Dehydration of Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 conidia by adding biodegradable coatings: Biocontrol activity against powdery mildew and physical characterization of the formulated product
(Elsevier, 2021-07-07)
Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 was reported as a promising biocontrol fungus against powdery mildew on cucurbits, although its formulation had not been developed. The present work aimed to develop a ...
Studying and modelling winter dormancy in olive trees
(Elsevier, 2019-10-03)
The abundance of scientific papers dealing with olive reproductive phenology contrasts with the scarce information available in relation to the winter dormant state of olive vegetative structures. In ...
Ethylene biosynthesis and response factors are differentially modulated during the interaction of peach petals with Monilinia laxa or Monilinia fructicola
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
Monilinia spp. may infect stone fruit at any growth stage, although susceptibility to brown rot depends on both host properties and climatological conditions. This said, no studies deciphering the host ...
Metabolomic analyses of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cultivars revealed mechanisms of resistance to aluminum toxicity
(Elsevier, 2020-12-02)
Aluminum (Al) is an important factor that limits plant growth under acidic soil conditions. However, several
plant species developed distinct mechanisms that limit the damage caused by high Al ...
Brevis thinning efficacy at different fruit size and fluorescence on ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apples
(Elsevier, 2019-07-26)
Brevis thinning efficacy depends on climatic and cultivar conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of one application of Brevis in ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ apple applied at different ...
Field validation of biocontrol strategies to control brown rot on stone fruit in several European countries
(Wiley, 2021-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. is the most signicant disease of stone fruit. New approaches to fruit production have necessitated the development of control strategies that are more ...
The haplotype-resolved T2T reference genome highlights structural variation underlying agronomic traits of melon
(Oxford University Press, 2023-09-04)
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an important vegetable crop that has an extensive history of cultivation. However, the genome of wild and semi-wild melon types that can be used for the analysis of agronomic ...
Predatory arthropods in apple orchards across Europe: Responses to agricultural management, adjacent habitat, landscape composition and country
(Elsevier, 2019-01-15)
Local agri-environmental schemes, including hedgerows, flowering strips, organic management, and a landscape rich in semi-natural habitat patches, are assumed to enhance the presence of beneficial ...
Combination of sonication with anti-browning treatments as a strategy to increase the shelf life of fresh-cut potatoe (cv. Monalisa)
(Wiley, 2021-04-12)
Two antioxidant solutions, a patented mixture based on vitamin C and other compounds (Natureseal ®, MV) and green tea extract (GT), were proposed to prevent browning in sliced potatoes. Combination with ...
Susceptibility of Almond (Prunus dulcis) Cultivars to Twig Canker and Shoot Blight Caused by Diaporthe amygdali
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022-06-13)
Twenty-five almond cultivars were assessed for susceptibility to Diaporthe amygdali, causal agent of twig canker and shoot blight disease. In laboratory experiments, growing twigs were inoculated with ...
