Regulation of climacteric fruit ripening in melon: recent advances and future challenges
(Oxford University Press ;Society for Experimental Biology, 2023-07-03)
Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy fruit ripening types, ...
Modeling soil accretion and carbon accumulation in deltaic rice fields
(Elsevier, 2023-07-17)
Rice cultivation is popular in low-lying areas such as deltas, but climate change threatens the viability of the crop. In recent decades, the resilience of deltas to sea level rise (SLR) has been ...
Adventitious regeneration from haploid melon (Cucumis melo L.) leaves as an approach to increase the frequency of diploid plants
(Springer, 2023-02-16)
An efficient process of adventitious regeneration from haploid plant leaves to increase the proportion of diploid plants of six elite melon lines ‘Védrantais’ French cultivar, ‘Piel de Sapo’ Spanish ...
Residual correlation and ensemble modelling to improve crop and grassland models
(Elsevier, 2023-01-13)
Multi-model ensembles are becoming increasingly accepted for the estimation of agricultural carbon-nitrogen fluxes, productivity and sustainability. There is mounting evidence that with some site-specific ...
Promoting a circular economy by developing new gastronomic products from brassica non-edible leaves
(Wiley, 2023-12-15)
This study aims to apply circular economy principles by reintroducing discarded Brassica leaves into the value chain as innovative products. Non-edible leaves of three Brassica varieties were used to ...
Cultivar differences in the hormonal crosstalk regulating apple fruit development and ripening: relationship with flavour components and postharvest susceptibility to Penicillium expansum
(Elsevier, 2023-08-17)
The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical and targeted ...
Biocontrol efficacy of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01 against post-harvest pathogens of fruits
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-09-01)
This work aimed to broaden the spectrum biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01. Inhibition of postharvest pathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum, P. digitatum, ...
Intercropping of aromatic plants in truffle orchards: short-term effect on extraradical truffle mycelium and aromatic plant growth
(Springer, 2023-06-09)
Background and Aims
Intercropping of truffle-producing trees with aromatic plants is used to improve profitability of truffle orchards during the initial 4–7 years. However, after that period the ...
Effect of thinning with metamitron, NAA, BA and naphthenic acids on apple (Malus domestica) trees
(Springer, 2023-02-06)
The successful use of chemical thinners on apples requires programs employing multiple chemistries over the thinning period. A thinning program can be designed using various active ingredients in single ...
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 ...
