First report of Erysiphe corylacearum causing powdery mildew on Corylus avellana in Spain
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021-09-24)
In the Mediterranean basin area, powdery mildew disease on hazelnut is commonly caused by Phyllactinia guttata. The disease occurs in late summer-autumn causing limited damage or economic impact. In ...
Hazelnut Kernel Size and Industrial Aptitude
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Kernel size is the main hazelnut quality parameter for the consumption market. However, industrial purposes are the main destination for the main hazelnut cultivars. This work aims to identify industrial ...
Comparison of selection methods for the establishment of a core collection using SSR markers for hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) accessions from European germplasm repositories
(Springer, 2021-11-19)
Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is one of the most important tree nut crops in Europe. Germplasm accessions are conserved in ex situ repositories, located in countries where hazelnut production occurs. ...
Rhizosphere microorganisms enhance in vitro root and plantlet development of Pyrus and Prunus rootstocks
(Springer, 2021-03-14)
The rooting of fruit tree rootstocks is the most challenging step of the in vitro propagation process.
The use of rhizosphere microorganisms to promote in vitro rooting and plant growth as an alternative ...
An Agronomic Approach to Pine Nut Production by Grafting Stone Pine on Two Rootstocks
(MDPI, 2021-10-22)
Stone pine (Pinus pinea) grows in natural stands within the Mediterranean basin and its nut is highly appreciated for its nutritional profile. Nevertheless, a decline in this species due to biotic and ...
Advances in Rootstock Breeding of Nut Trees: Objectives and Strategies
(MDPI, 2021-10-20)
The production and consumption of nuts are increasing in the world due to strong economic returns and the nutritional value of their products. With the increasing role and importance given to nuts (i.e., ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-06-14)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land–atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main ...
Response of Malus x domestica Borkh to metamitron and high night temperature: Effects on physiology and fruit abscission
(Elsevier, 2021-09-25)
Periods of high nighttime temperature may induce carbohydrate (CH) shortage by increased dark respiration. Metamitron is a thinning agent that inhibits photosynthesis and enhances fruit abscission due ...
Chemical and Sensory Characterization of Nine Spanish Monovarietal Olive Oils: An Emphasis on Wax Esters

Olive oil is an essential part of the so-called “Mediterranean diet”, purportedly one of the healthiest gastronomic traditions in the world. The wax content in olive oil is regulated under European Union ...
Management-dependent effects of pollinator functional diversity on apple pollination services: A response–effect trait approach
(Wiley, 2021-09-08)
1. Functional traits mediate the response of communities to disturbances (response traits) and their contribution to ecosystem functions (effect traits). To predict how anthropogenic disturbances influence ...
