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 ...
Genotyping by Sequencing in Almond: SNP Discovery, Linkage Mapping, and Marker Design
(Genetics Society of America, 2017-11-15)
In crop plant genetics, linkage maps provide the basis for the mapping of loci that affect important traits and for the selection of markers to be applied in crop improvement. In outcrossing species ...
QTL Analyses in Multiple Populations Employed for the Fine Mapping and Identification of Candidate Genes at a Locus Affecting Sugar Accumulation in Melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(Frontiers Media, 2017-09-26)
Sugar content is the major determinant of both fruit quality and consumer acceptance in melon (Cucumis melo L), and is a primary target for crop improvement. Nearisogenic lines (NILs) derived from the ...
Extreme hydrological events and the influence of reservoirs in a highly regulated river basin of northeastern Spain
(Elsevier, 2017-04-13)
Study region: The Segre basin (northeastern Spain).
Study focus: The Segre basin is extensively regulated, through a dense network of dams, during the second half of the 20th century. This study assessed ...
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 ...
Integrated QTL detection for key breeding traits in multiple peach progenies
(BMC, 2017-06-06)
Background: Peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) is a major temperate fruit crop with an intense breeding activity.Breeding is facilitated by knowledge of the inheritance of the key traits that are often ...
Predicted Release and Analysis of Novel ACE-I, Renin, and DPP-IV Inhibitory Peptides from Common Oat (Avena sativa) Protein Hydrolysates Using in Silico Analysis
(MDPI, 2017-12-04)
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in regulating hypertension by controlling vasoconstriction and intravascular fluid volume. RAAS itself is largely regulated by the ...
Effect of Ppd-1 photoperiod sensitivity genes on dry matter production and allocation in durum wheat
(Elsevier, 2017-06-21)
Understanding the effect of genetic factors controlling flowering time is essential to fine-tune phenological
development and to maximize yield. Thirty-four spring durum wheat genotypes classified in ...
Genetic analysis of the wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) volatile composition
(Elsevier, 2017-10-25)
The volatile composition of wild strawberry (Fragaria vesca) fruit differs from that of the cultivated strawberry, having more intense and fruity aromas. Over the last few years, the diploid F. vesca ...
Cytoplasmic male sterility as a biological confinement tool for maize coexistence: optimization of pollinator spatial arrangement
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2017-04-25)
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) allows efficient biological confinement of transgenes if pollen-mediated gene flow has to be reduced or eliminated. For introduction of CMS maize in agricultural practice, ...
