Analysing olive ripening with digital image RGB histograms
(Elsevier, 2023-10-09)
Digital images are commonly used to monitor processes that are based on colour changes due to their simplicity
and easy capture. Colour information in these images can be analysed objectively and ...
Wheat Stem Rust Back in Europe: Diversity, Prevalence and Impact on Host Resistance
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06-02)
The objective of this study was to investigate the re-emergence of a previously important crop pathogen in Europe, Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici, causing wheat stem rust. The pathogen has been ...
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 ...
New insights into flowering date in Prunus: fine mapping of a major QTL in sweet cherry
(Oxford University Press, 2022-02-19)
Flowering date is an important trait in Prunus fruit species, especially for their adaptation in a global warming context. Numerous quantitative trait loci (QTLs) have been identified and a major one ...
Management-dependent effects of pollinator functional diversity on apple pollination services: A response–effect trait approach
(Wiley, 2021-09-08)
1. Functional traits mediate the response of communities to disturbances (response traits) and their contribution to ecosystem functions (effect traits). To predict how anthropogenic disturbances influence ...
A consensus map for quality traits in durum wheat based on genome-wide association studies and detection of ortho-meta QTL across cereal species
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-30)
The present work focused on the identification of durum wheat QTL hotspots from a collection of genome-wide association studies, for quality traits, such as grain protein content and composition, yellow ...
Performance of an Expert Sensory Panel and Instrumental Measures for Assessing Eating Fruit Quality Attributes in a Pear Breeding Programme
(MDPI, 2023-03-27)
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation
selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in the join IRTA-PFR
breeding programme ...
Differential response to calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and allocation in two peach rootstocks in relation to transpiration under in vitro conditions
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Calcium-labelled (44Ca) uptake and transport under in vitro GreenTray® temporary immersion bioreactor conditions have been studied related to aeration conditions. For this aim, Rootpac®-20 (RP-20) and ...
Cytochrome c Deficiency Differentially Affects the In Vivo Mitochondrial Electron Partitioning and Primary Metabolism Depending on the Photoperiod
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)
Plant respiration provides metabolic flexibility under changing environmental conditions by modulating the activity of the nonphosphorylating alternative pathways from the mitochondrial electron transport ...
Woodland strawberry axillary bud fate is dictated by a crosstalk of environmental and endogenous factors
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-09-01)
Plant architecture is defined by fates and positions of meristematic tissues and has direct consequences on yield potential and environmental adaptation of the plant. In strawberries (Fragaria vesca L. ...
