The Influence of Chilling and Heat Accumulation on Bloom Timing, Bloom Length and Crop Yield in Almonds (Prunus dulcis (Mill.))
<p>Almonds are one of the first commercial nut trees to bloom in early spring and thus are susceptible to temperature patterns prior to and during bloom which affect bloom timing, bloom length, pollination and nut set. Data used in this project include yearly dates of 90% bloom from 1996-2006, …

Phytate Extraction and Stimulation of Phytase by Zn & Mg in Seeds
<p>Almonds, peanuts, mung beans and soy beans were soaked in distilled water for 0, 2, 6, 18 and 24 hours, and the phytate in the seeds and in the soak water was quantitatively analyzed. A comparison of phytate content was made after the seeds were soaked in 0.01 N HCl or in saturated NaHco 3. The …
