREASED AS WATER STRESS BECAME MORE INTENSE, SUGGESTING THAT TRANSPIRATION WAS REDUCED RELATIVELY MORE THAN PHOTOSYNTHESIS, WHICH COULD HAVE CONSIDERABLE VALUE UNDER DROUGHT STRESS. PLANTS UNDER INTENSE WATER STRESS GENERALLY HAD LITTLE OR NO REDUCTION IN MESOPHYLL CONDUCTANCE TO CARBON DIOXIDE. THERE WAS NO SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN CONDUCTANCE TO WATER VAPOR, CARBON DIOXIDE FIXATION RATE, OR MESOPHYLL CONDUCTANCE TO CARBON DIOXIDE WITH INCREASING SALINITY DOWN TO ROOT MEDIUM OSMOTIC POTENTIALS AS LOW AS -9 BARS. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REPORTED HIGH SALT TOLERANCE OF SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS. NITROGEN- DEFICIENT PLANTS HAD SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN CARBON DIOXIDE FIXATION RATE AND MESOPHYLL CONDUCTANCE TO CARBON DIOXIDE BUT NOT IN CONDUCTANCE TO WATER VAPOR.

  • Jojoba Esters on Skin Barrier Function, Skin Hydration, and Consumer Preference
    Title Effect of Jojoba Esters on Skin Barrier Function, Skin Hydration, and Consumer Preference Author Tiffany N. Oliphant, M.S., C.C.R.C. and Robert A. Harper, Ph.D., Consultant Abstract Previous literature shows that jojoba oil and jojoba oil derivatives have multiple skin benefits associated with anti-inflammation, barrier function, and skin hydration. The current research explores the action of Jojoba Esters with different melting points on the improvement of barrier function after sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) insult, reduction of barrier disruption when applied prior to SLS insult, and on skin hydration as compared to known petrolatum-alternatives. In addition, a consumer preference study was carried out comparing Jojoba Esters with a known marketed petrolatum alternative ingredient. The data show that Jojoba Esters have the capability of reducing damage to the skin barrier, as measured by TEWL, in a dose dependent manner, and can accelerate the recovery of the SLS damaged skin barrier. The data also show that the Jojoba Esters, when added to a vehicle formula, produced statistically significant increases in skin hydration when compared to the vehicle and to the marketed petrolatum-alternative ingredients formulated in the same vehicle. Moreover, the formula containing the Jojoba Esters produced levels of skin hydration that were not statistically significantly different from 10% petrolatum formulated into the same vehicle. Additionally, the consumer preference study showed that the subjects preferred the Jojoba Esters formula over the petrolatum alternative ingredient formula with regard to skin moistness, suppleness, and smoothness/softness as well as stickiness and residue of the formulas immediately after application.

Here, we report a simple and efficient cryopreservation method for long-term storage of Cannabis sativa pollen. Additionally, we have deciphered the bicellular nature of cannabis pollen using DAPI staining. We have also standardized a pollen germination assay to assess the viability of cannabis pollen, and found pollen collected from different principal growth stages exhibits different longevity. Finally, we developed a long-term storage method which includes pollen combination with baked whole wheat flower and desiccation under vacuum for cryopreservation. By using this method, we were able to maintain germination viability in liquid nitrogen after 4 months, suggesting potentially indefinite preservation of cannabis pollen.

  • 2000 Crop Report
    WALNUTS The first English, or Persian, Walnut* trees were brought to California around 1770 by the Mission fathers who acquired them in South America. These early trees bore small round nuts with very hard shells and were cultivated to a limited extent by early California pioneers, In 1856, Ozro W. Childs is reported to have planted the first commercial orchard in California. Today 99 percent of the total U.S. walnut crop is produced in California, with Sutter County among the leading walnut producing counties in the State. *In Medieval days, walnuts were associated with English merchant sailors and were transported in ships around the world. Because of this, Persian walnuts were soon called English walnuts.

Melek Kostem, MSc Tübitak-Butal Bursa Test and Analysis Laboratory, Bursa Turkiye Abstract The properties of molecular structure, thermal behavior and UVA protection of 10 types of healthy promoting oils which are argania, almond, apricot seed, and jojoba, wheat germ, and sesame seed, avocado, cocoa, carrot and grapes seed oils were studied. FT-IR analysis was used for molecular structure. DSC analysis was used for thermal behavior and UV analysis was used for UV, visible and IR light absorption. Molecular structure and thermal behavior of avocado and cocoa are different from the others. Contrary to the spectra of avocado and cocoa on which the peaks belongs to carboxylic acid very strong, the spectra of the others do not involve carboxylic acid strong peaks. Almond, wheat germ and apricot seed oil absorb all UVA before 350 nm wave length. The UV protection property of grapes seed and cocoa is very well. Protection of wheat germ, almond and apricot seed oils to UVA is well respectively. Absorption of IR rate change from 7% to 25% for carrot, apricot seed, wheat germ, argania, avocado and grapes seed respectively. Keywords: Cosmetic oils, thermal behavior, molecular structure, UV protection Practical applications Except avocado and cocoa oils the others may be used for production of inherently UV protection yarn. This type of yarn can be used for producing UV protection clothes.

  • Characterization, Propagation and Management of Jojoba
    CHARACTERIZATION, PROPAGATION AND MANAGEMENT OF JOJOBA (SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS L.) IN SEMI-ARID AREAS OF VOI, KENYA SHADRACK KINYUA INOTI A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF SOKOINE UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE. MOROGORO, TANZANIA. 2016 ii ABSTRACT Jojoba is a dioecious desert shrub which produces oil of high quality equivalent to that of sperm whale. It is used mainly in the cosmetic and lubrication industry. Currently, there is low production of jojoba globally mainly due to high male to female ratio in the plantations since they are mainly established from seed. To overcome this problem, five experiments were set up with the aim of characterization, propagation and management of jojoba in semi arid areas of Kenya. The experiments included molecular characterization of mature bushes, sex determination in young jojoba seedlings using morphological traits, identifying the most appropriate plant growth regulators and management regimes of mother plants for propagation as well as field established seedlings. Randomized complete block design was used and the treatments were replicated three times. Analysis of variance was carried out using SAS statistical package whereas the differing means were separated using the LSD and DMRT. The experiments were carried out between 2012 and 2014. The results showed that the mature jojoba bushes had a low genetic diversity which was shown by PIC range of 0.2583-0.3748. Single leaf area morphological trait for male seedlings (4.4 cm2) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) compared with the females (3.2 cm2). Anatone gave superior rooting percent of 24.2% for cuttings compared with the other plant growth regulators, IBA, Roothom and the control which were 21%, 14.8% and 11.5% respectively.

International Journal of Agricultural Technology 12(1): 145-165. Abstract Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is an industrial crop being grown in the arid and semiarid regions. Evaluation of ten jojoba clones that were selected from privet jojoba farm was studied to compare their growth parameters such as, tree volume, branch length (cm), branch diameter (mm), number of nodes forming branches, mean length for secondary branches per every branch, leaf area, chlorophyll (A and B), flowering date, flowering percentage, fruit set percentage and seed yield per plant (g). Moreover, seed samples were analyzed for oil content, protein content, minerals content and carbohydrates content. Finally comparing between the studied clones using the different of total protein band and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to determine genetic relationships among jojoba genotypes. All these parameters showed significant differences among the studied clones during both seasons except branch diameter (mm) and minerals percentage in the first season as the differences between clones were insignificant.
