High-throughput methods to identify male Cannabis sativa using various genotyping methods
(BMC, 2022-11-02)
Background
Cannabis sativa is a primarily dioecious angiosperm that exhibits sexual developmental plasticity. Developmental genes for staminate male flowers have yet to be elucidated; however, there ...
Physiological and Agronomical Responses of ‘Vairo’ Almond and ‘Big Top’ Nectarine Cultivars Grafted onto Different Prunus Rootstocks and Grown under Semiarid Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-03-28)
Two trials were conducted under Mediterranean conditions to monitor several physiological indicators before harvest (leaf chlorophyll concentration, quantum yield of photosystem II
electron transport, ...
An efficient CRISPR-Cas9 enrichment sequencing strategy for characterizing complex and highly duplicated genomic regions. A case study in the Prunus salicina LG3-MYB10 genes cluster
(BMC, 2022-08-27)
Background: Genome complexity is largely linked to diversifcation and crop innovation. Examples of regions with duplicated genes with relevant roles in agricultural traits are found in many crops. In ...
Biological N fixation but not mineral N fertilization enhances the accumulation of N in peanut soil in maize/peanut intercropping system
(Elsevier, 2022-09-06)
Legume/cereal intercropping has the potential to maximize the use of resources to raise yields due to enhanced nitrogen (N) fixation by legume root nodules, while high N fertilization may inhibit the ...
Inheritance of esters and other volatile compounds responsible for the fruity aroma in strawberry
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-12)
Cultivated strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa, has a complex aroma due to the presence of more than 350 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, a mixture of only 19 compounds, called Key Volatile ...
Current situation, trends and challenges for efficient and sustainable peach production
(Elsevier, 2022-01-22)
In Spain, the total surface occupied by deciduous fruit species in 2019 was 190,414 ha. Peach is the second most
important Prunus species with 77,464 ha and a production of 1,480,000 t per year. Labour ...
Genome-wide association analysis od senescence-related traits in maize
(MDPI, 2022-12-14)
Senescence is a programmed process that involves the destruction of the photosynthesis apparatus and the relocation of nutrients to the grain. Identifying senescence-associated genes is essential to ...
Development of brown rot epidemics in Spanish peach orchards
(Springer, 2022-04-07)
A new approach to modelling epidemics of
brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. in Ebro Valley
peach orchards has been developed. This compartmental model was subdivided according to the phenological
stages ...
Extended methane mitigation capacity of a mid-season drainage beyond the rice growing season: a case in Spain
(Springer Nature, 2022-08-05)
Rice cultivation is a major source of methane (CH4) emissions. Intermittent irrigation systems in rice cultivation, such as the mid-season drainage (MSD), are effective strategies to mitigate CH4 emissions ...
Will temperature and rainfall changes prevent yield progress in Europe?
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-31)
Concerns about the effects of global warming on crop yields have been raised due to stagnating yield progress in recent years. However, an understanding of the effects of changes in temperature and ...
