Processing, Valorization and Application of Bio-Waste Derived Compounds from Potato, Tomato, Olive and Cereals: A Review
(MDPI, 2017-08-22)
The vast and ever-growing amount of agricultural and food wastes has become a major concern throughout the whole world. Therefore, strategies for their processing and value-added reuse are needed to ...
Natural resistances to viruses in cucurbits
(MDPI, 2020-12-24)
Cucurbit viruses cause considerable economic losses worldwide. The most common viral diseases affecting this crop family are Potyviruses, Cucumoviruses, Criniviruses, Ipomoviruses, Tobamoviruses, and ...
Selection for environmental variance of litter size in rabbits
(BMC, 2017-05-22)
Background
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the genetic determination of environmental variance. In the case of litter size, environmental variance can be related to the capacity ...
Regulation of climacteric fruit ripening in melon: recent advances and future challenges
(Oxford University Press ;Society for Experimental Biology, 2023-07-03)
Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy fruit ripening types, ...
The Efficacy of Four Sunburn Mitigation Strategies and Their Effects on Yield, Fruit Quality, and Economic Performance of Honeycrisp Cv. Apples under Eastern New York (USA) Climatic Conditions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-04-22)
Sunburn is a serious economic problem in practically all apple-growing regions of the world. Losses of apple fruit due to sunburn can range from 10% as high as 50%. Several years ago, this problem started ...
Development and preliminary evaluation of a 90 K Axiom® SNP array for the allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry Fragaria × ananassa
(BMC, 2015-03-07)
Background: A high-throughput genotyping platform is needed to enable marker-assisted breeding in the
allo-octoploid cultivated strawberry Fragaria × ananassa. Short-read sequences from one diploid and ...
Double-sided battle: The role of ethylene during Monilinia spp. infection in peach at different phenological stages
(Elsevier, 2019-10-02)
Controversy exists on whether ethylene is involved in determining fruit resistance or susceptibility against biotic stress. In this work, the hypothesis that ethylene biosynthesis in peaches at different ...
Evaluation of transpiration in different almond production systems with two-source energy balance models from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
(Springer, 2023-10-31)
A growing number of intensive irrigated production systems of the almond crop have been established in recent years. However, there is little information regarding the crop water requirements. Remote ...
CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing uncovers the roles of CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE 1 and REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 in melon fruit ripening and epigenetic regulation
(Oxford University Press, 2022-04-08)
Melon (Cucumis melo) has emerged as an alternative model to tomato for studying fruit ripening due to the coexistence of climacteric and non-climacteric varieties. Previous characterization of a major ...
The Lack of Alternative Oxidase 1a Restricts in vivo Respiratory Activity and Stress-Related Metabolism for Leaf Osmoprotection and Redox Balancing Under Sudden Acute Water and Salt Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05-17)
In plants salt and water stress result in an induction of respiration and accumulation of stress-related metabolites (SRMs) with osmoregulation and osmoprotection functions that benefit photosynthesis. ...
