Promoting a circular economy by developing new gastronomic products from brassica non-edible leaves
(Wiley, 2023-12-15)
This study aims to apply circular economy principles by reintroducing discarded Brassica leaves into the value chain as innovative products. Non-edible leaves of three Brassica varieties were used to ...
Cultivar differences in the hormonal crosstalk regulating apple fruit development and ripening: relationship with flavour components and postharvest susceptibility to Penicillium expansum
(Elsevier, 2023-08-17)
The hormonal interplay during the on-tree development and ripening of three apple cultivars with known differences in their postharvest ripening patterns was studied, at the biochemical and targeted ...
Interannual dynamics of Tuber melanosporum and fungal communities in productive black truffle orchards amended with truffle nests
(Oxford University, 2023-07-22)
Truffle growers devote great efforts to improve black truffle productivity, developing agronomic practices such as ‘truffle nests’ (peat amendments that are supplemented with truffle spore inoculum). ...
Residual correlation and ensemble modelling to improve crop and grassland models
(Elsevier, 2023-01-13)
Multi-model ensembles are becoming increasingly accepted for the estimation of agricultural carbon-nitrogen fluxes, productivity and sustainability. There is mounting evidence that with some site-specific ...
Dispersal of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor in storage warehouses
(Elsevier, 2023-12-21)
Habrobracon hebetor is an ectoparasitoid that attacks the last-instar larvae of moth pests, such as Ephestia kuehniella, an important pest of grain and flour in storage facilities and in bakeries. To ...
PLANT UNCOUPLING MITOCHONDRIAL PROTEIN 2 localizes to the Golgi
(Oxford University Press; American Society of Plant Biologists, 2023-10-11)
Mitochondria act as cellular hubs of energy transformation and metabolite conversion in most ukaryotes. Plant mitochondrial electron transport chains are particularly flexible, featuring components that ...
Resistance of the citrus rootstock forner-alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans in replant situations
(Elsevier, 2023-02-09)
The resistance of the citrus rootstock Forner-Alcaide 5 to Tylenchulus semipenetrans was assessed in comparison to the susceptible Carrizo citrange (S) in two replant situations. Changes in soil and ...
Biocontrol efficacy of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01 against post-harvest pathogens of fruits
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-09-01)
This work aimed to broaden the spectrum biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01. Inhibition of postharvest pathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum, P. digitatum, ...
Enhanced diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators and biological pest control but reduced crop establishment in organic rice farming
(Elsevier, 2023-08-10)
Organic farming has been adopted as the main alternative to reduce the environmental impact of intensive agriculture by banning the use of synthetic inputs and bolstering key ecological functions such ...
An insect’s energy bar: the potential role of plant guttation on biological control
(Elsevier, 2023-11-07)
Plant guttation is an exudation fluid composed of xylem and phloem sap secreted at the margins of leaves of many agricultural crops. Although plant guttation is a widespread phenomenon, its effect on ...
