Determination of spray drift and buffer zones in 3D crops using the ISO standard and new LiDAR methodologies
(Elsevier, 2020-01-15)
Spray drift generated in the application of plant protection products in tree crops (3D crops) is a major source of environmental contamination, with repercussions for human health and the environment. ...
Understanding the key preharvest factors determining ‘Packham’s Triumph’ pear heterogeneity and impact in superficial scald development and control
(Elsevier, 2020-11-06)
Although superficial scald (SS) is well characterized on apples, there is still few information regarding the influence that initial fruit’s maturity heterogeneity may have on the development of this ...
Optimal Handling and Postharvest Strategies to Reduce Losses of ‘Cuello Dama Negro’ Dark Figs (Ficus Carica L.)
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-03-18)
The optimal postharvest handling to reduce postharvest decay and maintain quality of ‘Cuello Dama Negro’ fresh dark figs grown in Spain is been studied. Different storage temperatures (0ºC and 4ºC), ...
Pectin methyl esterases and rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases: weapons for successful Monilinia laxa infection in stone fruit?
(Wiley, 2019-05-16)
The secretion of cell wall‐degrading enzymes is one of the mechanisms used by necrotrophic fungi to colonize host tissues. However, information about virulence factors of Monilinia spp., the causal ...
Adventitious regeneration from haploid melon (Cucumis melo L.) leaves as an approach to increase the frequency of diploid plants
(Springer, 2023-02-16)
An efficient process of adventitious regeneration from haploid plant leaves to increase the proportion of diploid plants of six elite melon lines ‘Védrantais’ French cultivar, ‘Piel de Sapo’ Spanish ...
Bee and non-bee pollinator importance for local food security
(Elsevier, 2022-12-08)
Pollinators are critical for food security; however, their contribution to the pollination of locally important crops is still unclear, especially for non-bee pollinators. We reviewed the diversity, ...
Using plant growth‑promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) to improve plant development under in vitro culture conditions
(Springer, 2022-05-05)
Plant in vitro culture techniques are highly useful to obtain signifcant amounts of true-to-type and disease-free
plant materials. One of these techniques is clonal micropropagation which consists on ...
Evaluation of postharvest calcium treatment and biopreservation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on the quality of fresh-cut ‘Conference’ pears
(Wiley, 2018-03-25)
BACKGROUND
Biological preservation with probiotic bacteria has arisen as an alternative to control the growth of foodborne pathogens on food. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of ...
Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Wiley, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
