Labeling of Monilinia fructicola with GFP and Its Validation for Studies on Host-Pathogen Interactions in Stone and Pome Fruit
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
To compare in vivo the infection process of Monilinia fructicola on nectarines and apples
using confocal microscopy it is necessary to transform a pathogenic strain with a construct expressing
a ...
Interplay between hormones and assimilates during pear development and ripening and its relationship with the fruit postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)
The ability of European pears (Pyrus communis L.) to ripen immediately after harvest is cultivar-dependent and relies on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring during fruit growth and ...
Effect of thermosonication on the bioaccessibility of antioxidant compounds and the microbiological, physicochemical, and nutritional quality of an anthocyanin-enriched tomato juice
(Springer, 2018-10-24)
The aim of this study was to assess the potential of thermosonication as a strategy to obtain safe and high-quality tomato juice
enriched in anthocyanins, formulated using strawberry processing ...
Sorption of carbon dioxide by chickpeas packaged in modified atmospheres
(Elsevier, 2019-06-06)
Modified atmospheres (MAs) with high CO2 concentrations are used for packaging several commodities with different purposes, including as an alternative method for pest control. When used in gas-tight ...
Prunus genetics and applications after de novo genome sequencing: achievements and prospects
(Springer Nature, 2019-04-05)
Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping of important traits ...
Direct and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11-07)
Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as
happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of ...
Plant Growth Stimulation and Root Colonization Potential of In Vivo versus In Vitro Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inocula
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2013-07)
Inoculum of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, with growing use in horticulture, is
produced mainly in two technically different cultivation systems: in vivo culture in
symbiosis with living host plants ...
Identification of a new allele of the Dw gene causing brachytic dwarfing in peach
(BioMed Central, 2018-06-14)
Objective
Peach brachytic dwarfism determined by Dwarf gene (Dw) is an undesired trait segregating in some peach breeding programs. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in the ...
A qPCR-based method for detection and quantification of Polystigma amygdalinum, the cause of red leaf blotch of almond
(Firenze University Press, 2018-06-12)
Red leaf blotch of almond, caused by the fungus Polystigma amygdalinum, results in early defoliationof trees and decreases fruit production in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. A latent ...
Durum Wheat Landraces from East and West Regions of the Mediterranean Basin Are Genetically Distinct for Yield Components and Phenology
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-02-08)
Genetic diversity of durum wheat landraces is a powerful tool for the introgression of new alleles of commercial interest in breeding programs. In a previous study, our team structured a collection of ...
