Exploring large-scale gene coexpression networks in peach (Prunus persica L.): a new tool for predicting gene function
(Oxford University Press, 2024-01-02)
Peach is a model for Prunus genetics and genomics, however, identifying and validating genes associated to peach breeding traits is a
complex task. A gene coexpression network (GCN) capable of capturing ...
Use of root pruning, paclobutrazol, and prohexadione-Ca combination strategies to control growth and improve productivity on pear trees
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2019-07)
Growth control in pear orchards is essential, not just to reduce competition between vegetative and reproductive sinks, but also to improve return bloom, yield and fruit quality. The goal to optimize ...
Almond population genomics and non-additive GWAS reveal new insights into almond dissemination history and candidate genes for nut traits and blooming time
(Oxford University Press, 2023-09-25)
Domestication drastically changed crop genomes, fixing alleles of interest and creating different genetic populations. Genome-wide
association studies (GWASs) are a powerful tool to detect these alleles ...
Pesticide dose adjustment in fruit and grapevine orchards by DOSA3D: Fundamentals of the system and on-farm validation
(Elsevier, 2021-12-04)
Agricultural productivity cannot be sustained without the application of plant protection measures. Within the framework of integrated pest management (IPM), the use of chemical pesticides should be ...
Seasonal changes of whole root system conductance by a drought-tolerant grape root system
(Oxford University Press, 2010-09-17)
The role of root systems in drought tolerance is a subject of very limited information compared with above-ground
responses. Adjustments to the ability of roots to supply water relative to shoot ...
Woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann ecology and its relationship with climatic variables and natural enemies in Mediterranean areas
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-10-22)
A multilateral approach that includes both biotic and climatic data was developed to detect the main variables that affect the ecology and population dynamics of woolly apple aphid Eriosoma lanigerum ...
Editorial: Recent advances in hazelnut (Corylus spp.)
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-04)
The European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) of the genus Corylus is a major species of interest for nutritional use, and its nuts are widely used worldwide in the chocolate, confectionery, and bakery ...
The apple REFPOP—a reference population for genomics-assisted breeding in apple
(Springer Nature, 2020-11-01)
Breeding of apple is a long-term and costly process due to the time and space requirements for screening selection candidates. Genomics-assisted breeding utilizes genomic and phenotypic information ...
Effects of Organic Farming on the Physicochemical, Functional, and Quality Properties of Pomegranate Fruit: A Review
(MDPI, 2023-05-31)
In this review, a selection of studies was carried out that evaluated the influence of organic
agronomic practices on the cultivation of pomegranate; specifically, the influence of these practices ...
Resynthesis: Marker-Based Partial Reconstruction of Elite Genotypes in Clonally-Reproducing Plant Species
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-07)
We propose a method for marker-based selection of cultivars of clonally-reproducing plant species which keeps the basic genetic architecture of a top-performing cultivar (usually a partly heterozygous ...
