Inoculum and infection dynamics of Polystigma amygdalinum in almond orchards in Spain
(American Phytopathological Society, 2020-02-20)
Red leaf blotch (RLB) disease of almond, caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is an important foliar disease in most production regions of the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East because severe infections ...
Cross-incompatibility in the cultivated almond (Prunus dulcis): Updating, revision and correction
(Elsevier, 2018-10-24)
Most almond cultivars are self-incompatible, and so to obtain a yield they need to be pollinated with cross-compatible cultivars. For an efficient use of these cultivars in growing and breeding, over ...
Biochemical and genetic implications of the slow ripening phenotype in peach fruit
(Elsevier, 2019-09-14)
The peach [Prunus persica L. (Batsch)] slow ripening (SR) trait is a mutation preventing the normal fruit ripening process. It is determined by a single Mendelian gene (Sr/sr) located on linkage group ...
Hail nets do not affect the efficacy of metamitron for chemical thinning of apple tree
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-19)
Hail nets reduce photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and alter the environment under the netting in apple orchards. Thus, we investigated the effect of nets on the efficacy of metamitron, a ...
Processing factors that affect the balance of alcohols and alkyl esters during ‘Arbequina’ olive oil production: Separation and clarification steps
(Elsevier, 2021-06-03)
The aim of this study was to assess how different conditions used on the centrifugation step during olive oil extraction affect its quality by considering the balance of fatty acid alkyl esters (FAAEs) ...
Long-term agronomical performance and iron chlorosis susceptibility of several Prunus rootstocks grown under loamy and calcareous soil conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-11-29)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic performance (vigor, yield, yield efficiency, number of root suckers), fruit quality (fruit weight, fruit size, flesh firmness, soluble solids ...
Cultivar Susceptibility and Environmental Parameters Affecting Symptom Expression of Red Leaf Blotch of Almond in Spain
(American Phytopathological Society, 2021-02-12)
Red leaf blotch (RLB) of almond, caused by Polystigma amygdalinum, is an important foliar disease of this nut tree in the Mediterranean basin and Middle East regions. In recent years, the incidence of ...
Post petal fall applications of gibberellins improve fruit set on pear
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
Commercial pear production has become increasingly difficult over the last decade, with low fruit set being one of the main factors leading to poor yield of pear orchards. The use of gibberellins to ...
Acidification of the culture medium as a strategy to control endophytic contaminations in Prunus spp. rootstocks cultured in GreenTray TIS bioreactor
(Elsevier, 2021-08-20)
Overgrowth of endophytes in some in vitro cultures may disrupt the normal shoot tip growth and proliferation, being necessary to obtain endophytes-free cultures to achieve a normal plant micropropagation ...
Ecological and evolutionary drivers of phenotypic and genetic variation in the European crabapple [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.], a wild relative of the cultivated apple
(Oxford University Press, 2023-05-06)
Background and Aims
Studying the relationship between phenotypic and genetic variation in populations distributed across environmental gradients can help us to understand the ecological and evolutionary ...
