Inoculation of in vitro cultures with rhizosphere microorganisms improve plant development and acclimatization during immature embryo rescue in nectarine and pear breeding programs
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)
In the present study, two fungi Cladosporium ramotenellum strain PGP02 and Phoma spp. strain PGP03 and the bacterium Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 were isolated from Pyrus and Prunus in vitro rescued ...
Ripening-related cell wall modifications in olive (Olea europaea L.) fruit: A survey of nine genotypes
(Elsevier, 2020-08-04)
The production of olive (Olea europaea L.) is very important economically in many areas of the world, and particularly in countries around the Mediterranean basin. Ripening-associated modifications in ...
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. ...
The ecology of predatory hoverflies as ecosystem-service providers in agricultural systems
(Elsevier, 2020-08-12)
The main contemporary challenge for agriculture is to meet the food demands of the increasing world population while becoming more environmentally sustainable. One way to achieve this is through the ...
Integral procedure to predict bitter pit in ‘Golden Smoothee’ apples based on calcium content and symptom induction
(Elsevier, 2020-11-01)
Bitter pit has been described as one of the most important physiological disorders of apple fruit whose symptoms appear late in the season and during storage and which can cause high economic losses. ...
Modelling physiological and environmental factors regulating relative fruit set and final fruit numbers in apple trees
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-19)
Chemical thinning of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) has been practised for 50 years but it remains an unpredictable part of apple production with large variations from year to year and within years. ...
Quantitation of endogenous amount of ethanol, methanol and acetaldehyde in ripe fruits of different Spanish olive varieties
(Wiley, 2020-02-25)
BACKGROUND The use of healthy olives and their good management along the production process are necessary to obtain the best quality virgin olive oils. One parameter related to the health of the olives ...
Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2020-12-06)
Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ...
