Analysis of the melon (Cucumis melo) small RNAome by high-throughput pyrosequencing
(BMC, 2011-08-03)
Background: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a commercially important fruit crop that is cultivated worldwide. The
melon research community has recently benefited from the determination of a complete draft ...
Perceived quality in fresh peaches: an approach through structural equation modeling
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2011-02-28)
The quality requirements that consumers consider in their
decision to purchase fresh fruit have garnered a great deal of attention from the actors in the
fresh fruit productivity chain. This study ...
California perennial grasses are physiologically distinct from both Mediterranean annual and perennial grasses
(Springer, 2011-03-05)
In the Central Valley of California, native
perennial grass species have been largely replaced by
Eurasian annual species, while in many parts of the
Mediterranean Basin native perennial grasses ...
Nature’s contribution to people provided by pastoral systems across European, African, and Middle East Mediterranean countries: trends, approaches and gaps
(Springer, 2024-05-15)
Mediterranean pastoral systems are providers of a wide array of Nature’s Contribution to People (NCP). They are ‘complex
systems’ characterized by limited resources and socio-economic dynamics currently ...
A consensus linkage map for molecular markers and Quantitative Trait Loci associated with economically important traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC, 2011-07-28)
Background: A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon (Cucumis melo L.) over
the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using different marker sets, thus, ...
Syntenic relationships between cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (C. melo L.) chromosomes as revealed by comparative genetic mapping
(BMC, 2011-08-05)
Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two
important vegetable species in the genus Cucumis (family Cucurbitaceae). Both species have an Asian ...
Modelling environmental drivers of Tuber melanosporum extraradical mycelium in productive holm oak plantations and forests
(Elsevier, 2024-05-24)
The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is a highly appreciated edible ectomycorrhizal fungus. It grows belowground and the mycelium and sporocarp production greatly depends on the abiotic ...
Determination of the melon chloroplast and mitochondrial genome sequences reveals that the largest reported mitochondrial genome in plants contains a significant amount of DNA having a nuclear origin
(BMC, 2011-08-20)
Background: The melon belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among vegetable
crops is second only to Solanaceae. The melon has a small genome size (454 Mb), which makes it ...
Disentangling omnivory of heteropteran and coccinellid predators present in peach and alfalfa crops by metabarcoding analysis
(Elsevier, 2024-05-31)
Ecosystems management is essential for the biological control of arthropod pests in agriculture. For this, it is necessary to know which arthropod and plant resources are the most used by the generalist ...
Elicitors of plant defenses as a standalone tactic failed to provide sufficient protection to fruits against spotted-wing drosophila
(Frontiers Media, 2024-04-30)
Spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), is a globally important invasive pest of soft-skinned fruits including raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Current control measures for ...
