The ability of a host plant to associate with different symbiotic partners affects ectomycorrhizal functioning
(Oxford University Press, 2019-05-17)
Some plants that associate with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are also able to simultaneously establish symbiosis with other types of partners. The presence of alternative partners that may provide similar ...
Effects of thermal and non-thermal processing of cruciferous vegetables on glucosinolates and its derived forms
(Springer, 2018-04-16)
Brassica vegetables, which include broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts, are known for their high glucosinolate content. Glucosinolates and their derived forms namely isothiocyanates are of ...
Management trade‐offs on ecosystem services in apple orchards across Europe: Direct and indirect effects of organic production
(Wiley, 2018-11-12)
Apple is considered the most important fruit crop in temperate areas and profitable production depends on multiple ecosystem services, including the reduction of pest damage and the provision of sufficient ...
Multilevel comparative bioinformatics to investigate evolutionary relationships and specificities in gene annotations: an example for tomato and grapevine
(BMC, 2018-11-30)
Background: “Omics” approaches may provide useful information for a deeper understanding of speciation events, diversification and function innovation. This can be achieved by investigating the molecular ...
Susceptibility of Rhyzopertha dominica to high CO2 modified atmospheres in packaged chickpeas
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
Three MAs with 50%, 70% and 90% CO2 in air was tested at different exposure times on all the developmental stages of R. dominica using chickpeas packed with 4% and 96% filling ratio in which there was ...
High-density mapping suggests cytoplasmic male sterility with two restorer genes in almond x peach progenies
(Oxford University Press, 2015-05-06)
Peach (Prunus persica) and almond (Prunus dulcis) are two sexually compatible species that produce fertile offspring. Almond, a highly
polymorphic species, is a potential source of new genes for peach ...
Efficacy of Modified Atmospheres on Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) and Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2019-07-09)
We investigated the efficacy of two types of modified atmospheres (MA) against adults of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts, and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, under ...
QTL Analyses in Multiple Populations Employed for the Fine Mapping and Identification of Candidate Genes at a Locus Affecting Sugar Accumulation in Melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(Frontiers Media, 2017-09-26)
Sugar content is the major determinant of both fruit quality and consumer acceptance in melon (Cucumis melo L), and is a primary target for crop improvement. Nearisogenic lines (NILs) derived from the ...
Sap flow of a wild cherry tree plantation growing under Mediterranean conditions: Assessing the role of environmental conditions on canopy conductance and the effect of branch pruning on water productivity
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-04-05)
In recent decades, wild cherry has been one of the species most widely used for reforestation in Europe. Studies aiming to select and improve trees to give them the best growth rates and wood properties ...
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 ...
