Plant Breeding and Management Strategies to Minimize the Impact of Water Scarcity and Biotic Stress in Cereal Crops under Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable ...
Genetic dissection of aroma biosynthesis in melon and its relationship with climacteric ripening
(Elsevier, 2021-03-05)
Aroma is an essential trait in melon fruit quality, but its complexity and genetic basis are still poorly understood. The aim of this study was the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) ...
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 ...
Automatic Fruit Morphology Phenome and Genetic Analysis: An Application in the Octoploid Strawberry
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-05-12)
Automatizing phenotype measurement will decisively contribute to increase plant breeding efficiency. Among phenotypes, morphological traits are relevant in many fruit breeding programs, as appearance ...
Peach for the future: A specialty crop revisited
(Elsevier, 2022-08-03)
Peach is the most important temperate fruit crop worldwide in terms of production after apple. However, a descending trend has been registered over the recent years in several key producing peach ...
Overexpression of thioredoxin m in chloroplasts alters carbon and nitrogen partitioning in tobacco
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05-08)
In plants, there is a complex interaction between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism, and its coordination is fundamental for plant growth and development. Here, we studied the influence of thioredoxin ...
Determination of spray drift and buffer zones in 3D crops using the ISO standard and new LiDAR methodologies
(Elsevier, 2020-01-15)
Spray drift generated in the application of plant protection products in tree crops (3D crops) is a major source of environmental contamination, with repercussions for human health and the environment. ...
Natural resistances to viruses in cucurbits
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
Cucurbit viruses cause considerable economic losses worldwide. The most common viral diseases affecting this crop family are Potyviruses, Cucumoviruses, Criniviruses, Ipomoviruses, Tobamoviruses, and ...
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, ...
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 ...
