Advances in Rootstock Breeding of Nut Trees: Objectives and Strategies
(MDPI, 2021-10-20)
The production and consumption of nuts are increasing in the world due to strong economic returns and the nutritional value of their products. With the increasing role and importance given to nuts (i.e., ...
Efficiency of the traditional practice of traps to stimulate black truffle production, and its ecological mechanisms
(Nature Research, 2022-09-28)
The black truffle Tuber melanosporum was disseminated all over the world, propelled by the development of a wide variety of empirical practices. A widespread practice, called ‘truffle trap’, consists ...
Peach genetic resources: diversity, population structure and linkage disequilibrium
(BMC, 2013-09-16)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is one of the most important model fruits in the Rosaceae family.
Native to the west of China, where peach has been domesticated for more than 4,000 years, ...
Hazelnut Kernel Size and Industrial Aptitude
(MDPI, 2021-11-09)
Kernel size is the main hazelnut quality parameter for the consumption market. However, industrial purposes are the main destination for the main hazelnut cultivars. This work aims to identify industrial ...
Global trends in nature’s contributions to people
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-12-07)
Declining biodiversity and ecosystem functions put many of nature’s contributions to people at risk. We review and synthesize the scientific literature to assess 50-y global trends across a broad range ...
Unravelling opportunities, synergies, and barriers for enhancing silvopastoralism in the Mediterranean
(Elsevier, 2022-04-16)
Silvopastoral systems combine wood perennials with forage and livestock. These multipurpose wood-pasture habitats represent an important part of European bio-cultural and ecological heritage. However, ...
Evaluation of carbon balance and carbohydrate reserves from forced (Vitis vinifera L.) cv. Tempranillo vines
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-22)
Elevated temperatures during berry ripening have been shown to affect grape quality. The crop forcing technique (summer pruning that ‘force’ the vine to start a new cycle) has been shown to improve berry ...
LeTra: a leaf tracking workfow based on convolutional neural networks and intersection over union
(BMC, 2024-01-17)
Background: The study of plant photosynthesis is essential for productivity and yield. Thanks to the development of high‑throughput phenotyping (HTP) facilities, based on chlorophyll fuorescence imaging, ...
Modulating climacteric intensity in melon through QTL stacking
(Oxford University Press, 2022-06-03)
Fruit ripening is one of the main processes affecting fruit quality and shelf life. In melon there are both climacteric and non-climacteric genotypes, making it a suitable species to study fruit ripening. ...
Climate service driven adaptation may alleviate the impacts of climate change in agriculture
(Nature, 2022-11-12)
Building a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector requires the development and implementation of tailored climate change adaptation strategies. By focusing on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. ...
