Inoculation of in vitro cultures with rhizosphere microorganisms improve plant development and acclimatization during immature embryo rescue in nectarine and pear breeding programs
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)
In the present study, two fungi Cladosporium ramotenellum strain PGP02 and Phoma spp. strain PGP03 and the bacterium Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 were isolated from Pyrus and Prunus in vitro rescued ...
Remote sensing of water use and water stress in the African savanna ecosystem at local scale – Development and validation of a monitoring tool
(Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2019-02-06)
Savannas are among the most productive biomes of Africa, where they comprise half of its surface. They support wildlife, livestock, rangelands, crops, and livelihoods, playing an important socioeconomic ...
Physical and Chemical Properties of Limestone Quarry Technosols Used in the Restoration of Mediterranean Habitats
(MDPI, 2023-09-06)
The lack of topsoil is frequently a limiting factor in limestone quarry restoration. This implies that new technosols for maintaining target habitats must be created using mining wastes as the main ...
Unravelling the responses of different apple varieties to water constraints by continuous field thermal monitoring
(Elsevier, 2022-03-03)
This research aimed at analyzing the response of apple tree varieties subjected to soil water deficit and atmospheric drought in a field phenotyping platform located in the Mediterranean area. The main ...
Observation and assessment of model retrievals of surface exchange components over a row canopy using directional thermal data
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2023-07-21)
Land surface temperature is an essential climate variable that can serve as a proxy for detecting water deficiencies in croplands and wooded areas. Its measurement can however be influenced by anisotropic ...
Impact of invasive bees on plant-pollinator interactions and reproductive success of plant species in mixed Nothofagus antarctica forests
(Springer, 2020-07-30)
Invasive social bees can alter plant-pollinator interactions with detrimental effects on both partners. However, most studies have focused on one invasive bee species, while the interactions among two ...
Germination of Pisum sativum L. Seeds Is Associated with the Alternative Respiratory Pathway
(MDPI, 2023-10-09)
Germination is a complex process that begins with rapid water uptake and a marked increase in oxygen consumption rate from initiation of aerobic respiration. The mitochondrial electron transport chain ...
Meta-QTL analysis and identification of candidate genes for quality, abiotic and biotic stress in durum wheat
(Nature Research, 2021-06-04)
The genetic improvement of durum wheat and enhancement of plant performance often depend on the identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) and closely linked molecular markers. This is ...
Performance of the Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) Model as a Tool for Monitoring the Response of Durum Wheat to Drought by High-Throughput Field Phenotyping
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-16)
The current lack of efficient methods for high throughput field phenotyping is a constraint on the goal of increasing durum wheat yields. This study illustrates a comprehensive methodology for phenotyping ...
Effect of Genetics and Climate on Apple Sugars and Organic Acids Profiles
(MDPI, 2022-03-29)
Apple is widely cultivated in temperate regions. The beneficial properties of apple for
preventing several illnesses are widely known. Nevertheless, qualitative variables such as sweetness
or sourness ...
