Dissecting the old Mediterranean durum wheat genetic architecture for phenology, biomass and yield formation by association mapping and QTL meta-analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-25)
Association mapping was used to identify genome regions affecting yield formation, crop phenology and crop biomass in a collection of 172 durum wheat landraces representative of the genetic diversity ...
Attention sports fans! The far-reaching contributions of bud sport mutants to horticulture and plant biology
(Springer Nature, 2018-07-15)
A bud sport is a lateral shoot, inflorescence or single flower/fruit with a visibly different phenotype from the rest of the plant. The new phenotype is often caused by a stable somatic mutation in a ...
Microbiota of grapevine woody tissues with or without esca-foliar symptoms in northeast Spain
(Firenze University Press, 2018-07-20)
Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTDs), particularly esca, are major concerns in Spain. This study characterized the fungal and bacterial communities in a 30-year-old ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ vineyard in Catalonia, ...
The high-quality draft genome of peach (Prunus persica) identifies unique patterns of genetic diversity, domestication and genome evolution
(Nature Research, 2013-03-24)
Rosaceae is the most important fruit-producing clade, and its key commercially relevant genera (Fragaria, Rosa, Rubus and Prunus) show broadly diverse growth habits, fruit types and compact diploid g ...
The impact of irrigation on the quality of drainage water in a new irrigation district
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2015-10-28)
La calidad del agua de dos sistemas de drenaje agrícola fue monitorizado en dos temporadas de riego para determinar la sostenibilidad de una zona recientemente transformada de secano a regadío y gestionada ...
Labeling of Monilinia fructicola with GFP and Its Validation for Studies on Host-Pathogen Interactions in Stone and Pome Fruit
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
To compare in vivo the infection process of Monilinia fructicola on nectarines and apples
using confocal microscopy it is necessary to transform a pathogenic strain with a construct expressing
a ...
Prunus genetics and applications after de novo genome sequencing: achievements and prospects
(Springer Nature, 2019-04-05)
Prior to the availability of whole-genome sequences, our understanding of the structural and functional aspects of Prunus tree genomes was limited mostly to molecular genetic mapping of important traits ...
Direct and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11-07)
Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as
happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of ...
Plant Growth Stimulation and Root Colonization Potential of In Vivo versus In Vitro Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inocula
(American Society for Horticultural Science, 2013-07)
Inoculum of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, with growing use in horticulture, is
produced mainly in two technically different cultivation systems: in vivo culture in
symbiosis with living host plants ...
Identification of a new allele of the Dw gene causing brachytic dwarfing in peach
(BioMed Central, 2018-06-14)
Objective
Peach brachytic dwarfism determined by Dwarf gene (Dw) is an undesired trait segregating in some peach breeding programs. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in the ...
