Natural fruitlet abscission as related to apple tree carbon balance estimated with the MaluSim model
(Elsevier, 2018-12-26)
Apple trees produce many more flower clusters than needed for a full crop, but natural early season flower and fruitlet abscission drastically reduce the final fruit number. Natural fruit abscission ...
Pedigree analysis of 220 almond genotypes reveals two world mainstream breeding lines based on only three different cultivars
(Springer Nature, 2021-01-01)
Loss of genetic variability is an increasing challenge in tree breeding programs due to the repeated use of a reduced number of founder genotypes. However, in almond, little is known about the genetic ...
Double-sided battle: The role of ethylene during Monilinia spp. infection in peach at different phenological stages
(Elsevier, 2019-10-02)
Controversy exists on whether ethylene is involved in determining fruit resistance or susceptibility against biotic stress. In this work, the hypothesis that ethylene biosynthesis in peaches at different ...
Analysis of expressed sequence tags generated from full-length enriched cDNA libraries of melon
(BMC, 2011-05-20)
Background: Melon (Cucumis melo), an economically important vegetable crop, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae
family which includes several other important crops such as watermelon, cucumber, and pumpkin. ...
Attraction of Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) to Sweet Alyssum and Assessment of Plant Resources Effects on their Fitness
(Oxford University Press, 2018-01-20)
The green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the most economically important aphid species affecting crops worldwide. Since many natural enemies of this aphid have been ...
Evaluation of transpiration in different almond production systems with two-source energy balance models from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
(Springer, 2023-10-31)
A growing number of intensive irrigated production systems of the almond crop have been established in recent years. However, there is little information regarding the crop water requirements. Remote ...
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing uncovers the roles of CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE 1 and REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 in melon fruit ripening and epigenetic regulation
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04-08)
Melon (Cucumis melo) has emerged as an alternative model to tomato for studying fruit ripening due to the coexistence of climacteric and non-climacteric varieties. Previous characterization of a major ...
Diversity, functionality, and resilience under increasing harvesting intensities in woodlands of northern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2020-07-03)
Sustainable forest management relies on the understanding of biodiversity response to disturbance and the ecological resilience of the system. The dynamic equilibrium hypothesis (DEM) predicts that site ...
First report of Erysiphe corylacearum causing powdery mildew on Corylus avellana in Spain
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-09-24)
In the Mediterranean basin area, powdery mildew disease on hazelnut is commonly caused by Phyllactinia guttata. The disease occurs in late summer-autumn causing limited damage or economic impact. In ...
Germination of Pisum sativum L. Seeds Is Associated with the Alternative Respiratory Pathway
(MDPI, 2023-10-09)
Germination is a complex process that begins with rapid water uptake and a marked increase in oxygen consumption rate from initiation of aerobic respiration. The mitochondrial electron transport chain ...
