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 ...
Exchange of volatile organic compounds between the atmosphere and the soil
(Springer, 2024-03-06)
Background
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play a crucial role in understanding soil ecology and the atmospheric environment. However, the biochemical cycles of VOCs in soil systems and their ...
PbSRT1 and PbSRT2 regulate pear growth and ripening yet displaying a species-specific regulation in comparison to other Rosaceae spp.
(Elsevier, 2021-05-01)
Epigenetic regulation is crucial to ensure a coordinated control of the different events that occur during fruit development and ripening. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases involved in ...
Effects of additional organic micro-minerals and methionine on carcass composition, gait score, bone characteristics, and osteochondrosis in replacement gilts of different growth rate
(Elsevier, 2019-08-23)
Osteochondrosis (OC) is a multifactorial defective endochondral ossification that causes lameness and early culling in gilts and sows. Previous research suggested that nutrition and growth rate could ...
Sap flow of a wild cherry tree plantation growing under Mediterranean conditions: Assessing the role of environmental conditions on canopy conductance and the effect of branch pruning on water productivity
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-04-05)
In recent decades, wild cherry has been one of the species most widely used for reforestation in Europe. Studies aiming to select and improve trees to give them the best growth rates and wood properties ...
Zinc-protoporphyrin content in commercial Parma hams is affected by proteolysis index and marbling
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
The contents of zinc-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) and heme in twenty-four sliced Parma hams made without the addition of curing agents were determined. Expressed on a dry weight basis, ZnPP averaged 45 mg/kg ...
Genotypic variability in radial resistance to water flow in olive roots and its response to temperature variations
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-02-06)
As radial root resistance (Rp) represents one of the key components of the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum resistance catena modulating water transport, understanding its control is essential for ...
Bifurcaria bifurcata extract exerts antioxidant effects on human Caco-2 cells
(Elsevier, 2023-05-13)
The present research study investigated the potential protective effect of Bifurcaria bifurcata extract on cell viability and antioxidant defences of cultured human Caco-2 cells submitted to oxidative ...
Diversity and structure of fragmented populations of a threatened endemic cyprinodontid (Aphanius sophiae) inferred from genetics and otolith morphology: Implications for conservation and management
(Wiley, 2019-12-02)
The assessment of population structure and genetic diversity is crucial for the management and conservation of threatened species. Natural and artificial barriers to dispersal (i.e., gene flow) increase ...
Diagnosis by ruling out other diseases or conditions
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-07-19)
Pig production is nowadays highly specialised, and is dominated by large, intensive, indoor-rearing production systems around the world. As farming systems have evolved, so also has our understanding ...
