Almond tolerance

Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb

A comprehensive characteristic of almond adaptation to abiotic and biotic stresses, assessed through physiological indicators and the ability to maintain productivity under the influence of adverse factors.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Almond, where this is mentioned in the description.

When assessing almond tolerance to salinity, growth rate maintenance and chloride ion accumulation in leaves under NaCl solution exposure are analyzed. Under drought conditions, key indicators include leaf relative water content, proline concentration, membrane stability index, and photosynthetic rate.

Frost resistance of almond reproductive organs is determined by the chlorophyll fluorescence method, where the main indicator is the temperature causing 50% damage to flowers. Tolerance to biotic factors is assessed as field resistance to fungal pathogens, allowing the plant to maintain crop quality and volume in the presence of infection.
