From Genetic Maps to QTL Cloning: An Overview for Durum Wheat
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)
Durum wheat is one of the most important cultivated cereal crops, providing nutrients to humans and domestic animals. Durum breeding programs prioritize the improvement of its main agronomic traits; ...
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 ...
Elucidating compositional factors of maize cell walls contributing to stalk strength and lodging resistance
(Elsevier, 2021-03-19)
Lodging is one of the causes of maize (Zea mays L.) production losses worldwide and, at least, the resistance to stalk lodging has been positively correlated with stalk strength. In order to elucidate ...
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 ...
Performance of the Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) Model as a Tool for Monitoring the Response of Durum Wheat to Drought by High-Throughput Field Phenotyping
(Frontiers Media, 2021-04-16)
The current lack of efficient methods for high throughput field phenotyping is a constraint on the goal of increasing durum wheat yields. This study illustrates a comprehensive methodology for phenotyping ...
Cultivar and tissue-specific changes of abscisic acid, its catabolites and individual sugars during postharvest handling of flat peaches (Prunus persica cv. platycarpa)
(Elsevier, 2021-08-20)
The role of abscisic acid (ABA) during postharvest ripening of peaches remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the temporal and tissue-specific changes in ABA, and ABA catabolites, of two flat ...
Deciphering the Monilinia fructicola Genome to Discover Effector Genes Possibly Involved in Virulence
(MDPI, 2021-04-14)
Brown rot is the most economically important fungal disease of stone fruits and is primarily caused by Monilinia laxa and Monlinia fructicola. Both species co-occur in European orchards although M. ...
Effects of the application of a moderate alternate wetting and drying technique on the performance of different European varieties in Northern Italy rice system
(Elsevier, 2021-07-03)
Alternate wetting and drying (AWD) technique has been developed and evaluated on rice (Oryza sativa) systems in several countries worldwide for increasing water use efficiency and reducing negative ...
Overexpression of thioredoxin m in chloroplasts alters carbon and nitrogen partitioning in tobacco
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05-08)
In plants, there is a complex interaction between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism, and its coordination is fundamental for plant growth and development. Here, we studied the influence of thioredoxin ...
TERRAM and LUX Series: Four Yellow-fleshed and Three White-fleshed Peaches
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2021-08-20)
In Spain, peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] production has experienced an increase of ≈30% during the past 20 years [Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment (MAPAMA), 2021]. In 2018, the total ...
