Global loss of climatically suitable areas for durum wheat growth in the future
(IOP Publishing, 2021-10-19)
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is a minor cereal crop of key importance for making pasta, couscous, burghul, puddings, bread and many other traditional foods, due to its physical and chemical ...
A Remote Sensing Approach for Assessing Daily Cumulative Evapotranspiration Integral in Wheat Genotype Screening for Drought Adaptation
(MDPI, 2023-11-16)
This study considers critical aspects of water management and crop productivity in wheat cultivation, specifically examining the daily cumulative actual evapotranspiration (ETa). Traditionally, ETa ...
Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Study for the Phenology Response of Winter Wheats of North America, Western Asia, and Europe
(MDPI, 2023-12-01)
Wheat is a staple food in many areas around the World. In the 20th century, breeders and scientists were able to boost wheat yield considerably. However, a yield plateau has become a concern and is ...
Discovering Loci for Breeding Prospective and Phenology in Wheat Mediterranean Landraces by Environmental and eigenGWAS
(MDPI, 2023-01-15)
Knowledge of the genetic basis of traits controlling phenology, differentiation patterns, and environmental adaptation is essential to develop new cultivars under climate change conditions. Landrace ...
Field Plant Monitoring from Macro to Micro Scale: Feasibility and Validation of Combined Field Monitoring Approaches from Remote to in Vivo to Cope with Drought Stress in Tomato
(MDPI, 2023-11-14)
Monitoring plant growth and development during cultivation to optimize resource use efficiency is crucial to achieve an increased sustainability of agriculture systems and ensure food security. In this ...
Unravelling consensus genomic regions conferring leaf rust resistance in wheat via meta-QTL analysis
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-12-17)
Leaf rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina Erikss (Pt), is a destructive disease affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and a threat to food security. Developing resistant cultivars represents ...
Uncovering the genetic basis for quality traits in the Mediterranean old wheat germplasm and phenotypic and genomic prediction assessment by cross-validation test
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-27)
The release of new wheat varieties is based on two main characteristics, grain yield and quality, to meet the consumer’s demand. Identifying the genetic architecture for yield and key quality traits has ...
Sustainability Assessment after Twenty Years of Sewage Sludge Application on Calcareous Soil Following N or P Criterion
(MDPI, 2024-03-11)
Sewage sludge is a valuable source of nutrients when applied to the soil. Research on its agricultural use has been focused on chemical parameters to prevent heavy metal buildup. However, soil quality ...
Cambios en la presencia de especies de oribátidos (Acarina, Oribatida) asociados a la fertilización con purín porcino en clima Mediterráneo seco
(AIDA, 2024-03-01)
En sistemas agrícolas de secano, la sostenibilidad de las prácticas de fertilización con productos de origen orgánico requiere de indicadores que avalen su idoneidad. Los ácaros oribátidos, por su ciclo ...
