Neglecting the fallow season can significantly underestimate annual methane emissions in Mediterranean rice fields
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-31)
Paddy rice fields are one of the most important sources of anthropogenic methane. Improving the accuracy in the CH4 budget is fundamental to identify strategies to mitigate climate change. Such improvement ...
High-density multi-population consensus genetic linkage map for peach
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-21)
Highly saturated genetic linkage maps are extremely helpful to breeders and are an essential prerequisite for many biological applications such as the identification of marker-trait associations, mapping ...
An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome
(Nature Research, 2018-05-24)
We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ...
Drivers of spatio-temporal variability of carbon dioxide and energyfluxes ina Mediterranean savanna ecosystem
(Elsevier, 2018-07-25)
To understand what is driving spatial flux variability within a savanna type ecosystem in central Spain, data of
three co-located eddy covariance (EC) towers in combination with hyperspectral airborne ...
Forty years of biological control in Mediterranean tomato greenhouses: The story of success
(The Entomological Society of Israel, 2018-11-14)
The article highlights major landmarks in the development of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes for tomato greenhouses in the Mediterranean region. This is the story of how biological control ...
A qPCR-based method for detection and quantification of Polystigma amygdalinum, the cause of red leaf blotch of almond
(Firenze University Press, 2018-06-12)
Red leaf blotch of almond, caused by the fungus Polystigma amygdalinum, results in early defoliationof trees and decreases fruit production in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. A latent ...
Durum Wheat Landraces from East and West Regions of the Mediterranean Basin Are Genetically Distinct for Yield Components and Phenology
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-02-08)
Genetic diversity of durum wheat landraces is a powerful tool for the introgression of new alleles of commercial interest in breeding programs. In a previous study, our team structured a collection of ...
Genotyping by Sequencing in Almond: SNP Discovery, Linkage Mapping, and Marker Design
(Genetics Society of America, 2017-11-15)
In crop plant genetics, linkage maps provide the basis for the mapping of loci that affect important traits and for the selection of markers to be applied in crop improvement. In outcrossing species ...
Attention sports fans! The far-reaching contributions of bud sport mutants to horticulture and plant biology
(Springer Nature, 2018-07-15)
A bud sport is a lateral shoot, inflorescence or single flower/fruit with a visibly different phenotype from the rest of the plant. The new phenotype is often caused by a stable somatic mutation in a ...
Efficacy of a non-pheromone semiochemical for trapping of western flower thrips in the presence of competing plant volatiles in a nectarine orchard
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaría, 2018-07-25)
Non-pheromone semiochemicals or allelochemicals (kairomones, synomones, allomones) are often derived from, or are similar to,
host plant odours and depending on their use, these semiochemicals may have ...
