Improving in-season wheat yield prediction using remote sensing and additional agronomic traits as predictors
(Frontiers Media, 2023-04-03)
The development of accurate grain yield (GY) multivariate models using normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) assessments obtained from aerial vehicles and additional agronomic traits is a promising ...
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 ...
Plant performance and metabolomic profile of loquat in response to mycorrhizal inoculation, Armillaria mellea and their interaction
(MDPI, 2020-06-24)
A greenhouse experiment was established with loquat plants to investigate the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the control of the white root rot fungus Armillaria mellea and to determine ...
Meta-QTL analysis and identification of candidate genes for quality, abiotic and biotic stress in durum wheat
(Nature Research, 2021-06-04)
The genetic improvement of durum wheat and enhancement of plant performance often depend on the identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) and closely linked molecular markers. This is ...
Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
(MDPI, 2023-04-29)
Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has
been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem
feeders, the ...
Recovery of phosphorus from waste water profiting from biological nitrogen treatment: Upstream, concomitant or downstream precipitation alternatives
(MDPI, 2020-07-18)
Mined phosphate rock is the largest source of phosphorus (P) for use in agriculture and agro-industry, but it also is a finite resource irregularly distributed around the world. Alternatively, waste ...
Monitoring crop evapotranspiration and crop coefficients over an almond and pistachio orchard throughout remote sensing
(MDPI, 2018-12-10)
In California, water is a perennial concern. As competition for water resources increases due to growth in population, California’s tree nut farmers are committed to improving the efficiency of water ...
Contribution of molecular tools in the development of products based on antagonistic microorganisms, for the control of post-harvest diseases
(Universidad Autónoma de Nayarit, 2020-11-06)
Currently European legislation ((EU) No. 546/2011) requires a rigorous risk assessment before registering a biological fungicide as a postharvest plant protection product for fruit, and before placing ...
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 ...
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. ...
