Agronomic performance of durum wheat landraces and modern cultivars and its association with genotypic variation in vernalization response (Vrn-1) and photoperiod sensitivity (Ppd-1) genes
(Elsevier, 2020-07-17)
This study analyzed the relationship between important agronomic traits and major genes regulating flowering time in a panel of 151 Mediterranean durum wheat landraces and 20 modern cultivars. Field ...
Márgenes verdes como estrategia para favorecer la diversidad de enemigos naturales de plagas en el cultivo del arroz
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2020-10-27)
La sociedad demanda cada vez más alimentos producidos de forma sostenible, lo cual motiva un cambio de paradigma hacia una producción agrícola más respetuosa con el ambiente y la biodiversidad. Aunque ...
Short Communication: Laboratory assessment of ammonia volatilization from pig slurries applied on intact soil cores from till and no-till plots
(INIA, 2020-06-17)
Aim of study: Agricultural activities are the main source of volatilized ammonia (NH3). Maximum rates are reached within a few hours after slurry application. This study aimed to evaluate the influence ...
Interactions among Myzus persicae, predators and parasitoids may hamper biological control in Mediterranean peach orchards
(Schweizerbart Science Publishers, 2020-09-21)
The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a serious pests of peach trees. It has traditionally been managed with insecticides, but social concerns on insecticides use ...
Editorial: Translational research for cucurbit molecular breeding: Traits, markers, and genes
(Frontiers Media, 2020-11-30)
Cucurbits (family Cucurbitaceae) are economically important vegetable crops. Major cucurbits growing globally include cucumber, melon, watermelon, and squash/pumpkin. Other cucurbits like bitter melon, ...
Impact of Postharvest Handling on Preharvest Latent Infections Caused by Monilinia spp. in Nectarines
(MDPI, 2020-11-04)
Latent infections caused by Monilinia spp. in nectarines cause great economic losses since they are not detected and rejected at harvest and can appear at any time post-harvest, even at the consumer’s ...
Depicting the battle between nectarine and Monilinia laxa: the fruit developmental stage dictates the effectiveness of the host defenses and the pathogen’s infection strategies
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-01)
Infections by the fungus Monilinia laxa, the main cause of brown rot in Europe, result in considerable losses of stone
fruit. Herein, we present a comprehensive transcriptomic approach to unravel ...
Allelic Variation at the Vernalization Response (Vrn-1) and Photoperiod Sensitivity (Ppd-1) Genes and Their Association With the Development of Durum Wheat Landraces and Modern Cultivars
(Frontiers Media, 2020-06-23)
Wheat adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions is mostly determined by allelic diversity within genes controlling vernalization requirement (Vrn-1) and photoperiod sensitivity (Ppd-1). ...
Optimizing precision irrigation of a vineyard to improve water use efficiency and profitability by using a decision-oriented vine water consumption model
(Springer, 2020-04-29)
While the agronomic and economic benefits of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies have long been established in red wine grape varieties, spatial variability in water requirements across a ...
Parameterization of Soil Hydraulic Parameters for HYDRUS-3D Simulation of Soil Water Dynamics in a Drip-Irrigated Orchard
(MDPI, 2020-06-28)
Although surface drip irrigation allows an efficient use of water in agriculture, the heterogeneous distribution of soil water complicates its optimal usage. Mathematical models can be used to simulate ...
