Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Wiley, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
Preserving habitat quality at local and landscape scales increases wild bee diversity in intensive farming systems
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-02-13)
Biological diversity is influenced by many environmental factors, which can act either at a local scale (e.g. quality and quantity of feeding and nesting resources, habitat type) or at a landscape scale ...
Environmental accounting of closed-loop maize production scenarios: Manure as fertilizer and inclusion of catch crops
(Elsevier, 2019-04-09)
The agri-food sector has moved towards a more linear production economy, partly caused by worldwide food demand. One clear example is the intensification of livestock production, with consequent ...
Pectin methyl esterases and rhamnogalacturonan hydrolases: weapons for successful Monilinia laxa infection in stone fruit?
(Wiley, 2019-05-16)
The secretion of cell wall‐degrading enzymes is one of the mechanisms used by necrotrophic fungi to colonize host tissues. However, information about virulence factors of Monilinia spp., the causal ...
Effects of long-term controlled atmosphere storage, minimal processing, and packaging on quality attributes of calçots (Allium cepa L.)
(SAGE Publications, 2019-12-23)
Calçots are the immature floral stems of the second-year onion (Allium cepa L.) resprouts. Modified atmosphere packaging or vacuum packaging are suitable alternatives to preserve fresh-cut vegetables. ...
A comprehensive genome variation map of melon identifies multiple domestication events and loci influencing agronomic traits
(Nature Research, 2019-11-01)
Melon is an economically important fruit crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years; however, the genetic basis and
history of its domestication still remain largely unknown. Here we report ...
Interplay between hormones and assimilates during pear development and ripening and its relationship with the fruit postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2019-11-21)
The ability of European pears (Pyrus communis L.) to ripen immediately after harvest is cultivar-dependent and relies on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring during fruit growth and ...
Effect of N dose, fertilisation duration and application of a nitrification inhibitor on GHG emissions from a peach orchard
(Elsevier, 2019-08-23)
Despite only occupying 5% of the worldwide arable area, fruit tree crops are of vital economic importance in many regions. Intensive cropping practices can lead to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In ...
Cultured microalgae and compounds derived thereof for food applications: Strain selection and cultivation, drying, and processing strategies
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-08-19)
Currently, global demand for microalgae foods is growing and their functional potential is now evident in several books and scientific studies. One of the aims of the current paper was to review the ...
Effect of microalgal biomass incorporation into foods: Nutritional and sensorial attributes of the end products
(Elsevier, 2019-06-04)
Despite the high content of macro- and micro-nutrients found in microalgae, only a limited number of products containing microalgae have been launched into the market. Most of these products were marketed ...
